Places versus Zones

Places are geofences shown as circles on the map that can operate from 25m/82ft to 300m/984ft.

Zones are highlighted areas shown as polygons on the map that can be custom sized to cover larger, more irregular areas.

Both Places and Zones support location-based events, such as automatic check-ins/check-outs and alerts, when team members enter or leave a defined area.

Places and Zones in Dispatch

In Dispatch, when creating a Job, you can add a saved Place as the Job address. This is useful for Jobs that occur at a location your team members visit frequently.

To highlight an area on the assigned Worker’s map in the mobile app and trigger check-ins or alerts when they enter or leave it, open the Job and go to Attachments. In Linked Zones, add the Zone.
