Button clock-in allows users (employees) to clock in directly in SwipePoint. Managers can also enable “Require GPS Location for Clock-In” so that users (employees) must submit their GPS coordinates when clocking in. The coordinates are provided as a reference for location verification.

Features

  • GPS Location: Managers can require the GPS coordinates of users (employees) to be recorded when they clock in. The coordinates are provided as a reference for location verification.
  • Real-Time Data: Clock-in data is synchronized to Management Mode in real time, making it easier for managers to review and manage.

How to Use

  1. Connect to the Internet: Make sure the user’s (employee’s) phone is connected to the internet.
  2. Tap the Clock-In Button: The user (employee) taps the clock-in button in SwipePoint.
  3. Allow GPS Access: If “Require GPS Location for Clock-In” is enabled, follow the on-screen instructions to allow SwipePoint to access the device’s location.
  4. Synchronize Data: The system records the clock-in time and synchronizes the clock-in data to Management Mode for managers to review and analyze.

Benefits

  • Fast and Convenient: Users (employees) can clock in by tapping a button, making the process simple and quick.
  • More Complete Records: GPS location and photo features can provide additional information for reviewing clock-in records.
  • Lower Costs: No traditional time clock or paper time cards are required, which can reduce equipment and maintenance costs.
  • Fewer Consumables: Reduces the use of paper time cards.

Suitable Scenarios

  • Working from Home: Suitable for remote or home-based users (employees).
  • Field Work: Suitable for users (employees) who work off-site, such as sales and service personnel.
  • Office Environments: Suitable for users (employees) who work at a fixed location.

Notes

  • Internet Connection: Make sure the user (employee) has a stable internet connection when clocking in to prevent connection problems from interrupting the process.
  • GPS Signal: If a GPS location must be submitted, make sure location permission is enabled and use the feature where a reliable location signal is available.

Require a Photo

Home > Management Mode > Clock-In Records and Management > Clock-In Point Settings > Select Clock-In Point > Tap the Button to Clock In > Require a Photo

From the “Home” page in “Management Mode,” managers can select “Clock-In Records and Management,” then “Clock-In Point Settings,” to open the clock-in point settings page.

When this feature is disabled, users (employees) can choose whether to take and upload a photo. When it is enabled, users (employees) must follow the instructions to take a photo while clocking in, such as a clock or door number, as supporting evidence of the location and time.

Before using this feature, the organization creator must subscribe to the Premium “Storage” plan to enable cloud storage for photo clock-in.

Require GPS Location for Clock-In

Home > Management Mode > Clock-In Records and Management > Clock-In Point Settings > Select Clock-In Point > Tap the Button to Clock In > Require GPS Location for Clock-In

From the “Home” page in “Management Mode,” managers can select “Clock-In Records and Management,” then “Clock-In Point Settings,” to open the clock-in point settings page.

“Require GPS Location for Clock-In” is disabled by default, so users (employees) can choose whether to submit their GPS location when clocking in. Enable this option if every user (employee) must submit the GPS coordinates of their clock-in location.

Important:

  1. GPS locations can be spoofed: Requiring GPS location records cannot completely prevent technical methods of location spoofing.
  2. Signal problems may occur: Some users (employees) may be unable to submit GPS coordinates while clocking in because of device limitations, environmental interference, or similar factors.
  3. Use required photos as well: To reduce errors or fraud, consider also enabling “Require a Photo” to improve the reliability and completeness of attendance records.
