Geofences
To Add, Edit, and Remove Geofence layers select the Layers button in the top right of the Map:
Geofences are invisible on the map by default.
To see a geofence, select the checkbox next to the Geofence name.
To jump to a desired Geofence, select the bulls eye next to any Geofence.
To add a Geofence, select "+ Add new". This will open a new menu, and a Geofence area will appear on the map:
Move the Geofence area over the location you wish to receive Geofence alerts for by clicking the center dot of the fence and dragging it where you wish to center the fence.
The shape can be adjusted by selecting “Ellipses” or “Rectangle”, then dragging the drag icons on the top and right of the Geofence area:
To finish creating the Geofence:
- Select the geofence icon, or leave it the default truck
- Select a color for the Geofence Area (default is grey)
- Enter a label for the Geofence, such as “Home” or “Office”. Default is "New Fence"
- You can Select which alerts you wish to receive for the Geofence, see below for detailed directions.
- Optional: You can enter a description of the Geofence at the bottom
- Optional: You can make the Geofence a Waypoint. Making it a Waypoint changes all tracking points under that Geofence Area so that they will now show the Waypoint label instead of the street address. For example, a tracking point that normally reads “123 My Street, Anytown, USA” that is placed within a Waypoint Geofence labelled “Home”, will now show “Home” under the address for that tracking point.
- Click Save. A new menu will appear to add text and email alerts for the Geofence
Setting Geofence Alerts:
Use the toggle to turn on or off Enter & Exit Fence alerts.
To add email addresses or phone numbers to receive email and/or text alerts, select the grey gear icon next to the alert name.
Add all desired phone numbers or email addresses
You can also add Do Not Disturb periods for the alert at the bottom. Do Not Disturb periods will disable alerts for the selected time periods, so no alert texts or emails will be generated for the selected time period.
To add a Do Not Disturb time, start by clicking the slide to On (to the right and blue). Next, click on the day of the week you wish to set a Do Not Disturb period for. Click the plus (+) button and use the drop down menu to select a time range for the Do Not Disturb period.
Repeat this process for every time period and day of the week you wish to set Do Not Disturb periods for the Geofence.
