Set up Geofence and Site Access and Threshold

The 'Site Location' screen shows the construction site on a map. Project managers can set up a geofence around the site and define the site access.  

• The geofence defines the boundary within which your crew members should be present during their working hours.
• The digital timecard records accept in-time entries and the other time card entries made by the crew members only if they are within the geofence.
• Set up the site threshold to allow temporary movement outside the geofence. If a worker is away from the geofence for more than a specified threshold period, he/she will be clocked out.
• If no site threshold time is configured and the worker is away from the geofence for more than 5 minutes, he/she will be clocked out. The worker should clock in again to start his time card entries. 
• The site access defines the entry/egress points of the site for crew/equipment entry, material deliveries, etc. 
• The plus code and the site coordinates are created for the site based on the site's access location.
