When You Might Need This
Some job sites don’t have a traditional street address—like new construction zones, large lots, or remote work areas. In these cases, you can still track your team accurately by manually placing a geofence on the map.
How to Create a Geofence Without an Address
Open the Project
Log in at workyard.com, click on the Project Hub tab, and either select an existing project or click + New Project.Search a General Area
Use the search bar on the top left of the map to zoom in on a nearby landmark or intersection.You have two options to define your job site on the map:
Drop Pin → Creates a standard circular geofence around a single point
Draw Geofence → Allows you to create a custom polygon geofence by outlining the exact shape of the site
Use Drop Pin for small or simple locations, and Draw Geofence for larger or irregularly shaped job sites.
Once placed:
Drag points to resize or reshape the geofence
Right-click a point to remove it (for polygon geofences)
Click Save to apply it to the project
Common Use Cases
This method is perfect for:
New construction sites with no official address yet
Large or oddly shaped properties like campuses, warehouses, or job trailers
Remote fieldwork in undeveloped or rural locations
Outdoor work zones (e.g., parks, farms, or service routes)
Setting a geofence—even without an address—ensures:
Clock-in reminders
Project tagging suggestions
Smart time card alerts
Accurate GPS logging
