# Geofences in Pulse Fleet Tracking

> Draw virtual boundaries around job sites and offices to auto-log vehicle arrivals and departures, trigger alerts, and pull location history.

# Overview

Geofences let you set virtual boundaries around locations like job sites, customer addresses, or your office. When a vehicle enters or exits a geofence, it's automatically logged and you can set up alerts and run reports to see the full history.

# Creating a Geofence

## Step 1

Navigate to *Admin* > *Geofences* and click *Add Geofence*.

## Step 2

Enter a name and address for the geofence. You can use a street address or latitude/longitude coordinates.

## Step 3

Under *Track When*, select how the geofence should trigger:

* **Vehicle enters/exits a geofence**: Logs entry and exit events. Set the boundary as a circle or polygon.

* **Vehicle makes a stop at the geofence**: Logs when a vehicle stops at the location. Best for known addresses like home, office, or customer sites. Default radius is 50 meters.

## Step 5

Choose the category, icon, and when the geofence should be active. This can be 24/7 or Custom Hours to limit it to specific days and times.

# Running a Geofence Report

The Geofence Report shows entry/exit history for your vehicles, including timestamps and how long each vehicle spent inside a geofence.

## Step 1

Navigate to *Reports* > *Geofences*.

## Step 2

Use the date picker to select your reporting period. Date ranges must be 93 days or less. Then select the groups or vehicles and the geofences you want to include in the report.

## Step 3

Choose the Geofence you want to include in the report. Select which event types to include-

* Geofence Entry & Exit

* Geofence Entry Only

* Geofence Exit Only

* Geofence Exit and Entry

Optionally, set a minimum time spent in the Geofence to filter out brief stops.
