====== Creating An Assigned Area Task ======
The task is created in the [[soarpilot:creating_a_task#task_editor|Task Editor]] as normal, adding the reference waypoint to be used by each area.

To create an area, you must tap on the **Area** button in the waypoint types.

You can then edit the start bearing (**Radial1**), end bearing (**Radial2**), maximum radius (**Max R**) and minimum radius (**Min R**). In the case above this is a 5km radius circle centred on the waypoint Kell.

To define a circle make sure the **Radial1** and **Radial2** are the same value.

You can see examples of the different areas in the [[soarpilot:assigned_area_tasks|Introduction page]] to this section.

Tapping the **Save** button will save these changes and return the to [[soarpilot:creating_a_task#task_editor|Task Editor]] where you will see the waypoint now marked with a "A" for Area.

Tapping the **Quit** button will return to the [[soarpilot:creating_a_task#task_editor|Task Editor]] without saving your changes.

Tapping the **View** button will bring up the [[soarpilot:planning_an_assigned_area_task|Waypoint Sector]] screen where you can check the area, and plan for the task ahead.
