Geofence is a method to enable the environment administrator to create pre-defined areas that can be used in the environments, criteria for applying policies or strategies that improve device management, increased security, and work efficiency.

Requirements:

  • Pulsus 4.6.0+

Access the environment and click on Geofence tab.

In our example, the fence is already set.

However, for the first fence configuration, click on "Upload .CSV".

It is possible to download the example template, by clicking "Download the file sample".

The file contains the following fields.

Note:

  • Columns that contain * is mandatory.

Fences are circular areas, latitude and longitude are the center point of the area and the radius in meters defines the limits.

It is possible to search for Latitude and Longitude information on Google Maps or Click here.

After setting it, new view options will be available.

1.My fences: All fences uploaded will be displayed, it is possible to edit the description but not the name.

2.Registers: All information will be available, when the group left or joined the fence, and when it was locked and unlocked.

After setting the fence, it is necessary to define the group that will use this functionality.

Access the Configurations tab, and select the rule that wishes to use. If haven't created a rule yet, it is necessary to create one.

Click on Geofence option.

1.Action:

a.Block device: Device will be blocked when one of the triggers is alarmed;

b.Register Event: It will never be disabled, it will only be used so that all records are stored in the system.

2.Triggers:

a.Upon entering the fence: Will record the device's interaction with the fence when it enters in fence;

b.When leaving the fence: It will record the device's interaction with the fence when it leaves the fence;

c.Both: All incoming and outgoing records will be logged.

Note:

  • Block device - When "Block device" is activated, records are made on all interactions and it is possible to decide the option to block.

    When "Block device" is inactivated, for this case the registers are defined by the triggers.

  • Location capture will be by minute, independent of the group setting. Geofence rule conformity, device needs to be connected at least once after activation.

    Web Pulsus only needs the first location to lock or unlock.

    Mobile data or Wi-Fi will only be needed to send the information to the web.
