Geofence Areas

A geofence is a virtual perimeter defined by GPS coordinates. Geofence areas are displayed when you use the Locate function to locate your devices on the map. When you configure a geofence area and define it as the Home area, Avalanche can generate an alert when devices report a GPS position that is outside of the defined area.

To configure a geofence area:

1   From the Profiles tab, click the name of the mobile device profile you want to configure.

The Mobile Device Profile Details page appears.

2   Click Edit.
3   In the Geofence Areas panel, click New.

The Add Geofence dialog box appears.

4   Type a name for the area in the Name text box.
5   If you want the area to be a home area, enable the Home check box.
6   Enter the start and end latitude and longitude for the geofence. The start point should be the southwest corner of your area, and the end point should be the northeast.
7   Click Save.

The area is added to the list.
