Geofence can be associated with the organization, cluster, or group based on the preference of the user.

Furthermore, the solution allows external files with multiple Geofences to be uploaded into the system.

The choice of classes is crucial when creating a location events, since there must be a correlation between the class chosen while creating the geofence and the class chosen when creating the event.
