Time Entry Geo Perimeter Push-Pins

The Time Entry screen displays pushpins that inform where an employee clocked in or started time on a work ticket relative to the geo perimeters set up in Aspire. The following diagram shows an example of yellow push pins on the Time Entry screen.

Production managers will be able to identify where the crew was relative to the geo perimeter when they clocked in based on these push-pin icons as follows: Green - The employee was within the GEO Perimeter. Yellow - The system could not read the location of the employee’s mobile or the time was changed or entered manually into the Time Entry screen. Red - The employee was outside of the GEO Perimeter.

Clock-Time GEO Perimeter – The push-pins for clock time at the top of the screen are color-coded relative to the address associated with the company. For single-branch companies, this is the address specified on the Company tab of the Application Configuration screen. For multi-branch companies, it is the address specified on the Branch screen for the branch of the employee who clocked in. The employee’s branch is the branch specified on the Contact screen.  In either case, the push-pin is green if the employee clocked in within the number of feet of the center of the location as specified on the Default Geo Perimeter field on the Time Reporting tab of the Application Configuration screen.

Work Ticket Time GEO Perimeter – The push-pins for work ticket time at the lower sections of the screen are color-coded relative to the address associated with the property with which the work ticket is associated. The push-pin is green if the device on which it was started is within the number of feet defining the GEO Perimeter of the center of the location. If a GEO Perimeter greater than zero is defined on the Info tab of the Property screen, that value is used. If not, the value specified on the Default Geo Perimeter field on the Time Reporting tab of the Application Configuration screen is used.

Aspire can further tell where the employee was when they clocked in or started time. The red and green pushpins are hyperlinks to Google Maps and will spot the exact location when the action was taken.
