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 πŸ‘ˆ
