Setting up Geofencing

- This feature only applies for clocking in and out from Zoho Shifts mobile app.
- Geofence distance will be based on the job site or schedule location associated with the scheduled shift.
- Ensure your employees have proper setting enabled for GPS location on their mobile device.
- To set up the Geofencing, you must have admin access or access level permission to configure settings in your Zoho Shifts account.
To setup the Geofencing for your organization:

- Use the toggle beside Allow employees to clock in/out from mobile app to enable or disable web time clock.

- Choose either Clock in or Clock in and out option from the drop-down.
- Enter the distance value in meters to limit the clocking range.
- Click Save button at the bottom
Once this is configured, employees cannot clock in/out beyond the distance range mentioned.
