Locations

Overview

Locations are individual, named geo-fences. They are defined by entering a latitude, longitude, and a radius (m). From the locations tab they can be assigned to a clock face position, meaning that if the user enters that geo-fence, the clock face will update to display them at the associated clock face position.

• NOTE: Only users with the "admin" role have access to this page.

Adding a Location (Add Location)

The steps to adding a location is as follows.

1. Navigate to the Locations Tab.
2. Select the "Add Location" Button directly underneath the locations table.
3. Fill out the "Add Location" Form.
   • Name, Latitude, Longitude, and Radius (m) are required fields.
     • Latitude and Longitude have (?) buttons to aid in formatting and proper input of said field.
     • All are validated for accuracy, and the form will not submit unless all fields are valid.
   • Clock Position is not a required field, and if "None" is selected, then if a user enters this geo-fence, no change will be registered on the clock face.
   • Description is not a required field. It is purely for aiding the user in recognition or notation.

Editing a Location (Edit)

The edit location form is the same visually as the "Add Location" form, but with the field pre-populated with the location selected to be edited. All field rules are are identical.

Deleting a Location (Delete)

When a user selects a location to be deleted, they will be prompted with confirmation modal double checking that they are sure they would like to delete the location. If confirmed, the location is deleted and then the relation to the clock face position, if applicable, is erased.

Display Location on Map (Navigate To)

The navigate to button will refresh the "Location Preview" map to display the location and its boundaries. This is a helpful tool to make sure the coordinates a user entered are correct and sized accordingly.
