Geofencing for Web Clock Introduction
When enabling geofencing for Web Clock, you can now specify a validation mode:
- Record and report: Shows the worker a message letting them know that their manager was notified that they reported time outside their geofence. It also records the clock event with an exception.
- Restrict: Won't allow the worker to record web clock events outside the primary assignment work location.

Steps to Enable
Enable geofencing validation using the Worker Time Entry Profile task on the Search tab of the My Client Groups > Time Management page.
Tips And Considerations
Certain countries might have issues with geofencing because of data availability and accuracy for addresses. Test the coverage and accuracy of maps in your countries. In a future release, you'll be able to specify location coordinates for your geofences.
