Disabled: This disables the selected Geofence and removes it from the Coverage Map
tab on the home screen.
• Set as Default Geofence: Toggle the Set as Default Geofence option to set the selected Geo-
fence as the Default Geofence when logging in.
Before saving the Geofence, you must first use the Geofence Drawing Tools and create the Geo-
fence or it will not properly save.
To learn more about drawing Geofences, refer to the
Geofence Drawing Toolkit below.
Geofence Drawing Toolkit
The Geofence Drawing Toolkit is located to the right of the Geofence Manager and above the map.
The Geofence Drawing Toolkit options are:
Search Location
Type in the address or name of a location to help center the map on the area you would like to Geo-
fence.
Hit return or the Search icon to center the map.
Enable Drawing
To draw the boundaries of the Geofence, click the Enable Drawing icon.
The Geofence must be created using clockwise coordinates. The best practice in drawing a
Geofence is to start by selecting the top left coordinate of the perimeter.
To select the starting coordinate, right click the mouse on the location. A focal point will appear on
the map.
Select the focal point and bring the cursor to next focal point on the boundary. Click the coordinate
of the next focal point.
Continue the process until you have created the appropriate Geofence for your boundary.
To complete the Geofence, right click anywhere outside of the boundary. You will see a red marker
icon appear on the first focal point. Drag the red marker icon to the center of the Geofence. This
will set the center latitude and longitude in the form on the left. These coordinates determine where
the map/Geofence centers when viewing the home screen.
Adjusting the zoom level will also be reflected in the form on the left. This value dictates the zoom
level that will be applied to the Geofence when viewing the home screen.
Enable Editing
To edit boundaries for the selected Geofence, click the Enable Editing icon.
To edit the Geofence, select the focal point you would like to adjust and move it to the appropriate
position.
