# Set up data migration areas

You can set up data migration areas to:

- Group data migration setup records, for example, by functional area.
- Assign a level to data migration setup records.

Areas are used to generate tasks and task dependencies for the data migration project.

### Steps

1. Click **Connectivity studio - Integration Design**.
2. Click **Projects**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Your currently active project opens. This is the project as shown in the **Project** field on the **Integration design** workspace. Make sure your data migration project is selected.
3. Click **Area**.
4. Click **New**.
5. In the **Area** field, type a value.
6. In the **Level** field, enter a number.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Best practice: Do not use consecutive level numbers. This makes it easier to add areas later.
7. Close the page.
8. Close the page.
