How to create geofence


Geofence is a virtual area that you can create on your platform, so as to get an alert when the device enters or exits that area
When you type in the address, it will appear below as you type it.
You have to click on this address confirmation that appears below the one you are typing (if you do not do this, you will get a reading of “Invalid Address”).
Then, you zoom into the location marker; and, drag the red marker to create a circular geofence spanning the desired area (the green marker is an “anchor” – it sets the center of the geofence circle).
You can edit and delete the the geofence by clicking on view/edit geofence. You can also edit the colour of the geofence, change the name of the geofence and change the size of the geofence to make it bigger/smaller. After making the changes you can select the save option and then confirm.
