Default access permissions
Allow check-ins and check-outs from:
Select the options through which you want your employees to be able to check-in and check-out
(Web, Mobile, or both).
Zoho People captures location data from browsers for web-based check-ins. However, if the browser's location data is altered by users, the actual location data captured during check-in and check-out may become inaccurate. To ensure accurate location tracking, it is recommended to use the Zoho People mobile app, as it provides more reliable location data through the device's GPS.
Make location sharing mandatory during check-in and check-out:
Enabling this option allows employees to check-in or check-out only after they allow access to their location (Web, Mobile, or both).
Regarding location tracking in web:
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is below 1000 meters, the location shown is based on the available longitude and latitude.
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is between 1000 and 3000 meters, the location shown is based on the available latitude and longitude, along with the current accuracy level.
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is above 3000 meters, the location shown is based on the IP address, along with the current accuracy level.
> When a location couldn't be captured, the location shown is based on IP address.
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is below 1000 meters, the location shown is based on the available longitude and latitude.
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is between 1000 and 3000 meters, the location shown is based on the available latitude and longitude, along with the current accuracy level.
> When the accuracy returned by the browser is above 3000 meters, the location shown is based on the IP address, along with the current accuracy level.
> When a location couldn't be captured, the location shown is based on IP address.

Facial recognition
The facial recognition feature in Zoho People is used to capture user images to validate user identity and confirm employee presence. The image captured will be automatically face-matched with the already-stored Zoho People profile photo using AI before a check-in or check-out action is performed.

Check-in and Check-out time predictions
This feature displays each employee's predicted check-in and check-out times based on their work shifts.
