How to Create a Geofence Fence (Desktop)
What: A fence is a type of geofence unrelated to your sites. A fence goes outside of a geofence boundary and are created to identify local areas near a jobsite such as a coffee shop, convenience store, or other location where your assets may regularly travel to. Fences may not overlap with any other fence or boundary on the map.
Who: Users with the Geofences and the Edit/Update Geofences permissions.
NOTE:
Geofences can only be created in Tenna on a desktop, not in the Tenna App.

Getting notifications for geofence entry and exit helps keep track of asset movement and can alert to potential instances of reduced productivity if assets are recognized outside of their job sites excessively or for extended periods of time. See How to Configure Geofence Alerts (Desktop) for further information on configuring alerts for your fences.
