Geo Fence

The Geo Fence feature establishes a virtual boundary around a specific geographical location. Administrators can set up tasks to be executed on devices when users either enter or exit this defined geographical area.

Geo Fence requires GPS capability on the device.

To create a Geo Fence job and deploy it to the enrolled device(s) or group(s) remotely, follow these steps:
