You can sign in to your location two ways using OnLocation Mobile: automatically or manually. The sign in method is set by your OnLocation Administrator:
- If set to sign in/out automatically, you won’t need to do anything.
- If automatic sign in/out is not enabled for your location, you will need to sign in/out manually and answer any sign in questions set.
How you sign in will depend on the complexity of your location(s) OnLocation account, however, for employees using OnLocation Mobile at one location, signing in will be very straightforward and generally done using a simple sign in/out workflow.
If you’re unsure of your sign in/out workflow, please contact your OnLocation Administrator.
