What is a geofence?
A geofence is a user-created virtual boundary that can trigger an alert when a GPS-tracked object enters or exits the boundary. For example, you may set up work zones and you want to be able to track where your drivers are in relation to these zones. The geofences shown on the map are determined by your AroPoint profile. Geofences are not to be confused with AroFlo's Resource Zones. |

Geofence groupsJust like with objects, you can create groups for your geofences if you wish. Examples You might want to create groups so that not all of your geofences are displayed on the map at one time. You could have Supplier geofences as one group and Work Sites as another group, or Eastern Suburbs as one group, and Northern Suburbs as another.
Ticking / unticking the check boxes next to the group name will show / hide the whole geofence group on the map. If you don't create geofence groups, a default group of 'Ungrouped' will display. |
