How to Configure Geofence or Security Perimeter Alerts (Desktop)
Geofences and Security Perimeters have their own configurable alerts. This is so that you can control when, how, and for what you want to be notified. Alerts can be configured for certain days of the week or date ranges, include any chosen recipients, and be assigned to specific asset categories.
Permission Requirements:
- Users with the Manage Geofences and Security Perimeters permission enabled can configure alerts.
In this article:
Alerts are configured in the Geofences feature.
From the Grid View, click the Alerts tab. Then, click Create Alert on the top right.
From the Map View, click on an existing Geofence or Security Perimeter. Then, click on the dotted icon and Create Alert.
How to Create an Alert
The functionality of the alerts, and the way you create them, are the same for both Geofences and Security Perimeters.
- 1
- Click Create Alert.
- 2
- Select 1 or more Geofences or Security Perimeters to apply the alert to.
This is helpful if you want to bulk apply the same alert parameters to multiple Geofences or Security Perimeters.
Note: You cannot apply one alert to both Geofences and Security Perimeters.
- 3
- Name the Alert.
- 4
- Select when to trigger the alert: Enter, Exit, or both Enter/Exit.
- 5
- Select when you would like to be alerted.
- Specific Days: Select which days of the week you want to be alerted.
- Day Range: Select a duration of specific dates and times when you would like to be alerted.
Note: This is not when you want to receive the notification, but when you want the alerts to trigger.
For example, if you want to know when someone leaves Minneapolis on the weekend, select Saturday and Sunday and All Day.
Another example, if you want to know when someone exits Minneapolis before the project is over, select a Day Range for the project duration.
