Attendance Recording with Location Validation & Selfie Verification

    Last updated on 

    🧠 What is This Feature?

    This feature ensures attendance records are accurate and secure by validating two key factors before check-in or check-out:

    1. Location Validation (Geofence) – Verifies that you are within your assigned working location(s).
    2. Selfie Verification – Confirms that the photo taken during attendance matches your registered profile picture or onboarding photo.

    It’s typically used for clients who require strict location compliance and identity verification for attendance.

    🎯 Pre-Requisites

    Before you can use attendance recording with location and selfie validation, make sure:

    • Your Attendance Policy has:
      • Geofence Validation enabled
      • Selfie Verification active
    • Working Location(s) are assigned to you by the admin.
    • Your profile photo is correctly uploaded (matches your face for verification).

    📍 How the Process Works

    1. Check-In / Check-Out

    Tap Check In or Check Out based on your needs.

    2. Location Validation

    • Make sure you are within your assigned working location.
    • If you have multiple assigned locations, the system will automatically detect and select the nearest one.
    • If you are outside all assigned locations:
      • You may be able to select another existing location or request location modification, depending on admin settings.
      • If location modification is not allowed, you must be physically within an assigned location to record attendance.

    3. Selfie Verification

    • After your location is validated, take a selfie.
    • The system will check if your selfie matches your registered profile/onboarding photo.
    • If the selfie does not match, the record will still be stored but flagged as Invalid Selfie.

    4. Attendance Confirmation

    Once both location and selfie are validated (or flagged), your attendance will be recorded.

    5. Check Your History

    Go to Attendance History to view:

    • Date & time of check-in/check-out
    • Location details
    • Selfie verification status (Valid / Invalid)

    ⚙️ Additional Information

    When Geofence Validation is ON, the admin can set:

    1. Location Modification Request
      • Not Allowed → Employees can only check in at assigned locations.
      • Allowed → Employees can select a location near them even if it’s not assigned.
    2. Location Addition Request (if modification is allowed)
      • Not Allowed → Employees can only select from existing location records.
      • Allowed → Employees can request to add a new location if needed (e.g., temporary work site).

    💡 Tips

    • Always ensure your GPS is enabled for accurate location detection.
    • Take selfies in good lighting for faster verification.
    • Check your attendance history regularly to confirm all records are valid.
