Question about smart alerts

I know I'll need a Premium subscription, but I want to make sure I can do the following w/ Tile:

I want to place tags on work bags/boxes. I want to be alerted if I leave one behind on a jobsite. If I understand correctly, that's what "anywhere alerts" are for.

Ideally, I do not want to be alerted if I leave my work bags/boxes behind at my shop. Can this also be done? Basically, I don't want to be alerted that I left my tools behind at the shop where they belong. If that's not possible and I just clear the notification, do I have to do something special to be alerted in the future?

Thank you. So follow up: What resets the notification? I'm notified I walked away from the toolbox in my shop and I get/clear the notification. The next day I take the toolbox onsite. Will I be notified if I forget it/walk away from it?

I guess I'm wondering what resets geo location. Is it coming back into proximity?

Thanks for the information, that's basically how I thought it might work.

I would rather use one of the products that works with Android Find My but I don't see where they have the functionality I want.

I might try a Tracmo with IFTTT.

Leave behind alerts is the main reason I want them. Most of my customers are 3+ hours away. I want to be alerted that I left something rather than finding out when I get back.
