# Area

The Area Tasks are divided into Area Sub-Areas and Facility Areas. Each type is further described below.

## Area Sub-Areas

The Area Sub-Areas Task allows you to view all the Sub-Areas when you input the parent Area. To configure this task, you need to provide a name and, optionally, a description. Additionally, you can customize its behavior by adjusting the following settings:

* **Auto Refresh** - When enabled, the page will automatically update its data at defined intervals. You can set the specific interval according to your needs. The default setting is `false`.
* **Retrieve Data on Start** - When enabled, the system will fetch and display relevant data as soon as the page loads. The default setting is `true`.
* **Retrieve Data on Changes** - When enabled, the system will update the data displayed whenever there are changes. The default setting is `true`.

To configure this task, you need to provide a name and, optionally, a description. Additionally, you can customize its behavior by adjusting the following settings:

* **Retrieve Data on Start** - When enabled, the system will fetch and display relevant data as soon as the page loads. The default setting is `true`.
