Geo Fencing
 


A Geo-fence is virtual geographic boundary. The easiest way to think of Geo-fence in is to imagine a circle drawn around your job sites on a map. As a matter of fact, putting a circle on a map is exactly how you add a Geo-fence in our solution.


By setting a Geo-fence around all your job sites, ClickTime alerts employees or contractors when they arrive, continuously monitors them during the shift and notifies managers if they leave the site while clocked in.


For Geo-fence time tracking, enter a street address for each site you define and a Geo-fence area is automatically created.  If desired, you can customize the Geo-fence area by moving the center point and changing the radius. When location is captured for the employee action (Clock in, Clock out), ClickTime Mobile will compare the location of the clocking with Geo-fence area for the job site. An email alert will be sent to manager notifying them of the geofence violation


To Setup the geofencing of the site follow the below steps:
  1. Fill-in the site data including the address of the site.
  2. The system will try to find the typed address and the coordinates automatically.
  3. Click on the view map button ensure and to view the entered address on google map.
  4. You have the option to change and customize the Geo-fence area by moving the center point and changing the radius by dragging the radius right and left.
  5. Once done, click on the keep changes button to keep any changes you made to the Geofencing details
  6. On the Sites screen, Click on the save button to save the site data.
