Programming Continuous Flow Zones

To be able to apply Zones for your KMS network, the Continuous Flow Zones must first be programmed in your Polygon POS Management database.

Please note: Continuous Flow Zones can only be programmed in an HQ database and are issued to any and all stores from there.  They are visible to view in a franchise partner database but cannot be created or edited there.
