How to Add a Location (Job/Jobsite) in ExakTime Connect

"Locations" are typically used to track time worked for a location, job, jobsite, etc. Some organizations may also use locations differently by tracking any work time for a client, such as with off-site fabrication, office work, etc. As long as a location is active, employees can select the location when clocking in, and administrators can use the location with related features.

Locations for ExakTime do not currently offer a start/stop time for when the jobsite can be worked, as it can be selected by employees when clocking in on ExakTime Mobile.

Do not use emojis when adding/editing a location, as it can cause unforeseen issues with systems that are expected to be alphanumeric.

1. Go to Manage in the Menu bar and click Locations.

   

2. Click Add Location.

   

3. You will be taken to the "Add Location" page to enter information for this job.

   

1. The only mandatory field is the location name, which will be seen and used within ExakTime Connect and ExakTime Mobile.
   • While not mandatory, we advise entering a location ID and address if possible.
2. The location ID can be used for information such as job numbers to match with job information in your accounting package.
3. The main purpose of the address is to find the GPS coordinates associated with the address and create a GeoFence radius to let you know if the employee was actually there or not.
4. If you want to double-check the GPS for a location or input your own, you can go to the GPS tab.

   

5. GPS Coordinates and the GeoFence radius can be entered or adjusted in the appropriate fields to the left of the map.

   

6. When a GPS coordinate is placed onto the map, it can be adjusted by clicking a dragging the coordinate or expanding the GeoFence by clicking and dragging within the green circle.

   

7. When finished, click Save if this is the only location you will be entering or Save and New if you would like to add another location.
