Remote check-ins map
The remote check-ins map shows, on a map, where employees checked in or out when they were away from a work location. Use it to see where remote staff actually were on a day, spot a check-in from somewhere unexpected, and open that person's event to review or reject it.
It shows only remote check-ins and check-outs. Check-ins at a branch do not appear.
Where:
- Attendance › Event List › Remote check-ins › View on map. The map opens in a new tab
- Attendance › Tools & Reports › Remote check-ins
You need: the Team Attendance right. You see only the employees whose attendance you can see.
How to see where people checked in remotely
- Open the map from Tools & Reports, or from the Event List. The page is titled Remote check-ins.
- Set the date range. It opens on today, even when you come from an Event List showing other dates.
- Use Search Employees or Filters to narrow it, for example to one branch.
- Read the pins. Each pin is one remote check-in or one remote check-out.
- Select a pin to zoom in. A card shows the person's photo, name and In Remote or Out Remote.
- Select the name to open the event window, where you can review the day or reject the check-in.
When to use this, and when not to
| The question | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Where were people when they checked in remotely? | The map, here |
| Which days had a remote or offline check-in? | Event List, with Remote check-ins or the Is Offline filter |
| Where did someone travel during their shift? | Checkpoints and geo-tracking |
| Should remote check-in be allowed at all? | Offline and remote check-ins |
Reading the map
- Two pins. The standard pin marks a remote check-in; the red pin marks a remote check-out. A day that started and ended remotely has two pins, which may be in different places.
- The map fits itself to the pins each time the filters change.
- No pins means nobody checked in or out remotely in the range and filters you chose, or the device sent no location.
Filters
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search Employees | Find people by name |
| Date range | The days to show. Defaults to today |
| Department, Branch, Position, Group, Activity, Subsidiary, Cost Centre | Narrow to part of the company. Several can be chosen in each |
| Status (All, In Remote, Out Remote) | Check-ins only, check-outs only, or both |
| Active only | Leave out employees who are no longer active |
Reloading the page keeps the dates and the company filters, but clears the search, the status and Active only.
What Happens Next
- The map changes nothing. A remote check-in counts as attendance unless someone rejects it.
- To reject one, open the event from the pin and follow the steps in Offline and remote check-ins. Rejecting removes the stamp and leaves the day incomplete until corrected.
Tips
- Look at a whole week for field teams. A pin far from the usual area stands out against a week of normal ones.
- Filter by branch before judging distance. A pin that looks wrong for one team may be the normal client site of another.
- Treat one odd pin as a question, not a verdict. Phone location can be off, especially indoors. Ask before rejecting.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: Someone checked in remotely but there is no pin. Check the date range and filters. If their phone sent no location, there is nothing to place.
Q: I can't find View on map on the Event List. Select the Remote check-ins button first. View on map appears beside it.
Q: Can I see offline check-ins here? Only if they were also remote. Use the Is Offline filter on the Event List instead.
