HOW TO
In ArcGIS Field Maps, the geofencing capability is used to detect when a moving object (such as a person or vehicle) has entered a defined area. It enhances spatial analysis by providing location-based alerts in real-time.
In the Field Maps mobile app, geofences are activated when a map is opened or a map area is created, where workers are prompted to enable location alerts or location sharing on the device. However, geofences are only active on current existing features as defined in the Geofences configuration in the Field Maps Designer web app. Follow the workflow below to activate geofences on newly created features in the ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app by disabling and re-enabling location alerts.
The location alerts are re-enabled and the geofences on newly created features are activated.
