Inverted

If you want to create a Geofence Group with inverted Geofence, you have to make sure to enable it on group level. You can enable inverted geofence only on the group level. That means Geofences in a Group are always all inverted or all non-inverted.

After you have clicked the create button you can click anywhere on the map to generate the first point of your new Geofence.

When you are done creating all the points of the Geofence, you can click on the last point that you have added to save the Geofence.

To edit a existing Geofence you click the specific Geofence in the Map overview. You can grab existing red points or you can create new point (click on the small orange points) to expand a Geofence. If you want to move a Geofence you need to grab it in the middle of the Geofence. Each time you make an edit to the Geofence, you will get a notification popup that the Geofence is saved.

To delete a Geofence you click in the middle of the Geofence and click the Delete button.

With notification rules you can configure how and when somebody is notified when a Geofence Event is created.

Click Create Notification Rule.

Notify

In the Notify Field you can select Active Driver or you can fill out the email of a specific user that will receive a notification when one of the Geofences in the Geofence Group is triggered. If you selected an Active Driver then the User that has unlocked the vehicle will receive the notification.

Please note you can only configure one user per notification rule. That means if you want to send notifications to one or more users, you need to create a new notification rule for each user.

Push and Email Notification

You can choose to use in-app push notifications or email notifications or you can enable both at the same time.

Please note that in-app push notifications only work if the user has the Eco Planeta IQ app installed, the user is logged in and has notifications enabled on his phone for this specific the app.

On Entrance

If you enter the Geofence the notification gets triggered.

On Dwelling

If you want to send a notification after a certain amount of dwell time in one of the Geofences in the Geofence Group, you have to enable On Dwelling and fill out after how many seconds you want to send the notification.

On Dwelling Interval

If you want to send notifications based on a interval you have to enable On Dwelling Interval. If you fill out for example 300 seconds, every 5 minutes a notification will be send if the vehicle is in one of the Geofences in the Geofence Group.

On Exit

If you enable this condition, a notification gets send if you exit one of the Geofences in the group.

Enabled

You can disable or enable each specific Geofence in your Geofence Group.

Geofence Group > Geofence Events

Every time a Geofence Event is triggered you will see a new event in the Geofence Events Table.

You will also see the last user that had interaction with the vehicle before the Geofence Event was generated. This way you will know who is using the vehicle when a certain Geofence was breached.

Please note that Geofence Events are triggered independent of configured notification rules.
