Overview

Configure your site’s address, geofence, and site information documents so contractors see the right details in the Forsite App and during inductions.

1) Set the site address

Purpose: establishes the official location used across maps and centres your geofence setup.

1. Go to Sites → [select site] → Settings.
2. Enter the full address (street, city, postcode, country).
3. Save your changes.

Tip: If you adjust the address later, re-check your geofence so it still fits the property.

2) Draw the geofence (circle)

Purpose: defines the on-site boundary used for detection, check-in behaviour, and dashboard timelines.

1. In Settings, open Geofence.
2. Search for the address (Google Maps). The centre point snaps to that location.
3. Fine-tune the centre point: click to move it so the circle covers the property.
4. Adjust the radius until the perimeter fits the site.
   • Use at least a 50 m radius to allow for GPS accuracy.
   • Widen slightly if entrances are near the edge of the boundary.
5. Save (or Close to discard).

3) Upload site information documents

Purpose: makes critical site documents available in inductions and in the Forsite App to all contractors assigned to the site.

1. Go to Sites → [select site] → Documents → Site Information.
2. Upload relevant documents, for example:
   • Site Plans, Evacuation Plans
   • Asbestos / Hazardous Material Registers
   • Hazard & Risk Registers
   • WHS Plans
3. Save when finished.

These documents pull through to the site’s induction and are available at all times to contractors assigned to the site.

Permissions

Purpose: who is allowed to configure sites.
You must have Manage permission for Sites to edit Settings, Geofence, and Site Information.

Troubleshooting

Purpose: quick fixes for common configuration issues.

• Can’t edit Settings/Geofence/Documents → You likely don’t have Manage permission for Sites. Contact your company admin.
• Geofence doesn’t fit the property → Move the centre point and increase the radius (keep ≥ 50 m).
• Map shows the wrong place → Re-search the address, then nudge the centre point manually.
• Documents not showing in inductions/app → Confirm they’re uploaded to Documents → Site Information for the correct site, then Save.
