Geofence

Geofence lets you draw boundaries on a map and detect when your devices enter, leave or stay inside them. You can create as many geofences as you need, in a circle or polygon shape, and track multiple devices in each.

How Geofence works

1. Draw a geofence on the map as a circle or a polygon, and give it a name and a color.

   

2. Choose the devices to track. Open the geofence’s menu on the map and select the devices you want to watch. Any device that has a location asset can be selected.

   

3. Automate what happens next. For each tracked device you can use a virtual geofence asset that the application creates and manages for you. This boolean asset is true whenever the device is inside the geofence and false when it’s outside. Use it in rules to automate your next steps, for example sending a notification when your bike enters an area of interest.

   

You can also configure enter and exit alerts on a geofence to be notified when a tracked device crosses the boundary.

Geofence sidebar

As the number of geofences grows, finding the right one on the map by panning and zooming becomes slow. The new sidebar gives you a single list of all your geofences.

See all your geofences at a glance

The sidebar is shown on the left of the map. Every geofence, circle or polygon, is listed with:

• its name
• a color swatch matching the fence on the map
• the number of devices selected for it
• shape of the fence, circle or polygon,
• alert icons for the enter or exit alerts configured on it (fences without alerts show no icons)

The list stays up to date as you work: new geofences appear right away, renamed or recolored fences are updated, and deleted fences are removed.

Jump to a geofence on the map

Click any geofence in the list and the map flies to it, showing the whole fence in view. The fence is highlighted on the map and marked as selected in the list.

Search and filter

At the top of the sidebar you’ll find a search field and quick filters:

• Search by name – type part of a name to narrow the list.
• Alerts – show only geofences with alerts configured.
• Devices – show only geofences with devices assigned.
• Circle and Polygon – show geofences by shape.

💡 Filtering only affects the sidebar list. All your geofences remain visible on the map.

Collapse the sidebar

Need more room for the map? Collapse the sidebar to hide the list and give the map the full width. Expand it again whenever you need it. Long lists scroll inside the sidebar without moving the map.

Inside now indicator

You no longer need to wait for an enter or exit alert to know where your devices are. Geofence now shows, in real time, how many of the tracked devices are currently inside each fence.

On the map

Each geofence with tracked devices shows a badge with the number of devices inside out of the total, for example 1/2 inside. The badge updates automatically as soon as a device reports a new location, without refreshing the page. It works for both circle and polygon geofences.

Geofences without tracked devices don’t show a badge.

In the sidebar

The same information is shown in the sidebar list, for example 1 inside. Click a geofence that has devices to expand it and see the list of its tracked devices. Devices currently inside the fence are marked with an Inside badge.

Geofences without tracked devices can’t be expanded.

Select all devices

When choosing which devices to track for a geofence, you can now use the Select all checkbox in the device selection menu on the map:

• Check Select all to assign all available devices to the geofence.
• Uncheck Select all to remove all devices from the geofence.

Devices you select start being tracked immediately and are included in the live inside count for that geofence.

Bulk deletion

Clean up several geofences at once instead of deleting them one by one.

1. In the sidebar header, click Select. A checkbox appears next to each geofence. Search and filters remain available, so you can narrow down the list first.
2. Tick the geofences you want to delete, or use the select all checkbox to select every geofence currently listed. The counter shows how many are selected.
3. Click Delete in the confirmation to remove them. The geofences disappear from both the sidebar and the map, and the sidebar returns to its normal view.

⚠️ Deletion cannot be undone. Review the list in the confirmation carefully before you confirm.
