Enabling GPS / Location Services

Location Services allows location-based apps such as ClockIN to determine your approximate location.  If location services are enabled on the mobile application, your employees can clock in and out and add activity information including their location recorded at the time of the event.  Please see the instructions below on how to enable GPS / Location Services for both iOS and Android operating systems.

iOS

  1. Tap the GPS icon on any of the pages within the app.
  2. Tap the Location option and select:
    • Never
    • Ask Next Time

    • Always
  3. Toggle for on for "Precise Location" or off "Approximate" location.

Location Services can also be changed directly from the device setting options by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.  This will show you all of the apps / system services that currently have location services enabled.  If you wish to make changes to the app's location settings select the '>' to the right of the page to view the location settings for that specific app.

Alternatively, swipe down from the top of the screen to access your notifications panel.  This should also reveal your quick settings menu.

When the icon is illuminated the service is on.  To enable Location Services from the main Home screen go to Settings>Location>ClockIN.
