56 56  If requested, Chief Integrations will restrict TSWs to only show certain areas. This feature is useful if there are some areas you don't want any touch screens to be able to control (e.g. an exterior area that is on a photocell), or if you want to restrict certain touchscreens to certain areas (e.g., only allow touchscreens to control areas on the same floor as the screen itself).

58 -If Chief Integrations has not configured touchscreens this way, or if new areas have been created or deleted, then it may be necessary to edit the configuration file yourself to restrict the visible areas for a touchscreen. This is done by opening the configuration file in a text editor of your choice (Notepad++ or VS Code recommended) and then navigating to the "Touchpanels" section:
