A geofence cluster is a group of geofences that are managed as a single entity. Geofences themselves are virtual perimeters for a real-world geographic area. When these geofences are grouped into clusters, it allows for more efficient management and application of policies across multiple locations.

You can use these clusters in sending Location-based mobile push messages.

Geofence Cluster

The main page is the listing of Geofence Clusters in the account.

1️⃣ Overview Geofence

• Name: The name of the geofence
• Status: The status of the geofence (Active or Inactive)
• Geofence: The number of users currently in the geofence
• Users Entered: The total number of users who have entered the geofence
• Campaign: The campaign associated with the geofence (if any)
• Created On: The date and time the geofence was created
• Created By: The name of the person who created the geofence
• Tracking: Shows if users are currently being tracked in the geofence

2️⃣ Search Bar: Enables users to search for specific content within the overview Geofence .

📘

Filtering by Geofence Name

The search bar filters the displayed items based on the name of the Geofence.

3️⃣ + New: Provides options for initiating a new Geofence creation process.

4️⃣ Filter : Allows users to filter the Geofence files based on various criteria

• Status: It allow us to tell the status of the entities we want to filter.
• Date Range: It allow us to filter according to the date and month.
• Clear Filter: It allow us to clear the filter any status or Date Range selected.
• Apply: There is a button allow us to apply filter according the above entities selected

How to create a geofence cluster

This section explains how to create a Geofence cluster. Please hit +New button on the main page.

1️⃣ General

• Cluster Name: This field allows you to enter a name for the geofence cluster
• Measure: This field allows you to choose the unit of measurement for the geofence cluster in form of.
  • km: Allow us to measure distance in kilometres.
  • mi: Allow us to measure distance in miles.

2️⃣ Tracking

• Start Date: This field allows you to choose the start date for the geofence. You can choose
  • Now: Allow us to select the present date.
  • Scheduled: Allow us to schedule some specific date of your choice.
• End Date: This field allows you to choose the end date for the geofence. You can choose
  • Never:Allow us to select the present date.
  • Scheduled:Allow us to schedule some specific ending date of your choice.

3️⃣ Geofences: This field allows you to search for and add geofence selection area of your choice to the cluster.

4️⃣ Next: User can proceed to next section to select area on the map.

🚧

Geofence Configuration Reminder

If you haven't added a geofence area for the corresponding cluster, you will be automatically redirected to the geofence section, regardless of whether you have completed other entities. This ensures that the necessary geofence area settings are configured properly for the cluster.

How to select an area for a geofence

This section explains how to select an area on the map for a geofence cluster.

1️⃣ Map Display:

• The map display shows the selected area on a map.
• Users can visually verify the area they have chosen and make adjustments as needed.
• The map interface allows users to zoom in and out and full screen view option for more precise area selection .

2️⃣ Search Bar: The search bar allows users to search for a specific location on the map.

3️⃣ Save: The save option allows users to confirm and save the selected area.

📘

Enable Save Option After Creating Geofence Cluster

The Save option will be enabled only after you have successfully created a geofence cluster. This ensures that you have defined the necessary boundaries and measurements before saving your settings. Once you have established the cluster, you can proceed to save the configuration for future use

How to associate distance with selected area

After selecting a specific area on the map, you can associate the following properties with the selected area

1️⃣ Name: Specify a name for the area you've selected.

2️⃣ Radius: The radius determines the extent of the area around the selected point.

🚧

Points To Remember

Additionally, you can establish more than one cluster within the selected area. This allows for better granularity and precise targeting, providing users with the ability to create complex geofencing areas with multiple distinct clusters.

Remember that the decision to use kilometers or miles for the distance measurement depends on the initial settings you have configured. Make sure your settings reflect your preferred units of measurement for an accurate representation of the selected area.

❗️

Cluster Distance

The minimum distance for a cluster is 0.05 km or miles, depending on the selected unit

The maximum distance for a cluster is 100 km or miles, depending on the selected unit

3️⃣ Add: Use the "Add" option to confirm the area and its associated properties. Please note you need to Save Geofence cluster.
