2 min. readlast update: 07.09.2026

Step 1. Create a Job in Smart Asset

Navigate to Lists on the main menu, then select "Jobs" in the center panel, and click on "New" in the top right hand corner of screen.  

On the General Tab, Fill in Job Name, StatusType, and select if the location is a Yard Job from the drop down box. We define a yard job as a location where your equipment is regularly stored.

Next navigate to the Location Tab and enter the address for the job.

Move to the Contact Info Tab, and enter the job contact info if applicable. 

Next, Click on Save Job 

Step 2. Create a Job Geofence

After the Job has been created, Navigate to Lists, Job Geofences, and Filter to "Missing" 

Select the job you just created from the list and click on "Get GPS".  Select the corrected address from the list.

By default, a red circular geofence will appear on the map after you select the address. 

Click on Re-draw Geofence if you would like to create a polygon and place connecting points on the map around your facility or job location. 

Tip* 

Click on the map view drop down on top left hand corner of map to switch between Map Views like Grayscale or Satellite and draw a 10 foot buffer around the geofence to minimize GPS drift interference.

After connecting all points on your geofence, a dialogue box will pop up letting you know the geofence is valid and does not overlap any other geofences. Click on Save. 

Step 3. Verify Job Geofence Has Been Created

If you are a dash camera and telematics user, verify the geofence has been created in both modules by clicking on the Dashcam & Telematics button.

Next click on Locations at the top of the menu and search for the geofence you just created to verify it pulls up.
