# Set Area

The **Set area** block is used to define an area value, typically a region of the screen, using a position and size. This area value is then reused in other blocks such as **Find text** or **Click image** to limit their operation to a specific part of the screen.

The Set area block has only one property:

**Note:** The screenshot on this page uses the **Elegance Design** , introduced in **2025.3**. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

## Quick-start

1. Drag **Set area** onto the canvas.

2. Specify the **Area value** and connect it to the blocks that should use this area.

3. Run the flow when it's ready.

## Building block parameters

Parameters  
* **Block header:** Shows the name of the **Set area** block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header and typing a new title. This block has no green execution connectors in the header because it is not executed on its own; it only provides an area value to other blocks.

* **Area value:** Defines the area as **X, Y, Width, Height** coordinates, starting from the upper-left pixel of the screen. The top-left corner of the screen is position `0, 0`.

  You can expand this parameter to work with the position (**X, Y** ) and size (**Width, Height**) separately, and you can pass the value to other blocks that accept an area input.
