How do I set up location tracking for working hours?

TimeStatement can capture the current location during work time tracking and project time tracking. When location tracking is enabled, the employee's current location is saved automatically with every new time entry.

Enabling location tracking

To enable location tracking, go to:

Management > Settings > Features

Enable one or both of the following options as needed:

• Enable worktime location tracking for all users
• Enable project location tracking for all users

Then save the changes.

You can now enable location tracking for individual users. To do this, go to:

Management > Users

Select the user and enable one or both of the following options as needed:

• Capture location for worktime entries
• Capture location for project entries

Then save the changes.

Recording time with location

Once location tracking is enabled for an employee, the mobile app or the browser asks for location access permission the first time they record time. The employee must allow location access so that TimeStatement can capture the current location.

Once the permission has been granted, the current location is saved automatically with every new time entry. Location tracking works for both checked-in and manually entered time entries.

Viewing the location of a time entry

Admins and supervisors can view the saved location of a time entry directly in the entry details. To do this:

1. Open Timesheets.
2. Select Worktime or Project time.
3. Select the user in the drop-down menu.
4. Click the time entry.
5. The saved location is shown in the details of the opened time entry.
