Zones

Introduction

Zones are polygons (or polylines) that define a specific geographic location on the map. When Assets enter or exit Zones, Events are created that can be used to trigger Alerts. A zone can have a proximity warning, which is a circular area around the zone. Events are also created for an Asset entering and exiting the proximity of a zone, which can also be used to create Alerts.

Zones can also be used to set speed limits for certain geographic areas. 

There are three types of zones in the platform, as described below:

Zone Type	Color	Overview
Location	Blue	The name of the Location appears in the telemetry, and overwrites the address where the Asset is.
No Go	Red	The normal street address appears in the telemetry.
Keep In	Green	The normal street address appears in the telemetry.

Users are able to view the Zones in a Client, whether in Zone Groups or not, and create new Zones from the Administration section.
