How It Works

This setting allows you to have them automatically clocked in, send reminders for them to clock in, or it can be disabled. If you plan to use either of the first two options, your Location Tracking will need to be on continuous.

Automatically clock in:

This setting will automatically clock the member in when they are detected entering a project geofence.

Send mobile notification:

This setting will send a push notification to remind the member to clock in when they enter a project geofence. The member must have the notifications for the app enabled for this to work for them.

Disabled:

This setting means that all members of this group will need to clock in manually without any reminders.

FAQs

Do I get auto clocked in if I spend a short time at a geofence?

If this rule is switched on and you enter a geofence our app will only keep you clocked in if you stay within the geofence for over 5 minutes else the associated time card based on auto clock in might be deleted on its own.

Does this rule work if there is no internet connection?

No. In order to be auto clocked in the phone will require an active internet connection. If there is no internet connection the team member will be required to manually clock in.

When does the auto clock in alert appear?

The auto clock in alert will be displayed when a time card has been auto clocked in and the start time has not been changed. If the start time of the time card is changed, then the auto clock in alert is removed.
