A guide on how to enable location based clock-in and out for organisations that use Attendance+
Please note this feature is only available for organisations who have both the Mobile App and Attendance+ licences.
What is this feature?
Location based clock in and out allows you to set a 'fence' around a duty station. Staff will only be able to clock in and out of a shift when they are within the fence that has been set. This allows you to ensure staff are at the location of their shift before they can clock in to the shift.
How can I enable this feature?
This feature can be enabled on a duty station basis. To enable this:
- Go to Rota > Rota Settings > Duty Station
- Edit the duty station you would like to enable this feature for
- Tick 'Allow clock in when [X] metres away from Duty Station'
- Add the distance to the setting (please note this value must be between 1 and 10,000 metres)
- Ensure the duty station has a location set by setting Longitude and Latitude values
- Press Save
Any shift with that duty station will now have this feature enabled. This means that staff will not be able to clock in or out of shifts at this duty station until they are within the correct distance of the duty station.
Please note: Users will be asked by the app to enable location services. Any users who do not enable this will not be able to clock in or out of their shifts.
