Office Locations

Configure office locations for geofence-based attendance verification.

What Are Office Locations?

Office locations define the physical boundaries where employees can check in. When geofencing is enabled, the system verifies that an employee is within an approved location before accepting their check-in.

Viewing Locations

1. Go to Administration → Office Locations
2. See all configured locations with coordinates and radius

Adding a Location

1. Click Add Location
2. Configure the location:

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	Location name (e.g., "Main Office")
Address	No	Street address for reference
Latitude	Yes	GPS latitude coordinate
Longitude	Yes	GPS longitude coordinate
Radius	Yes	Geofence radius in meters (e.g., 200)
Active	Yes	Enable/disable this location

3. Click Save

Setting Coordinates

Using the Map

If available, click on the interactive map to set the location pin. The latitude and longitude fill automatically.

Manual Entry

Enter GPS coordinates directly. You can find coordinates by:

1. Opening Google Maps
2. Right-clicking the location
3. Copying the coordinates (e.g., 25.276987, 55.296249)

Radius Guidelines

Scenario	Suggested Radius
Single building	100–200 meters
Office campus	300–500 meters
Industrial zone	500–1000 meters
Remote/field work	1000+ meters

tip

Start with a larger radius and reduce it once you've confirmed GPS accuracy for your area. Building materials and urban environments can affect GPS precision.

How Geofencing Works

1. Employee opens the mobile app and taps Check In
2. App reads the device's GPS location
3. System calculates distance from the nearest configured office location
4. If within the radius → Check-in accepted
5. If outside all locations → Check-in denied or flagged (depending on configuration)

Multiple Locations

Organizations with multiple offices can add all locations. An employee's check-in is validated against any active location — they don't need to be assigned to a specific one.

Editing & Deleting

• Edit — Update name, coordinates, or radius at any time
• Delete — Remove a location (historical check-in records are preserved)
