Mobile check-in and GPS lite
Field people punch in or out from a phone browser. Operations turns the policy on, can require GPS, and can set a named geofence. VisibleHours stores the punch and — if the employee shares coordinates — whether they were inside the site. The Windows tray still does not log GPS. The mobile tip on the manager screen is a VisibleHours reading of your settings, not a live language model. Public search stays on this page. After you sign in, Ask “gps settings” or “open mobile check-in” opens Mobile / GPS. Ask “mobile tutorial” opens Help. Site search will not punch anyone in or track a phone.
- Turn mobile check-in on in Mobile / GPS. Send the employee notice first.
- Optionally require GPS and set a site name, coordinates, and radius.
- Employees open /checkin, paste an invite code, and punch in or out.
- Managers see who is punched in and the last location / inside-outside flag.
What this is not
- Not on by default. A new org has mobile check-in off and no punches.
- Not live GPS tracking. A location is stored only on a punch.
- Not a store app. Native mobile is a follow-up. This slice is the web punch.
- Not a Windows GPS logger. The tray still does not collect location.
- Not outreach. VisibleHours does not email employees from this screen.
