A geofence is a location-based service that uses GPS to communicate with mobile devices in locations of interest. The following steps walk you through the process of adding a geofence:
1. Choose Admin --> GeoFence Manager from the menu.
The GeoFence Manager appears.
2. Select Add Existing GeoFence from the Select an Action drop-down list.
3. Enter a name for the GeoFence in the GeoFence Name.
Use a name that can help staff easily identify the meaning (eg. "Mechanic Shop Staging" or "Detail Complete").
4. Add a description in the GeoFence Description text box.
5. Select a type from the GeoFence Type drop-down list.
Selecting the correct type helps us better send notifications later
(eg. Sending alerts to a shop manager when a vehicle arrives in "Mechanic Shop Staging").
6. Click on a GeoFence color.
7. Click the Add New GeoFence button.
8. Click the Draw a Shape icon and draw the outline of the GeoFence on the map.
Get in the practice of slightly overlapping the GeoFences to make sure vehicles aren't scanned in a dead zone. When a vehicle is scanned in a dead zone, it often looks like it's located off the property.
The GeoFence is created.
