Location settings

The Location Settings page is where you can enable location data collection and define how often data is collected. To access Location settings, open the Location dashboard, click the menu button (three vertical dots) near the top left corner of the page, then click Settings.

If you enable indoor or outdoor location tracking in the console, the device user still needs to enable Google runtime permission for location on their device before location data can be collected. The Knox Asset Intelligence agent disables location tracking on the device by default.

You can send a notification to access the device’s location permissions by going to the Devices page, then selecting one or more devices and clicking ACTIONS > Send permissions notification. Once the device user receives the notification and enables location permissions, you can start collecting location data.

All location-enabled devices periodically send their location data to the Knox Asset Intelligence server at fixed intervals:

• For Outdoor location tracking, data is sent in hour and minute intervals. Enter a value between 0-24 hours and 0-59 minutes. Default value is 5 minutes. Minimum value is 1 minute.
• For Indoor location tracking, data is sent in minute and second intervals. It is recommended that you enter a minimum value of 15 seconds, as a shorter time period consumes more battery power on the device. Default and minimum value is 15 seconds.
