  • Click New to create a new attendance group.

  1. Set the attendance locations in two ways.
  • Add locations one by one.
  1. Click Add attendance location, select or search for a place on the map that pops out, and select a range by clicking the drop-down menu next to the search box.
  • You can specify a valid range from 100 m to 3,000 m.
  • Note:
  • In the upper-right corner of the current map, you can switch to other map providers. We recommend that you use Google Maps.
  • If you enable the offsite attendance feature, members can clock in or clock out in offsite mode when they are beyond the valid ranges of attendance locations.

III. FAQs
If I delete an attendance location, will it impact the related records in the past?
No.
Why does the import of attendance locations with Excel fail?
When importing attendance locations through Excel files, you must provide valid latitude and longitude coordinates. If the coordinates are incorrect, you will receive an error message indicating that either the longitude or latitude field is invalid, which will prevent the import from succeeding.
The valid ranges for coordinates are:
  • Longitude: Valid range is from -180 to 180.
  • Latitude: Valid range is from -90 to 90.
