How do I create access areas?

Creating access areas (zones) in Bausicht: name, anti-passback, controlled exit zone and default assignment.

An access area is the area a person enters or leaves through an access point – for example the construction area or a restricted safety zone. Every access point refers to an entry and an exit zone. So before configuring turnstiles or doors, create the matching access areas.
