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. For each method, add recipients as individual email addresses or phone numbers, or select Users and User groups. See About Alert Rules actions and notification recipients.
  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.
