Understanding GPS Proximity Options
The GPS Proximity Options dialog box lets you configure how the application responds based on your distance from your assigned location.
Understanding the Enable Task Prompts Option
The Enable Task Prompts option will toggle OMA's task proximity feature. When enabled, OMA will automatically prompt crews to check in as they approach tasks and check out as they leave them.
Understanding the Automatically Set On Site Option
The Automatically Set On Site option, when enabled, automatically sets a crew On Site when they get within the Proximity radius of their assigned task.
Understanding the Prompt Retry Timeout Field
The Prompt Retry Timeout field allows you to configure how long your prompts should last before performing their default action. The default check‑in action is setting the crew to On Site. The default check out action is nothing.
Understanding the Enabled Safety Prompts Option
The Enabled Safety Prompts option will toggle OMA's operation safety prompt feature. When enabled, you will be prompted before performing location based actions while your GPS indicates that you are outside of the Proximity Radius.
