Geofencing in Clue: Draw Site Boundaries, Auto-Assign Assets & Alerts | Clue Thursdays

This 41-minute session shows how geofences work in Clue, from drawing a boundary around a yard or a job site to the alert that fires when a machine leaves it after hours. Gunther Reyscher, Product Manager at Clue, leads the walkthrough. Jen Risch co-hosts and brings in audience questions. Madeline Sherry opens the session.
