Geofences can be displayed on the map (the ones that have flags in the
panel 'Geofences' are shown). That simplifies the visual perception of
the map and enriches it. Different regions can be selected by different
colors and you can estimate the units' presence in definite areas. If a
geofence is displayed on the map, you can press <ctrl> and put the
mouse cursor over it to see its tooltip (name, type, list of units
inside, etc.). In case of the geofences that have images assigned, the
tooltips appear as you just point them with the cursor.
In a unit's tooltip and in its additional information you can see its
presence in geofences if the option 'Presence in geofences' is enabled
in User Settings.
Besides, it's possible to get images from external sources in geofences' tooltips (webcam videos, photos, rates of exchange, etc.).
Besides, a column with geofences where units are located can be displayed in the 'Monitoring' panel instead of ordinary addresses.
Note that in order Geofences to be displayed on the map you should check if the corresponding layer is active.
You can be notified by e-mail, SMS, online or by other means when your
unit leaves or enters a geofence. It is also possible to set speed
limitations and sensor range for a unit during its presence in a
geofence. Besides, entering a geofence or leaving it can be
automatically accompanied by an action: send a message to the driver,
block the engine, change users' access to this unit, and many others.
See Notifications.
Geofences can be used in reports as addresses (in the 'Location' column), if the 'Use geofences for addresses' flag
is enabled in the 'Advanced settings' block of the reports' template.
Many tables are generated on the basis of geofences. Among them there are the following:
Geofences can be also used to filter intervals in reports.
When a report is generated, geofences can be rendered on the map.
Geofences can be used as check points while configuring routes.
