Create a Preset Focus Area

As you create a Preset Focus Area, you will provide a title and description, and specify the org tree and which of those branches will see the Preset Focus Area. 

An auto-save feature saves your progress as you complete the process so you can safely return and resume at a later time. This is indicated by ✓ Saved! text at the bottom of the screen.
