Defining a geofence for a location

You can specify a geofence for a location. Specifying geofence for a location will allow you to get notification emails for a shipment if its associated GPS-enabled sensor (e.g., Sendum) is found to be arrived within the geofence area of the location. Thus, this functionality allows you to receive notification about a shipment departure from a location and arrival in a location.

!As accuracy may vary it is recommended to not set the perimeter to strict.

To define the geofence for a location go to the location menu item and click on the button and then click on the ‘Map’ tab.

*If you have defined your address already under the tab ‘General’, the latitude and longitude will be filled out by clicking the Autolocation button.

Click on the Geo Fence button: The screen will show the map with a location icon to which you can interact with to specify the geo fence. You can define the geofence as a circular area around the location. Use the left-click of the mouse to define the geofence in the map. As shown in the following image a circular geofence will be shown around the location and radius of the circle will be shown in the radius field.

You can use the right-click of the mouse to undefine the selected geofence and redefine the geofence. Once you have defined the right geofence click on the button to save the changes.
