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.

How to create a geofence cluster
This section explains how to create a Geofence cluster. Please hit +New button on the main page.
Create a new Geofence cluster
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.
Geofence selection on the map
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
A Geofence cluster may have more than one Geofence area
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.
