How to Create a New Place


Press the New Place button. Double-click on a point on map to locate the place.
Input data in the required fields and press OK. The creation of a POI is done.

4.4 Geofence
Geofence, or geographical zone, is some indicated area on the map. It can be used

How to Create a Geofence


Press the Create Geofence button, a window pops up for you to enter the data.
Choose geofence type on the left: line, polygon or circle. Then map the geofence.

Usage
While Tracking Online
If a unit is situated in a geofence, unit info will display geofence data.

Routes Control
Line-shaped geofences with control points can be used to control routes.

Notifications
You can be notified by e-mail, SMS, or online when your unit leaves a geofence or
enters a geofence. See Notifications.

Reports
Geofences can be used in Rides and Unfinished Rides reports as addresses (in the
Location column), if Geofences as address source is checked.

10
4.5 Jobs
A job is a set of actions which are performed by schedule. A job can be instruction
execution, sending reports by e-mail or sending notification by email or SMS.

There are 7 Job types: Execute a command over a unit, Reset GPRS traffic

or just registered in the system to be included later in the report.

There are 12 Notification types: Geofence control, Speed control, Alarm button
trigger, Digital input activation/deactivation, Message parameter control,
Sensor value control, Connection or coordinates loss, Idles, SMS control,
Route control, Driver control, and Routine servicing.

notifications, it is better to form more compact messages.

Route Control is used to track units which go along the route with control points and
predefined schedule. To monitor how a Route Control with 5 stop points, for
example, is executed, you need to:
1. Create a route based on this geofence (give it a name, assign to needed
unit(s).
2. If route is created by a line-shaped geofence, the control point schedule
should follow the route direction and cannot go reverse direction.
3. Mark 5 control points on map. Move the mouse cursor over the points and
press New control point button to assign the schedule.
4. Monitor how the route is accomplished.

4.8 Units
