Zones

A Zone is a user-defined area on a map which can produce logging and/or Alerts when Assets enter and/or exit the boundaries of the Zone.

Members can use these Zones to mark areas for tracking the movement, entry, and exit of Assets from these Zones, and to deliver updates/Alerts when the Zone perimeters are breached.

Clicking on the Zones section of the Navigation Bar will open a window listing all Zones on your account.
