Geofences Overview

  • Updated

The Geofences page is designed to help you create, edit, and manage geofences efficiently. The page is divided into two main sections: the Map and the Geofence Panel. Below is a detailed guide on how to use this feature.

Geofence Panel

The Geofence Panel provides an organized list of all existing geofences and tools to manage them effectively:

  • List of Geofences: Displays all created geofences in a well-organized list for easy access.
  • Search: Quickly locate a specific geofence using the search bar by entering its name.
  • Sorting: Arrange the geofence list in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order for convenient navigation.
  • Filter by Tags: Use the Tags filter to narrow the geofence list to specific tags.
  • Export: Download the geofence list for offline analysis or sharing with others.

  • Quick Action Menu: Each geofence entry includes a quick action menu with the following options:

    • Edit Name & Tags: Opens a dialog to update the geofence's name and assign tags.
    • Edit Shape: Opens the map in edit mode. Drag or resize the geofence boundary, then click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
    • Delete: Permanently removes the geofence from the system.

    Warning
    Deleting a geofence is a permanent action and cannot be undone.

Map Section

The Map Section is where you create geofences. You can choose from three geofence shapes and interact with the map to define their boundaries. 

1. Select a Shape

Choose one of the following geofence shapes:

  • Circle
  • Square
  • Polygon

2. Set the Location

Adjust the map's zoom level to locate your desired area, or use the search bar to find a specific address.

3. Draw the Geofence

Use the map tools to define your geofence boundaries.

4. Saving and Naming a Geofence

Once the geofence is drawn, the Edit Geofence dialog will appear. Enter a name, optionally assign tags, and click Save to finalize.
