Geofences: an overview

This article explains what geofences are and how the Geofences page is laid out.

Overview

A geofence is an area you draw on the map, such as a depot, yard or customer site. The platform records when vehicles enter and leave it, and shows the geofence name on the timeline and in reports.


Before You Begin

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • Access to the V-DAQ platform.
  • Permission to manage geofences in your account.

Important

The Geofences page described here is the new map editor. If your platform still shows the older geofence table, these steps will apply once the new editor is released to your account.


Step 1 – Open the Geofences Page

Select Geofences in the side menu.
