Check-in Radius, as the name says. It is the designated area where the employees will be able to do their check-ins. On the other hand, Geo-Fencing is the area where the employees can work/be while the duty. If the employee is going out of the area where the Geo-fencing ends, they will be notified that they have to come back to avoid a violation of the Geo-Fencing zone.
Check-in Radius:
- To configure it, click on the "Clients" tab, go to "Clients List", then filter or locate the client you want to in the list of clients.
- Once you are on the client´s profile, under the "General" tab, scroll down until you see the section "Post Location" and click the button to edit the information of the section.
- Locate the "Set Check-in Radius" and click the check box to enable it. This will add a section for you to select the miles and indicate the miles you desire.
- To confirm the miles and area you selected, click the "Map" button.
Geo-fence:
- In the same section of the Check-in Radius, you will see the option "Set Geo-Fence", enable it, and set the miles, which need to be wider than the miles for the Check-in Radius.
- To save the changes you have made for both areas, scroll down and click the button "Update".
