All links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are automatically assigned to it.

Only assign active links/zones

Only active links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are automatically assigned to it.

Do not assign links/zones

None of the links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are assigned to it.
