How to enforce geofence-based clock-out for guards on the Back Office Dashboard?

GuardsPro provides the convenience of enforcing the guards to clock‑out only when they are inside a designated geofence. This ensures accurate attendance tracking and prevents guards from clocking‑out outside the assigned post site.

You can enforce this restriction either globally for all guards or individually for specific guards, depending on operational requirements.

📌 Prerequisites

Before enforcing clock‑out inside geofence, ensure:

• Geofences are already created for your post sites.

• GPS/location services are active on guards’ mobile devices.

• Admin has access to Global Settings or individual guard profiles.

✅ This guide will walk you through the steps to enforce  geofence-based clock-out for guards on the Back Office Dashboard:

👥 For All Guards

🏢 Step 1: Access Settings  

• Click on your Company name in the top‑right corner of the dashboard. 

• Select Settings from the drop‑down menu.

⚙️ Step 2: Navigate to Global Settings & Enable Clock‑Out Inside Geofence    

• Go to Global Settings → Security Guard.

• Under the Time Clock section, select Enable Clock‑Out inside geofence.
