Atto gives you flexible options to configure how location tracking works across your team. These settings help you balance accountability, privacy, and operational insight — depending on your workflow needs.
Setting Location Tracking Preferences
To configure how location tracking works across your company:
Go to Settings > Location Tracking
Choose one of the following options:
While on the Clock
Tracks user location in real time throughout the workday
Requires device permissions set to “Always”
Ideal for field teams or jobs requiring continuous visibility
On Clock In/Out Only
Tracks location only at clock in and clock out
Requires device permissions set to “While Using the App”
Good for teams who only need entry/exit verification
Never
Disables location tracking completely
No location permissions will be required from users
Enable User-Specific Location Tracking
If your team setup requires different tracking preferences for different roles or individuals, you can enable User-Specific Tracking.
Customize location settings for each team member based on their responsibilities
Ensure each user has the right setup for their role, without applying a one-size-fits-all policy
Important Note for Team Members
For “While on the Clock” or “On Clock In/Out Only” to work:
Users must enable location services for Atto on their devices
Location access is required for clocking in/out, job switching, and break tracking
For setup instructions, refer to:
