Edit a previously created Geo-Fence

Hi All,

I've hunted through SOTI and a bit of googling and have come up blank.

How can I edit a geo-fence? Due to the nature of one of my sites, I need to increase the size of the geo-fence associated with this site.

Can I just adjust the geo-fence?

From what I can see I need to create another one, remove all links to the old one, and reassign to the new one. 

Luckily it isn't used in many profiles/rules but seems like there should be an easier way.

Hello, 

If you have on-premise server, you may edit the geofence directly in the database. (GeofenceVertex)

Restart services afterwards.

Hi Gary,

You are going to have to file a feature request to the Support team at SOTI for this one. I believe the reasoning was that Geofences are too simple to need to be edited. You will need to provide a decent use case on why you need this feature and it would be best to highlight the pain and suffering you feel when you cannot edit a Geofence.

Hello Gary,

In my experience, I found it easier to go into MobiControl and find a scanner, click on it and go to the Location tab. Once you locate the scanner and pull up the map, you can delete a previously created Geofence. Then create and redraw a new one. I found this is easier than going through the rules. Once you have the fence created it's easy enough to edit the rule and apply the newly drawn fence. 

Thank you,

Adam
