  2. Now, log in to workyard.com on your computer. Go to Projects Hub and click on the + Project button and select Add Project

  3. On the Add Project form, fill out all the necessary details. Under Project Location paste in the GPS coordinates. A drop down will appear with a result click on the drop down result to select the location. Please note the gps coordinates must be in formatted in decimal degrees as shown below.

  4. Once you have selected the GPS coordinate result, you'll be required to enter a friendly name and click add to finalize the selection of the geofence.

  5. Finally, review the details you've added on the project and click Add Project to finalize the creation of the project and geofence
