The 'Location Management' page is where you can manage your locations and their details throughout your Arcoro modules. At least one location must be entered for the time tracking system to work, as every employee/user tracking their time must select a location when clocking in. You can have as many locations as you want for detailed time tracking or a simplified list of locations. If you are also using AccountLinx with a payroll/job-costing system, it is generally recommended to match locations with your payroll/job-costing system for accuracy.

A location's details allow you to view and set up its information, such as but not limited to: 

• General information and address.
• Policies unique to the location.
• GPS and Geofence information.

For our purposes, we will focus on fields relevant to Arcoro Time.

You can learn more about managing your locations in the Location Management menu of Arcoro Unified here.

Please Note

• Locations do not currently offer a start/stop time for when the jobsite can be worked, as any active location can be selected by employees when clocking in on the Arcoro app.
• Employees cannot be restricted from clocking in to an active location; if it is active, it can be selected. The only method currently offered that can prevent an employee from clocking in to a location is the GeoFence Warning/Restriction, which can prevent employees from clocking in to a location if their phone/tablet places them outside the GeoFence of a location.
