[Geofence v1] How to use the BizGo!Geofence app

To use the Geofence service, after installing the BizGo!Geofence app distributed from the MDM, you must operate the BizGo!Geofence app in the following two cases. This page describes the steps for each operation.
This assumes that a policy has already been assigned to the device.

  • During initial setup
    To use BizGo!Geofence, the location setting of the BizGo!Geofence app must be set to "Always." As initial setup, launch BizGo!Geofence once, and then change the location setting from the Settings app.
  • When the inside template is not applied while inside a geofence (when the policy action is set to "Assign template")
    Geofence enter and exit events are triggered by an OS function, but if an Enter event is not triggered correctly, the inside template is not applied even though you are inside the geofence. In such a case, launch the BizGo!Geofence app and manually send the current location to the server. If the server confirms that the sent location is inside the geofence, the inside template is applied.

Due to OS specifications, enter and exit detection for geofences may not work properly or may be less accurate under certain conditions. To use the Geofence feature, make sure the device settings meet the following conditions.

  1. The device is connected to the internet.
  2. Wi-Fi is turned ON (the device does not need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network).
  3. The location setting of the BizGo!Geofence app is set to "Always."
danger

The geofence (area) information assigned to a policy is applied to the device as a target for enter and exit detection when the BizGo! Air app is launched.
If you change the geofence (area) assignment (add, delete, or update) after the first launch of the BizGo! Air app, you must restart the BizGo! Air app to apply the change.

Perform the initial setup​

  1. Open the "BizGo!Geofence" app.
  1. On the location permission screen, tap "Allow While Using App."
  1. On the notification permission screen, tap "Allow."
  1. Return to the Home Screen once, and open the Settings app.
  1. Tap [Privacy] -> [Location Services].
  1. Confirm that Location Services is ON, and tap BizGo!Geofence.
  1. Tap "Always."

Check the location manually​

If the outside template is applied even though you are inside the geofence, send your location to the server by following the steps below.
If the sent location is inside the geofence, the device switches to the inside template.

  1. Open the "BizGo!Geofence" app.
  1. On the map, confirm that your current location is inside a green circle.
    The circles displayed in green on the map are the circles that are active as targets for enter and exit detection.
  1. Tap the "Check location" button.
  1. When the spinner stops spinning, the location has been sent.
 
  1. Return to the Home Screen and confirm that the inside template is applied.
    Note: The time until the template switch is complete varies depending on the device's network conditions and the differences between the inside and outside templates.
