The app says location permission is denied

Screenshot of the Clock In window with the red message Location permission denied and the Open App Settings button.
The red box that shows when the app is not allowed to use your location.

You see a red box with the text Location permission denied and Enable permissions to verify location. The app cannot find your position because you did not allow it, or because location is switched off on your phone.

  1. Make sure location (GPS) is switched on in the settings of your phone.
  2. Press Open App Settings in the red box.
  3. Find Location and choose to allow it for the app or for your browser.If the button does not open the settings, open the settings of your phone or the site settings of your browser yourself. In many browsers, you press the small icon next to the web address.
  4. Go back to the app and press Clock In or Clock Out again.

The location takes long or looks wrong

GPS needs a clear view of the sky. Inside buildings or basements, it can be slow or off by several meters.

  1. Wait a little while the text Checking your GPS location... shows. If it says Waiting for a GPS fix, your position is not ready yet.
  2. Move next to a window or step outside.
  3. Press Retry location.
  4. Switch your internet or Wi-Fi on. It helps the phone find its position faster.
  5. Press View on Map to see where the app thinks you are.

The camera does not open

You press Tap to take selfie and nothing happens, or no photo is saved. The phone or browser may be blocking the camera.

  1. Open the settings of your phone or the site settings of your browser and allow the camera for the app.
  2. Close other apps that use the camera, such as video calls.
  3. Reload the app page and try again.

The app says you are outside the clock-in area

Screenshot of the Clock In window with the red message Out of attendance range and the distance to the location.
What the app shows when you are too far from the location.

You see a red message: Out of attendance range, with a distance such as 80m away from the name of the area. The confirm button cannot be used.

  1. Walk closer to the workplace, and follow the hint Navigate closer to an attendance spot.
  2. Press View on Map to see the allowed area and your position. Press Retry location to check again.
  3. If you are really inside the workplace and still see this message, tell your admin. The admin can make the area larger or move it.

If you see No attendance location assigned, no area is set for you yet. Tell your admin.

The time or the state looks wrong

  • Check that the date, the time and the time zone of your phone are set to automatic.
  • Your clock-in and clock-out times follow the time zone of your phone. The times of your shift follow the time zone of your work location. If the two zones are different, the times can look different.
  • Late and early times are worked out in the time zone of your work location. If you are marked late but you clocked in on time, tell your admin. Your admin can check the time zone of the location.
