I would like for there to be a way to easily resize zones rather than to click and edit each zone.
I did a large upload and made the zones too big. I need them all to be a smaller size. Our company has over 200,000 zones so this needs to be something I can do in bulk. I also need the option to eliminate zones that got duplicated or overlap.
I know there are bulk deletion options, but I need to maintain the integrity of the current data.
Bad zones and duplicates also need deleted in bulk but not all of them.
x are bad and the highlighted are duplicates.

You will probably just need to bulk delete the ones where your square is too big and then re-import them and adjust the size settings in the import file. When importing a large number of zones, I like to put them in a temporary group or zone type so that I can edit them more easily once they've been added.

I don't know how I would determine which zones are "too big" in my data set unless I bulk delete everything and start over. My last import was in the 20,000 range of zones.
There are no filters available for zone size when looking at zones. The 223,665 is also unwieldy as any way I try to sort this data gets stuck.
Currently, MyGeotab allows you to edit properties in bulk (like visibility or groups), but to change the size or shape of existing zones, the standard process is individual. If you need to resize many zones at once, the most efficient option is: 1. Go to Productivity > Zones > Import Zones. 2. Use an Excel template to import the zones again with the new dimensions (for example, changing the diameter if they are circular). 3. By importing zones with the same name, you will be able to update the existing ones.
Use a paid service first of all. Get the parcel layout from the address. Add a buffer to it if you need to. That will get you all of the zones. You can then test the points of each zone or areas of the zone to see if it is inside of any of the other zones by code. Then when you are good, upload the data in zones to Geotab.
