Transcript

Attendance opens where the day starts. A live clock, and where you stand today. The page asks for your location before it lets you punch. Clocked in. And the punch carries a badge: in zone. Out of zone, and by how far. This is where the zone comes from. Name it in both languages, search the place, set a radius. Two hundred metres around the Sohar yard. Switch it off and the rule stops applying. Deleting a zone is asked twice, on purpose.

Frequently asked questions

How does the app know an employee is really on site?

The page asks for the device's location before it lets anyone punch, and the punch itself carries a badge — in zone, or out of zone and by how far.

How do I define a work zone?

Name it in both languages, search for the place and set a radius — for example two hundred metres around the Sohar yard. Switch the zone off and the rule stops applying; deleting one asks twice, on purpose.

Is an out-of-zone punch blocked?

It is recorded and flagged with the distance rather than silently blocked, so a legitimate off-site day is visible instead of missing.
