The Area settings page lets you add geofences or iBeacons for use in the Workspace ONE UEM console.
Configure geofence area settings by navigating to Groups & Settings > All Settings > Devices & Users > Advanced > Area.
What can you do with the Workspace ONE UEM Area settings page?
You can define your device profile with a geofence area, which limits the use of the device to specific geographical areas including corporate offices, school buildings, and retail department stores. You can think of a geofence area as a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area.
For example, a geofence area with a 1-kilometer radius can apply to your office, while a much larger geofence area can apply approximately to an entire state. Once you have defined a geofence area you can apply it to profiles, SDK applications, and Workspace ONE UEM apps.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Area Name | Enter a name that represents your defined geofence in the listing. |
| Address | Enter a street address that serves as the epicenter of the geofence. Select the Click to Search button to send the entered address as a search parameter to Bing maps. If the search is successful, the correct address appears in the map displayed under the button. |
| Radius | Enter how large you want the geofence to be. You can select kilometers or miles. The default radius is 1 kilometer. |
| Map (dynamic image) | You can select between three different views: Road (standard road map), Aerial (photorealistic view), and Bird's Eye (a three-dimensional modelled view). Select the Locate Me button to send your current location to the Bing map. You might be asked by your browser to approve/confirm sending the location. You can zoom the map's view in and out using the Plus and Minus icons. |
