⚙️Can clocking in be restricted by location in HRM Mobile?

The article informs about setting up a position register in HRM and restricting time clockings in HRM Mobile to these positions.

You can set up a position register under Settings > Time and Plan > Positions and per company, timegroup or employee specify that a correct position is required for clocking, as well as which positions are permitted. When clocking in HRM Mobile, the mobile device's position is checked. If you are not in a correct position, you will receive a message informing you of the positions you can use for time clocking.

Message in HRM Mobile: Invalid position for timestamp.

Note
The user must permit HRM Mobile to use the phone’s/device’s location services in order to clock when this function is being used.

 

Set Positions

Under Settings > Time and Plan > Positions you can create a register of positions. You can use the map pin on the map to mark the position, or enter an address in the map’s search box.

Set a time clock radius to capture time clockings near the position. Under Settings > Time and Plan > Time reports you set a standard value for the time clock radius, which is used if you do not specify a deviating value for a specific position.


Set permitted positions

You can per company, time group or employee specify that position must be checked when clocking, as well as which positions are permitted. Set per company under Settings > Time and Plan > Time reports, per time group under Settings > Time and Plan > Time groups, per employee under Employees > Time.
The most specific level applies. If you have specified in the company settings that a correct position is required, but for a time group stated that a position is not required, position will not be checked for employees belonging to that time group.

 

Tip
Positions can also be used for HRM Mobile to automatically select, for example, Project when you clock in or clock a change of account code. Read more in this article: Clock in HRM Mobile using position.
