In fleet management, geofences are essential for enforcing location-based policies, ensuring regulatory compliance, monitoring vehicle activity, and optimizing route planning. By using geofences, companies can enhance operational visibility, improve safety, and streamline logistics.

Geofences List

The geofences list displays all the geofences created within the system, organized in a table format for easy reference and management. Each row in the table represents a geofence and includes the following details:

• :hashtag:: The serial number of the geofence in the list.
• :multi-select:: Allows you to select multiple markers at once using checkboxes for bulk actions, such as deleting or editing several markers simultaneously.
• :eyee:: Controls the visibility of geofences on the map through toggle buttons
• Name: The custom name given to the geofence.
• Type: The shape of the geofence, represented by an icon:
  • ● Circle
  • ⬡ Polygon
  • ∿ Line
• Geofence Group: The group to which the geofence is assigned, helping organize geofences logically.
• Code: An optional code used for quick identification or integration.
• Actions:
  • :extra: Extra
    • Assign / Unassign users to a geofence.
  • :edit: Edit
    • Modify a geofence
  • :copy: Copy
    • Copy a geofence
  • :delete: Delete
    • Remove a geofence from the list
  • :ugeo: Geofence Units
    • Reveal the total number of units currently located within a geofence.

Use this list to view, manage, and maintain your geofence database efficiently. Filters and sorting options are available for most columns to streamline navigation.
