When you've created a project and added your safe zones (geofences) you'll need to sync your devices so they can receive pre-set information about your safe zones.
Please note: Devices will not be able to receive information about safe zones (geofences) until they have been assigned to a project or site.
You can assign devices in Wearable mode when worn by track workers or in asset mode when attached to on-site equipment such as marker boards. Find out about the different modes here 👈
Decide to assign a device to a project or a site
You can choose to assign a device to a project or individual site(s) within a project.
Assign device to | Device behaviour |
A project | Will receive safe zone information from all live sites within the project |
A site | Will only receive safe zone information from chosen site(s) |
We recommend assigning devices to individual site(s) when you have a large project with multiple live work sites. Find out how to assign a device to a project here 👈
Please note: A device can only be assigned to one project at a time.
