Geolocation Restrictions for the Mobile App

Geolocation restrictions used with the uAttend Smartphone application is a powerful tool. When configured it will only allow punches from the application to occur within a given range of the addresses listed here, great for use on job sites and out in the field. To assign a geolocation restriction to an employee, you will need to add the address to the Geo-Locations section in the Settings tab.

Notes:

• Only the account administrator(s) can access the Settings tab.
