TrackTik's Onsite License feature allows users to access the TrackTik system from a computer's browser. Onsite licensing is helpful for users who do not need to complete checkpoint tours but still need to clock in and out, file reports, or use the Visitor Management module.
Requirement: To use the Onsite License for reporting and visitor management, the Scheduling and Timekeeping module must be active. While employees can log in to the Staff Portal without it, the specific Onsite tools (Site Access tile) will not appear or function unless a scheduling environment is detected.
Note: Some features in this section are available in the staff portal without activating an Onsite license.
Onsite License Activation
Follow these steps to activate the Onsite license feature. From the Security and Patrol tab, activate the Onsite License feature.
Go to:
Site > Security and Patrol tab > Onsite Features > Onsite License
Users will now access the site with the same credentials to access TrackTik on a mobile device.
Clock in Using an Onsite License
Articles where "Onsite" appears in the heading that describes Onsite license functionality require an Onsite license to be usable.
Users utilizing the Onsite license can clock in and out for shifts and breaks like a mobile device.
You can follow the steps below to clock in using the Onsite license.
From the Onsite tile, select the Site Access option.
The users will see the list of sites to which they are assigned.
Click the Clock In button to clock into the site.
Confirm that you would like to clock in.
The system will ensure you are clocking in at your scheduled site. If you try to clock in at a different location than where you are scheduled, you will get an error message telling you you are scheduled at a different location.
If the Scheduling module is active but the employee is not on the calendar, the system will generate an 'Unplanned Shift.' However, if the Scheduling module is disabled entirely, the Onsite portal will remain inactive for that site. Consequently, users at sites without the Scheduling module enabled will not be able to utilize these Onsite features
Once a user has clocked into a site, they can clock out, start a break, or leave the site. The user can also write reports using the Onsite license.
