Introduction

This guide will help you confirm if the Verification Alert is valid. First, please check the permitted geofence radius set in your company. See link: https://support.justlogin.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033525651-Configuration-Geofencing-Setuphttps://support.justlogin.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033178432-How-to-set-up-Geofencing-

In this scenario, let us take the geofence radius is set to 150 meters only.

In this case: 1.42799081,103.836199

Step 11: Go back to the tab or browser in Step 6, input the coordinates in Step 10 at Point #2.

It will show the total distance. In this scenario, the distance is 3km, and it's beyond 150m, therefore the alert is valid.
