Create a Location alert rule

A Location alert rule triggers an alert when an asset enters or exits a location you choose. Use it to recover assets that leave a designated area or to flag assets arriving where they shouldn't.

Before you begin

  • You are assigned the Asset Tracker Administrator role.
  • The assets or asset types you want to monitor exist in Asset Tracker.
  • The locations you want to monitor are mapped in Smart Location.

Create the rule

  1. From your Kontakt.io Launchpad, select Asset Tracker.
  2. Go to Settings > Alert Rules.
  3. Select Create Alert Rule, then select Location Alerts.
  4. On Step 1 General, enter a Name and select a Severity. The rule is active by default; to save it without triggering alerts yet, clear Activate Alert Rule.
  5. On Step 2 Applies To, select the specific assets or asset types the rule monitors.
  6. On Step 3 Condition, select whether the rule triggers when assets enter or exit, then choose the locations (campus, building, or floor).
  7. On Step 4 Actions, select who is notified and how—email, SMS text, or Webhook.
  8. On Step 5 Summary, review the settings and select Save.

Result

The rule appears in Settings > Alert Rules. While it is active, an alert triggers and notifies your chosen recipients whenever a monitored asset enters or exits the locations you set. To pause or change it later, see Manage Alert Rules.
