How does the Geofencing work?
Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.
Geofencing is a location-based service. You can create a virtual fence around a geographical region and apply restrictions to the devices as it enters or exits the virtual boundary.
To create a fence:
- Navigate to Admin-> Geofencing.
- Click on Create Fence and select a region by typing the location in the text box.
- Draw a rectangular fence over the region and click Save.
To apply a configuration along with the Geofence policy,
- Navigate to Policies-> General Settings-> +Add Fence and select the created fence from the list.
- Click OK. Set up the desired configurations.
- Associate targets and save the policy.
When the device moves out of the fence, the device will be marked as non-compliant. When a device is marked as non-compliant, the user and admin can be notified:
- Navigate to Admin-> Notifications.
- Enable the option ‘Device out of compliance’ under Notify the administrators on (to notify admins) and Notify the associated users on (to notify users).
- Click Save.
