Creating a Geofence

 

This topic covers the procedure for creating a geofence within a department. In the system, you can create geofences for an Employee, which are spatial fences that the Employee must stay in (In Geofence) or keep out of (Out Geofence) during his or her session. Once a geofence is created, it can be assigned to an Employee as either an In Geofence or an Out Geofence. The geofence you create in a department can also be added to other departments.

  1. Open the map for the department.
