This feature allows you to see the location of every Smartphone punch. When an employee clocks in or out from their smartphone app, a location icon will appear next to their punch in your portal on Time Cards, Punch Reports, and your Who's In dashboard widget. Once you select the icon, a map will display the location of that punch.

  1. Log in to your account, and the Dashboard will display. The dashboard can also be located from the side navigation bar.
  2. The Smartphone punches will have a location icon  to the left of the punch. 

  3. To view, hover over the location icon   to the left of the Smartphone punch time and click on the iconfor the map to pop up.
