Understand the location
Review the worker’s available location alongside status and workgroup context when planning a response.
Location & geofences
Useful context. Protection that fits the place.
Give authorized people location context for the work and the response. Geofences support location-based monitoring rules, automatic check-ins and warnings around the places your team works.

Configure geofences for monitoring behavior, check-ins or area warnings according to your operating procedures.
Respect sharing choices
Routine workgroup location sharing follows settings and policy. Alert-time response context has a separate safety purpose.

Make locations meaningful
Use the places your team actually works: service facilities, client sites, remote work areas and other defined locations. Keep the operational map focused on the relevant area.
Automate routine steps
Geofence settings can support monitoring boundaries and automatic check-ins. The selected behavior depends on your configuration and the worker’s device permissions.
Separate sharing from response
Routine location sharing can be off while enabled, on-schedule safety response recipients still receive available location with an alert.
Check the device conditions
Location depends on device services, permissions and connectivity. Validate your chosen geofence behavior on the phones and sites used by your team.
Four geofence behaviors for different places
Life Check geofence
Entering a configured Life Check geofence switches the worker to a mode requiring regular manual check-ins.
Check-in geofence
Entering or leaving a check-in geofence updates the worker’s location independently of the automatic check-in schedule.
Danger geofence
Entering a danger geofence warns the worker and the Command Portal that the worker is in a designated dangerous area.
Stop Monitoring geofence
Entering a Stop Monitoring geofence pauses location tracking and monitoring, even during an active schedule. Use designated privacy areas such as a worker’s home or break zone, and validate the configuration with your team.
Questions about this workflow
Does the team always see everyone’s location?
Routine sharing is controlled by the applicable settings and policy. Available alert-time location is handled as incident context for eligible response recipients.
Can geofences support monitoring automation?
Yes. Configured geofences can support monitoring, check-ins and area warnings. We can test your intended setup with your team during the pilot.
Is location guaranteed?
No. Device settings, permissions, connectivity and the work environment affect availability. Validate your setup under the conditions in which it will be used.
