Configure GPS clocking for a workplace

Configure on-site clocking via GPS to record certified clockings with your smartphone

Written by Fulvia Chesi

GPS clocking allows users to record certified clock-ins by using their smartphone's location to confirm they are working at an authorized site.

💡 By default, the GPS clocking mode is already enabled for all new locations, with a set radius of 500 meters.

Configure on-site clocking via GPS

Before getting started check that:

  • You have an Administrator profile or a Power User profile.

  • You have created the workplace for which you want to enable clocking via GPS.

To configure on-site clocking via GPS:

  1. Go to Company > Organization > Workplaces.

  2. Select the workplace for which you would like to enable clocking via GPS.

  3. Make sure the address for this location is accurate and includes the street number to ensure correct geolocation. If necessary, edit it.

  4. Scroll down to the clocking section and tick the Enable box under GPS.

  5. Choose the size of the area you wish to enable.
    💡 The size of the enabled area can be 200, 500 or 2000 meters and represents the maximum distance from the address of the workplace within which a person is authorized to record clockings with their smartphone.

On-site clocking via GPS has been enabled. It is now possible to detect the clockings of users working from this location, who are authorized to use their "Smartphone" as their clocking method.

💡 If you want a user to record a certified clocking via GPS even when working from home or places other than the office, you can set up personal areas in their user settings.

Edit the clock-in radius

To change the radius within which a certified GPS clock-in can be recorded:

  1. Go to Company > Organization > Workplaces.

  2. Select the workplace where you want to change the clocking radius.

  3. In the Radius of the area section, select Small (200 m), Medium (500 m), or Large (2000 m).

Your changes have been saved.
