Set up Geofence and Site Access

Modified on Fri, 25 Oct at 1:11 AM

The 'Site Location' screen shows the construction site on a map. Project managers can set up a geofence around the site and define the site access.  

  • The geofence defines the boundary within which your crew members should be present during their working hours.
  • The digital timecard records accept the in-time and the other time card entries made by the crew members only if they are within the geofence.
  • If a worker is away from the geofence for more than a specified period, he/she will be clocked out. They have to resume the clock once they re-enter the geofence.
  • The site access defines the entry/egress points of the site for crew/equipment entry, material deliveries, etc. 
  • The plus code and the site coordinates are created for the site based on the site access location.

To set up the geofence and the site access

  • Open the management console of the project
  • Click the app launcher  , then select 'Field.'
  • Click 'Site' on the top, then choose 'Geofence' on the left 

The site is shown on the map with a default geofence and site access:

Note: You cannot change the site location once the project starts.

Set up Geo-fence

  • Click at the top right.

There are two options:

  • Click the 'Circle' or 'Rectangle' to create the geofence with standard shapes. The geofence is added with a standard size.
    • Use the handles at the edges of the geofence to resize it to the exact dimension needed.
  • Click the 'Shape' and draw a geofence of a custom shape around the site.

  • Click the 'Save Site' button for your settings to take effect.
