Field

Description

ID

Geofencing ID that is auto-assigned.

Type

Driver
Customer
Order Type
Business Unit
Global

Type ID

ID number for the corresponding "Type". Not available if the "Type" is set to "Global".

Type Name

Name associated with type and ID.

Geofence Radius (miles)

Distance in miles allowed before geofencing alerts and status codes are enabled. Fractions of miles are accepted values (0.5, 0.25, etc.).

Cached GPS Grace Time (Minutes)

Grace time in minutes that GPS data will be cached. The default value is 0. Max time allowed is 60 minutes. See How to Set Up a GPS Grace Time for Nextstop 2 or How to Set Up a GPS Grace Time for Nextstop 3.

Info
Requires X Dispatch 18.1 or newer.

Priority

Priority level when there are overlapping criteria. If 2 priority values are the same, the lowest "Geofence Radius (miles)" value will be used.

Example: Different Priority

A driver is picking up an order for a customer, and two different Geofencing configurations apply. The applicable settings differ in "Geofence Radius (miles)" and "Priority". Since the driver has "Priority" set to 1 and the customer a "Priority" of 2, the "Geofence Radius (miles)" set for the driver will be used.

Example: Same Priority

A driver is picking up an order for a customer and multiple different Geofencing settings apply, with differing "Geofence Radius (miles)" and the same "Priority" level. Since the driver "Geofence Radius (miles)" is set to "1" and the customer has it set to "5", the "Geofence Radius (miles)" set for the driver will be used.

How to Add a New Geofencing Rule

Info

title	For X Dispatch 19.2 or Older

Before you can use using geofencing, you must create a new status code in X Dispatch with the description "Outside Geofence" and enable the status for the customers who will be using this feature. If the "Outside Geofence" status code is not created, there will be no record that the driver was outside the geofence radius.
