In this document learn what a location and allowed zone mean for geolocation-based attendance and worker access in Attendico. Geolocation in ATS Cloud defines permitted locations and map areas for supported location-verified attendance. A location can have several shapes and can be limited to selected workers.
What is this feature for?
The purpose is to verify a worker’s presence inside an approved zone when making an attendance event, not continuous worker tracking.
Prerequisites
- Geolocation feature enabled in the license.
- Know the real worksite and its geographical boundary.
- Create employees first if you plan to restrict access by worker.
Options and fields explained
- Name and Address
- Identify and position the site.
- Active
- Enables the location.
- Allow All Employees
- Allows all eligible workers; otherwise select employees.
- Rectangle / Circle / Polygon / Corridor
- Allowed geometry types on the map.
- GPS accuracy
- A separate verification requirement from zone boundaries.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open Geolocation and choose Add Location.
- Enter a name and optionally an address.
- Use the address search to position the map.
- Decide whether the location should be Active.
- Use Allow All Employees or select the permitted workers.
- Choose a map drawing tool and create at least one permitted area.
- Review the resulting geometry.
- Click Save and inspect the saved location.
Expected result
The location can be used by supported location-based attendance flows with its saved geometry and access rules.
Important notes
- A location cannot be saved without any zone.
