Adding a New Project

With this new feature, Sites can be grouped together and placed under one parent Project. If a number of your Sites are all related to the one Project this is a great opportunity for you to group these all together.

 

To add a new Project to your account, click on the Projects tab on the left hand side menu

 

 

Then click on the Add button at the top of the list that appears

 

 

This will take you to a screen where you will fill out the following details

• Opening Time & Closing Time- will notify any staff still signed in onsite after closing time to sign out and will send notifications to the relevant personnel if still signed into site 1.25 hours after closing time
• Timezone
• Risk Level- choose between Low- Critical Risk levels

 

Once you have filled in all relevant Project information, you will also be able to set up a GPS geofence for the Project by clicking and drawing on the map and joining the co-ordinates together.

 

 

For more information on using GPS Geofencing to sign people in & out please refer to this article

 

You can also add any relevant Tags to your Project or Reset the Map so that you can start drawing your Geofence again.

Signing workers in and out of site for your Projects and/or Sites

 

With this new functionality, signing your workers in and out of site will work differently if you add child sites to your Project.

 

 

If you are adding child sites to a Project then there are two recommended ways that you can set this up:

 

1. GPS Geofence or set up a Sign in/Sign Out QR Code for the entire project, which your workers will sign in and out through.  You can then set up a Location QR code for the individual Sites , which records where that person is located within the Project (the user only needs to scan the Location QR code once to record their location).  The Location QR code is NOT a sign in and out method, it is purely to locate which site the person is on within the Project.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

 

2. Do NOT GPS geofence or set up sign in/out QR codes for the Project and instead set up GPS geofences or sign in/out QR codes for each child site.  By doing it this way, you are not tracking the sign in and outs for the Project as a whole and are only tracking the sign in/outs for each child site.
