Users can set projects as 'GPS Enabled' when they are adding the project. This guide will describe how to enable the GPS clock in feature for existing projects that do not have the option currently switched on.
Step 1: Select the project on the Projects Page
Navigate to the Projects Page.
Search for the specific project and select it on the left hand sidebar.
Step 2: Access the GPS Sign In Settings
Open the project's 'Sign In Options' via the header area.
In the Sign In Options, select 'GPS Sign In'
Step 3: Enable GPS Sign In/Out
In the GPS Sign In settings window, select the 'Enable GPS Sign In/Out ' checkbox
Double check that your are satisfied with the Sign In Radius. This is the number of meters the staff members need to be from the designated sign in location to be able to set themselves as onsite or offsite.
Double check the Sign In Location. This will automatically be set to the project's location, but if the coordinates are not found correctly by the venue name, you may update the location by inputting a full address or post code.
Step 4: Click Save
Once you've enabled GPS Sign In, staff will have the option to set themselves as onsite or offsite on the day of each shift.
FAQ
Can staff clock in on any device?
GPS clock in should work with the uTRAC app on Android and iOS as well as via the app.utrac.online/staff website. Staff should ensure they have location permissions enabled to be able to clock in and out of shifts.
How do I ensure I set the exact clock in location?
uTRAC uses Google's geocode API to approximate the coordinates based on the location of your project. To generate more accurate coordinates, be sure to input the full venue address including the post code. You can preview exact coordinates returned by Google by testing via their Geocoding Demo.
Do staff need to do anything other than installing the app for this to work?
Staff will need to ensure that they have enabled location tracking for the uTRAC app or website to be able to clock-in. Additionally, some Android devices have additional permissions to enable precise location tracking and will only allow access to the staff's approximate location as default.
