In this section, you can further simplify and tweak lone worker check-in settings. The sections below describe additional Lone Worker configuration options.
Phone Time Keeping Settings
Restrict to Phone Number List: This option restricts check-ins to specific phone numbers. When set off, guards can check in from any phone number.
Enable Lone Worker Requests: Use this option to enable lone worker check-ins.
Consider Late After Number of minutes after which check-in is considered late.
Lone Worker Automatic Check Call: Enable this option to have the guard receive a call if they have not checked in at the scheduled time.
Note: The system automatically calls if the guard has not checked in. If the administrator leaves the field blank, a system default of 5 minutes will be confirmed as a grace period.
Add A Restricted Call-in Number
Phone Number: Add the phone number for the landline that the officers will be required to use. The "*" can be used as a placeholder for any value. This is useful if the officer can call from different property landlines. If all the property phones start with the same numbers, the "*" can be used as any value. For example, if an office building has ten phones, the officer could use, and all starting with (614)335-****, the "*" will allow any number in their place.
Description: Add a description for the landline. For example, "1st Floor Server Room A."
Click on the add phone button to add the number as an authorized number for the site.
Note: Restricting a number in the 'Restrict to phone number list' does not prevent someone from clocking in. However, it does generate a system exception to notify admins that a user is called in from an unauthorized number.
Removing Restricted Call-in Numbers
If a number needs to be removed, click on the [Delete] button in the same row as the number. This will delete the phone number from the authorized numbers.
