As an Employee, how do I start and stop field duty location tracking in Asanify?

If your company has turned on live location tracking, you can share your live location while you are out on field duty, so your admins and your manager know where you are. This is available only in the Asanify mobile app.

Step 1 - Start field duty after clocking in

Clock in as usual. If your company has field duty tracking on, a Start field duty? dialog opens, saying you are clocked in and asking whether to share your live location for this trip. Tap Start field duty to begin, or Not now to stay clocked in without tracking. Not now is remembered only for this clock-in; the next one asks again.


Step 2 - Review and accept the location notice

The first time you start field duty on this phone, a longer notice opens before anything is shared. It explains what is collected, why, who can see it, how long it is kept, and how to stop. Tap Allow and continue to accept and carry on, or Not now to decline; declining cancels the start and leaves you clocked in with no tracking.


Step 3 - Allow the permissions your phone asks for

After you accept, your phone may ask to allow location while using the app, and, on newer Android phones, to allow notifications. Allow both, so field duty can run and so you can always see that tracking is on. If you have had trouble with these prompts before, see why clock-in sometimes fails on a phone.


Step 4 - See that tracking is on, and stop it

While field duty is running, a Tracking on - sharing your live location banner stays at the top of every screen, with a Stop button. Tap Stop at any time to end tracking, or simply clock out, which stops it for you. To turn location sharing off for good rather than session by session, turn off location access for Asanify in your phone's own Settings app.


Step 5 - If field duty did not start

If Start did not work, the Dashboard shows a message explaining why, such as location being turned off or a permission not granted, with a button to open the right phone settings and a Start field duty button to try again once it is fixed.
