Assigning Devices to a Geofence
A geofence is only checked against the tracking devices assigned to it. The Devices section of a geofence controls that assignment in three ways, which can be combined.
Items at this location (automatic)
Available once the geofence has a Location. When selected, every tracked item whose stocking point is that Location is covered automatically, and the list under Stocked here shows them. Items that are later transferred to the Location are picked up without editing the geofence.
Select Also cover child Locations without their own geofence to include items stocked at child Locations that have no geofence of their own.
All devices
Under Additional devices, select All devices to check every active tracking device in your company against this geofence, regardless of where its item is stocked. Use this for a head office or main yard where any asset might turn up. Clear it to choose devices individually.
Individual devices
With All devices cleared, add devices that are not stocked at the geofence's Location but should still be checked:
- Under Add device, type at least two characters of the device serial number or its item and select the device.
- Or, select a Stocking point and click Add devices at stocking point to add every device on the items stocked there now.
- Click Save.
Checking the result
Open the Tracking Map and click an assigned item. The detail panel shows the geofence the item is inside and whether it is At assigned location. Any geofence assigned to the device is drawn on the map around the item.
