the Circle, Polygon, or Route button. It is suggested that all geofences be in at least a

button.

be away from the route before a report is generated.

You may also choose to enter a short description  for your geofence.

device from the dropdown  menu to see what geofences are currently active. Click

 

on an Assigned Geofence to view and edit its configuration. Click the Remove link to

If you would prefer to receive alert notifications via text message, click on the + button 

and enter your phone information. Hit Save once you have finished configuring your 

alerts.
