Create custom geofences with specific coordinates to accurately track your workforce.

Note: geofences at the most basic are zones that use latitude and longitude to trigger GPS events.  Generally, a geofence is created if an administrator/manager wants a stamp each time one of their users enters or leaves a static zone.

• Name: Selects a name for this geofence.
• Address: Populates the latitude and longitude of the street address that a geofence is desired. (not required)
• Latitude: Specific coordinates delineating the center of your geofence. (can be filled automatically by selecting an address)
• Longitude: Specific coordinates delineating the center of your geofence. (can be filled automatically by selecting an address)
• Shape: Choose if you would like your geofence to be in the shape of a circle or a polygon.  

Note: To properly use a polygon geofence, enter the address where the geofence is desired and then click points on the map that illustrate any polygon.

• Radius (m): Choose the radius/size of your circle geofence.
