Unknown location

Unknown location triggers when a device has been at an unregistered location — outside all known zones — for a specified duration.

How it works

The system checks whether a device is inside any registered zone (network or coordinate) for the workspace. If the device is outside all of them for longer than the threshold, the rule triggers. The violation clears when the device enters any known location.

This catches equipment left at unregistered customer sites, devices that have been moved to unexpected locations, or assets that may have been stolen.

Parameters
