Monitor your assets on site with geofences

This tutorial shows you how to set up a geofence around a venue, depot or site, and get an alert the moment a tracker moves in or out. Use it to confirm kit has arrived, or to catch it leaving when it should not.

Time: about 4 minutes  ·  Where: Settings › Geofences

Steps

1. Open Settings, then Geofences.
2. Search for the place you want to protect. The map jumps straight to it.
3. Select the polygon tool and click to add corners until the zone fits the site. A tighter fence gives sharper alerts.
4. Double-click to complete the zone.
5. Give it a clear name and any details that make it easy to find later, then Save.
6. Open GeoTags, select the tracker and choose this geofence.
7. Decide when to be notified: on entering, on leaving, or both. Confirm.

Good to know

• Allow for loading bays and parking areas at the edge of a site, so normal movement does not trigger false alerts.
• Link a Group to the geofence to cover many trackers at once.
