The Geofencing feature allows the company to ensure that employees can only clock in or out when they are within a specific geographic area.

First, you need to create at least one Geofencing Terminal:

1. Go to Settings > Application > Codings.
2. Open the Terminals coding section.

To create a Geofencing Terminal:

1. Click on the New button.
2. Enter a Name.
3. Select Geofencing Terminal in the Terminal model option.
4. Click Save to confirm.

In the terminal configuration options, a map will now be available to define the area where the terminal will be active.

To position the terminal in the desired area:

1. Enter a valid address in the map’s search box and press Enter.
2. Click and hold the blue circle with the left mouse button and drag it to the desired location.
3. Adjust the circle’s radius by dragging the white dots on its edges.
4. Click Save to confirm the configuration.

Geofencing terminals can only define a circular area.

Next, configure the user so that they can only clock in/out using geofencing terminals:

1. Go to Settings > Security > Users.
2. Select a user or a non-system user group to which the employee belongs. See also Creating user groups
3. In the Rights tab, enable the option: Altamira Attendance: User must clock in within a geofencing area.

For the geofencing feature to work, the company must also enable geolocation.

1. Go to Settings > Account > Company Preferences.
2. In the Cronos Webservice section, select the option Use geolocation.
