Ports can be defined through geo-fences. Port geofences can be used for multiple things: a) Tracking distance of boats to their home ports b) Tracking traffic entering and exiting ports c) Getting alerts when specific boats enter or leave the port

Step 1:

With the 'Fisheries' application selected through the App switcher, select the 'Settings' tab on the menu

Step 2:

Click on '+ Geofence' button on the top right section 

Step 3:

1. Provide a name for the geo-fence

2. Choose 'Port' category from the drop down

For help with creating a other types of geofences, refer to this article: 'How to Create a geo-fence'

5. Draw the perimeter for the geo-fence by choosing  'circular' option

Pan & zoom-in to the area of interest on the map.

Click on the 'scale' icon on the tool set on the right side of the map. This enables location coordinates and distance measurements on the map. 

Use your cursor to click and mark the centre for the circular perimeter on the map. Dragging between clicks allows you to expand the circle for the required radius. 

Tip: You can use the search bar on the top left corner of the map, to identify the location by typing in the partial/complete address

Once the you are satisfied, clicking on 'Save' button on the top right saves the perimeter definition.
