Map Default Filters

Default Filters for Maps
When logging into the Administrator Portal the below status bar will appear:

The filters are defaulted to the option that will allow you to see everyone at any time, if they are clocked in, clocked out or on break.

Notice the gear icon.  This will take you to the settings, allowing the default settings to be customized to your preferences when you sign in.

Click on the Gear, The status bar settings will appear and you may adjust them from the pull down menu.

Choose your settings and click SAVE

The default options will be changed to your custom settings and will remain set each time you log-in.

Clock-In Lock

Clock-In Lock

"Clock-in Lock" restricts the location where the employees can clock in. IF the employee is outside the expected job area, the job will not allow the employee to clock-in.

The task (job) must have an address or coordinates attached for this to work.  Next, click on "Create Customer SmartFence." (A default fence can also be created and applied for multiple jobs.  If you go this way, make sure to follow the next steps when setting up the Default fence first, then you can select Default on the SmartFence option within the task and click on Save to complete it.)

Name the rule as you see fit.  Use the Search option to find the address and set the radius to the desired size. Next, click on "Create New" in the RULES section.

Next, setup the Clock in "Lock rule and parameters".  Open the Trigger drop-down menu and select the option "Clock In Lock Within Area":

Next, click on "Lock Phone" if you want employees not to be able to punch in to the job unless they are inside the specified area.  Leave this option disabled will allow them to select the task, but you can always create an alert to be notified whenever this happens.  When this is ready, click on SAVE to go back.

You will notice that the "Rules" section will be populated with the rule you created in the previous step.  Click on "Add Existing" to apply the rule.

When the rule is successfully applied, you will see it listed below  under ID and Name

Next, we will cover how the "Clock-in Lock" feature works on the mobile device.  At the beginning of the day, you will be clocking in as normal, by seleting as task from the "Tasks List"

This time, these tasks will have the address and clock-in lock rules attached to them.  The device will use the current location and compare it to the expected location.  If outside the correct area, the clock in will not be accepted, if inside the clock in will be successful.

The device could take a little time to get the location, so a message could be sent with suggestions as to what to do to improve the GPS signal.  On the other hand, if you are outside of the expected area, you will get a message telling you that you are at the wrong location for the selected task, and the clock in or change task action will be unsuccessful.

If you have any questions please contact us.

Runtime Report

Runtime Report

Whenever employees enable or disable the GPS tracking on the phone settings, it will generate an entry in the GPS Runtime Report:

 

This report is incredibly useful because there can be times where for some reason the  GPS tracking is not ideal on one of the employees, or there are empty spots in-between the breadcrumb train.  You can generate this report and confirm if the GPS was enabled or disabled at that point during the day
