Hexnode UEM now provides administrators with greater control over offline location tracking and geofence enforcement on Android devices through additional policy settings. 

Offline Location Tracking 

Administrators can now enable or disable offline location tracking and customize how location data is collected and retained when devices are disconnected from the network. 

The following settings are available under Policies > Android > Tracking and Fencing > Location Tracking: 

  • Enable offline location tracking: Enable or disable offline location data collection. 

  • Location fetch interval: Configure how frequently the device captures location data while offline. 

  • Displacement: Set the minimum distance the device must move before recording a new location point. 

  • Retain offline location data for: Specify how long unsynchronized location data is stored on the device. 

  • Clear location data once sent to server: Automatically delete locally stored data after successful synchronization. 

  • Allow disabling offline tracking from Hexnode app: Allow end users to disable offline location tracking from the Hexnode For Work app. 

Offline Geofencing 

Administrators can now enable offline geofencing through the new option under Policies > Android > Tracking and Fencing > Geofencing. 

When enabled, Hexnode evaluates the device’s location against the configured geofences and triggers the associated automation locally when the device exits a fence, even without network connectivity. 

Note: If a device exits a geofence while offline, its compliance status in the Hexnode portal will not reflect the change until the device reconnects and synchronizes with the server.
