| ||||||
| Pinpoint GPS is a new feature of TimeWorks Mobile that allows the client to track where employees clocked in and out. To enable this for a client: 1. Go to the Accountant Menu 2. Click on Client Configuration 3. Go to the Mobile tab 4. Click the check box to "Enable Pinpoint GPS location collection for mobile punches" 5. To view the Pinpoint GPS information on the time card on the website, go to Time Card Options drop down list and select "Show Mobile App Details". This will then create a field in Employee Setup labeled: "Add GPS to Mobile Punch (If Available)" where each employee can be either setup to collect GPS information or not. TimeWorks Mobile Pinpoint GPS captures the location of where an employee is when they clock IN/OUT. There are two views provided: 1) a map with pinpoints, and 2) the address with nearest location. Before using the Pinpoint GPS feature you will need to accept the permissions to allow Pinpoint GPS to activate the location services on your mobile device. Step 1. In the “Employee Setup” field “Add GPS to Mobile Punch (If Available)” will need to be set to “Yes” this will enable you to view Pinpoint GPS data on mobile punches. Note: As with any cellular service there may be instances when a mobile user may be without a cellular data signal and in this instance data would not be available. Also, if the user turns off the “location services” setting on their iPhone, iPad or Android device the Pinpoint GPS wouldn’t be able to collect their punch location data. Step 2. From the dashboard page on your mobile device tap on “View/Modify Time Cards.” Step 3. Tap on an employee’s name to view the time card. Pinpoint GPS only applies to punches made with the TimeWorks Mobile app. On the time card the red pin icon (looks like an upside down rain drop) indicates the time punch was made from a mobile device. If the icon appears with a slash through it this means that Pinpoint GPS was unable to capture the location data, hence the location data is not available. Step 4. Tap on the time punch to view the Pinpoint GPS coordinates. The map displays detailed information regarding the address, date, accuracy of location, and GPS coordinates. To view more of the map tap on the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons. Step 5. To exit the Pinpoint GPS map tap on the (X) button located in the top right corner. Note: You may also tap on the “Map” button located in the top right corner to access the Pinpoint GPS map. | |
