Maximum Number of Clock-in Points
The system currently supports up to 100 clock-in points.
If you need more clock-in points, please contact us.
Clock-in Point Name
Administrators can customize names for each clock-in point, such as "Head Office," "Tainan Branch," "Warehouse," or "New Construction Site."
Clock-in Methods
Each clock-in point can be configured with a specific clock-in method, including:
| No. | Clock-in Method |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tap button to clock in |
| 2 | Scan fixed QR code to clock in |
| 3 | Scan dynamic QR code to clock in |
| 4 | Scan NFC Tag to clock in |
| 5 | Restrict by GPS range |
| 6 | Restrict by Bluetooth range |
| 7 | Restrict by Wi-Fi location |
Clock-in Range
The typical range of each clock-in technology used by SwipePoint is as follows:
| Clock-in Technology | Clock-in Range |
|---|---|
| GPS | Several meters to 1 km |
| Wi-Fi | Up to 20 meters |
| Bluetooth | Up to 10 meters |
| QR Code | Up to 1 meter |
| NFC | Up to 10 cm |
The precision of each clock-in technology is approximately as follows:
| Clock-in Technology | Precision Range |
|---|---|
| GPS | 5–10 meters |
| Wi-Fi | 5–15 meters |
| Bluetooth | 1–10 meters |
| QR Code | 10–30 cm |
| NFC | 0–2 cm |
- Clock-in precision may vary depending on the version of the clock-in technology; testing on-site is recommended for evaluation.
Clock-in range: GPS > Wi-Fi > Bluetooth > QR Code > NFC.
To prevent attendance fraud, it is recommended to enable photo clock-in with these clock-in technologies.
Enable Photo Clock-in
When enabled, users must take a photo at the time of clock-in, such as a clock or street number, to verify their location and time.
To use this feature, the organization creator must first subscribe to a Premium "Storage Space" plan to activate cloud storage for photo clock-ins.
Enforce GPS Location for Clock-in
By default, "Enforce GPS Location for Clock-in" is disabled, allowing employees to choose whether to share GPS coordinates during clock-in. To require GPS location sharing from all employees, enable this option.
GPS Location Considerations
GPS location tracking performs best in open outdoor areas, such as fields, open water, or rural settings where satellite signals are strong. However, GPS accuracy cannot be 100% guaranteed, as signal reception can be affected by indoor environments, weather conditions, tall buildings, satellite visibility, and potential electronic interference. Indoors or underground, GPS signals may be blocked or reflected. Extreme weather like heavy rain or thick clouds can also interfere with signals. In dense urban areas, tall buildings may reflect or block GPS signals, and limited or weak satellite reception can lead to positioning errors. Therefore, both indoor environments and specific weather conditions can affect GPS accuracy.
Note: GPS positioning cannot achieve 100% accuracy.
Enabling GPS Location
To enable GPS location on your smartphone or tablet, follow these steps:
iPhone/iPad (iOS) Devices
- Open Settings: Access the main screen and tap the "Settings" icon.
- Find Privacy: In the settings menu, scroll down and select "Privacy & Security."
- Select Location Services: Tap "Location Services" and ensure it is enabled. If not, turn it on.
- Choose the SwipePoint App: Scroll down to find the SwipePoint app you want to enable GPS for, and tap to access settings.
- Set Location Permission: Choose "While Using the App" or "Always" to allow GPS access for the app.
Android Devices
- Open Settings: Find the "Settings" icon on your home screen or app list and tap to open it.
- Select Location: In Settings, scroll down and find "Location" or "Privacy."
- Enable Location Services: Tap "Location" and ensure the "Location" feature is enabled.
- Find App Permissions: In Location settings, locate "App Permissions" or "Location Permissions" and tap to enter.
- Choose the SwipePoint App: Find the SwipePoint app for which you want to enable GPS and select it.
- Set Location Permission: Choose "While Using the App" or "Always" to allow GPS access.
These steps ensure proper use of the GPS function. For higher accuracy, some Android devices may also allow a "High Precision" mode under Location settings.
Allow Skip Clock-in Point Selection
Management Mode > Organization > My Organization > Allow Skip Clock-in Point Selection- Enable: Employees can tap "Skip" to clock in without selecting a clock-in point.
- Disable: Employees must select a clock-in point to complete their clock-in.
