# Geo-Location Tracking

This release introduces a comprehensive set of enhancements to enable accurate, compliant, and configurable geo-location tracking within Zenople. These updates empower staffing organizations to manage employee location tracking according to business and client requirements while ensuring employee consent and maintaining compliance with privacy standards.

The new functionality addresses critical operational needs by allowing office staff to configure location tracking at the customer level, customize it at the job level, and monitor real-time location activity. The feature ensures that geo-location tracking is initiated only when all prerequisite conditions are met, employee consent and job-level configuration, thereby reducing compliance risks.

Clients benefit from greater transparency, control, and flexibility, with features designed to improve accountability in time tracking, enhance workforce safety, and provide real-time visibility for critical assignments without compromising employee privacy.

### Functionality

#### Employee Consent Management

- A new Employee Consent document type is available under ATM > List Item > Document Type for onboarding compliance.
- Once employees complete the Geo Location Consent form, the document is automatically stored under EIS > Document with:
  - Document Type: Employee Consent
  - Document Name: EmployeeID_Geo Location Consent
- Documents added manually do not count as formal consent.

#### Customer-Level Location Tracking Configuration

- A new **Optional Settings** sub-navigation is now available under the **Customer Detail** page in **CMS**.
- Within Optional Settings, a dedicated **Location Tracking**section allows configuration of:
  - *Enable Location Tracking* (Yes/No, default: No)
  - *Geofence Radius* (Feet; default: 100; minimum: 50)
  - *Geofence Start Threshold* (Minutes)
- Additional fields become active only when Location Tracking is enabled.

#### Job-Level Location Tracking Overrides

- When creating or editing Temp Jobs (**TJM**) and Scheduled Jobs (**JSM**), a **Show More**section includes:
  - *Enable Location Tracking*
  - *Geofence Radius*
  - *Geofence Start Threshold*
- Job-level defaults inherit settings from Customer Optional Settings but can be overridden without affecting customer configurations.
- Conditional logic ensures geofence fields are editable only when Location Tracking is enabled for the job.

#### Automated Geo-Location Tracking

- Location tracking activates only when:
  - The employee has provided Geo Location Tracking consent.
  - The job’s Enable Location Tracking is set to Yes.
  - There is a shift associated with the assignment.
- Once both conditions are met and a shift is configured:
  - Tracking begins at the scheduled geofence start threshold prior to shift start.
  - Monitors employee location within the configured radius in real time.
- Location Tracking is handled through the Zenople Mobile Application, and App-Consent is also required.

#### Real-Time Monitoring Panel

- A new Geo-Location Tracking Panel is accessible from the Job Detail page for both TJM and JSM on the web.
- Displays assignments grouped into:
  - Active Location Tracking (within geofence)
  - Outside Geofence Radius
  - Location Tracking Not Enabled
- Provides real-time location for active employees and quick access to contact actions (phone, email, text).

#### Configuration Warnings

- During Add Assignment, Edit Assignment, or Assignment Schedule, warning exception alert users when:
  - Location Tracking is enabled but the employee has not provided consent.
  - Location Tracking is enabled but no shift is set up for the job.
- These exception are available in the following exception stages:
  - Add Assignment
  - Edit Assignment
  - Assignment Schedule
- The exception are non-system level and warning.

### Additional Notes

- **An Employee should provide "Allow all the time" permission for Location Tracking in their Mobile Application for tracking. We are not authorized for tracking if the Mobile Device permission is not given or set as "Allow while using the app", or "Ask every time".**
- Geo-location tracking does not initiate without both prerequisites: employee consent and job-level location tracking enabled.
- Shift setup is mandatory to activate location tracking.
- Geo-location data is displayed only within the web platform; mobile support applies to tracking within the configured geofence.
- Warnings are informational and do not prevent users from proceeding with assignments after acknowledgment.
