When you Slide to Check in, you may have a geofence at your site location. This means that you will need to be inside of the geofence radius to check in.

You can click Map to view your position in relation to the geofence radius. The location placemark will show as grey.

If you're within the geofence radius, your placemark will show in green. As can be seen on the image below.

If you're not within your geofence radius, your placemark will show in red.

Location accuracy insufficient

If you're location accuracy is insufficient, then you'll have two options based on the way your account has been setup by your supervisor:

  • You'll not be able to check in.

  • You'll be able to check in by accepting a statement that your supervisor has given you permission to do so.

Let's look at how the two options will display.

Cannot check in because the device is not within the geofence:

Can check in even though device is not within geofence, based on supervisor giving authorization:

If you aren't receiving your GPS location on the Map, you may need to check your Location Services.

Enabling Location Services on mobile phone

Your phone's Location Services must be enabled for GPS location to be tracked. If you do not know how to enable this, then you must consult with your phone service provider, phone manufacturer or ask a member of your team to help.

See example below (from Apple iPhone).
