Geofence rules

Geofence rules

A geofence rule links the location of a device to the application of a ready configuration. A geofence describes the area; a rule defines the condition and the action.

Geofence rules: screen of the current admin console

Preparing a rule

  1. Open “Geofences” and click “Create rule”.
  2. Give it a clear name.
  3. Select the geofence, the group and the configuration for entering or leaving the zone.
  4. Test the rule in “Observation” mode.
  5. After testing, switch it to “Enforcement”.

“Observation” checks the conditions without changing settings. “Enforcement” enables the action. “Disabled” stops the rule.

Rules require up-to-date device coordinates and permitted location collection. The absence of coordinates does not confirm that a device is outside the zone. Take the coordinate storage settings into account and use location collection only for a scenario permitted by the organization.
