What are the differences between “Main/Secondary Location” in an employee’s profile, “Location” in schedules, and “Location Manager” in permissions, and what are they used for?
Main and Secondary Locations in the employee profile
What it is:These are the locations specified in the employee’s personal profile.
Purpose:
Define where the employee can clock in and out in the app or via a biometric device.
Used to filter employees by location across the system.
Location in Schedules
What it is:This is the location you select when creating a schedule.
Purpose:
Shows which place or branch the schedule belongs to.
Defines for which location the work schedule is created.
Allows filtering schedules and employees by this location in the “Schedules” section.
If you create a schedule for one location but add employees from another, the system automatically adds the selected location to the employee’s profile as an secondary one so they can clock in there.
Location Manager in Permissions
What it is:This is an administrator access setting in the Clockster system.
Purpose:
If an administrator manages only specific locations, you can restrict their access.
In permission settings, uncheck “Access to all locations” and select the required ones.
Such a location manager will only see employees whose profiles include the same main or secondary location as in their access permissions.
Summary of differences:
Main/Secondary locations in the employee profile are the locations where the employee can clock in and out.
Location in the schedule is the place for which a specific work schedule is created.
Location manager is an administrator with access only to certain locations, allowing them to manage and view only their assigned employees.
