Geofence containment
Geofence containment triggers when a device is outside all of its allowed locations during specified hours.
How it works
You define a list of allowed locations and an optional time window. If a device is not inside any of the allowed locations during that window, the rule triggers.
This is different from a geofence exit rule — containment checks whether the device is in any of a set of locations, not just one.

Example: work hours containment
Ensure company vehicles stay within approved sites during business hours:
- Allowed locations:
zone_site_a,zone_site_b,zone_headquarters - Check hours: 09:00–17:00

The rule only triggers during working hours. Outside those hours, devices can be anywhere.
