Officially assigned or specified for a particular purpose.
“Visitors must park in the designated area shown on the site map.”
“Each department has a designated representative listed in the contact chart.”
Diagrams frequently use 'designated' to mark specific zones, times, or categories (e.g., a designated parking area or designated contact person). When you see this word, look for the exact detail it points to, since the question will usually ask what applies specifically to that designated item. Do not confuse a designated category with a general or default one.
