How to Set Up a Geofence

Objective

  1. To better understand how to set up a Geofence in Relay Dash. 

Environment / Applies To 

  1. All Relay Service Plans
  2. Dash

Procedure 

Geofences are a great way to keep track of where your Relays are going. With Goefences, you will be able to see when a Relay leaves a certain location by setting up a virtual barrier. Once the Relay breaks that barrier, a notification will be sent to your App profile and a location history event will appear in Dash. For more information on how to setup geofence notifications, see this article. 

  1. Log into Dash at dash.relaypro.com
  2. Click Location
  3. Click Geofence Admin
  4. Click Create Geofence 
  5. Type in the Address of the Building you are creating a Geofence around
  6. Click the correct address
  7. A Radius will appear, you can set the radius from 40 - 500 meters
    1. Please Note: 
      1. You can also move the Geofence by dragging the map around so the center of the geofence is exactly where you want it.
      2. If you move the geofence from it's original position, the address may no longer appear correctly depending on where the center of the geofence is located.
      3. Geofences also cannot overlap with other geofences.
  8. Once the Geofence is the correct size, and in the correct location, click submit
  9. Name the Geofence
    1. Please Note: Use a unique name for each Geofence to avoid confusion
