How do I create a workplace?

Why do you need to create workplaces?

Creating workplaces and assigning employees to them lets you restrict check-ins and check-outs so they’re only possible within a specific geographic area.

Example: If your company has several branches, creating Workplaces in Mawqoot for each branch and assigning employees to them lets you limit check-in so an employee in one branch can't check in unless they're within a specific range from their branch. Same thing goes for check-out and breaks. Workplaces can be offices, stores, warehouses, and more.

Create a Workplace

1. From the sidebar, click on Company> Workplaces. You'll see the list of workplaces for the company account.

2. Click on Add Workplace. You'll see the workplace data page with several data fields (click the button below to learn more about them).

Workplace Data

Spot radius
This field lets you set the range of the workplace. So, if you set this field to 70, for example, that means the employee won't be able to check-in unless they're at least within 70 meters of the location set on the map.

Manager
This field lets you pick a manager for the workplace so they can later see attendance reports for the employees assigned to the workplace and approve their requests in the approval chain. You can pick an employee from the list of staff in the Supervisor or Manager category as the workplace manager.

Enable periodic attendance tracking
If this field is enabled, notifications will be sent periodically on the mobile app to workplace employees, asking them to confirm their presence at work by saving their location. You can set how often the tracking happens from the field that shows up when you enable this option.

Periodic tracking doesn't monitor or track where employees are directly. It only sends notifications to ask employees to save their location by tapping the Save My Location button. If the employee doesn't tap the button each time or saves their location while they're away from the workplace, this will be reflected in a field called At Work Percentage. This gives the admin a good hint on how much the employee sticks to being at work.

Wi-Fi networks
This field lets you add Wi-Fi networks specific to your workplace, so employees have to connect to them to be able to check-in.
To add a network, you need to enter its name and MAC address.
