Pedigree Technologies is excited to announce the release of polygon landmarks/geo-fences. If you are not familiar with landmarks/geofences, they are virtual perimeters around a specific location. The locations you landmark/ geo-fence could be customer sites, secure areas, or any location you would like to have identified on a report or by an alarm. Previously, OneView supported radius landmarks only that you could fit to the size needed around the specific location. Some customers found radius landmarks to cover more area than they wanted. With this release of polygon landmarks/geofences, you are able to create your own virtual perimeter around the location. All you need to do is click to draw the desired perimeter.
Adding a Landmark/Geofence:
- Click on the Flagpole in the upper left corner of OneView.
- Click on the drop-down arrow and then select Create Landmark.
- Follow the steps below for setting up the landmark. Once you have all the fields filled in you can switch the map to hybrid in the upper right corner and verify the location is correct.
