Recording Time Records Using Geolocation (GPS)

Created by Mario Rodriguez, Modified on Sat, 28 Feb at 4:16 AM by Mario Rodriguez

 

Students will now be able to clock in and out from a clinical site using a smart device and have their location recorded (longitude, latitude) with the time record. The feature isn't fool proof - there are apps available that claim to "spoof" the correct location so we still recommend human verification/approval of records - but this will certainly give a new option to many students who visit clinical sites where a computer is not available to clock in. The student must have a smart device with a GPS chip such as many smartphones - and access to the internet via a smartphone-enabled web browser. Note that some tablets do not contain GPS chips.

Students may access the mobile login page by clicking the Login Link in the top right corner of www.trajecsys.com, or go directly to trajecsys.com/programs/.

After logging in, students will select "Clock in/out" from the menu.




They will then be asked to allow trajecsys.com to save the location.




It's important that this is selected correctly the first time. else in some phones (such as Apple's) the option will not appear again without resetting from the Settings area. If "Don't Allow" is selected and no option is given the next time, the student can follow the link on the clock in page, which will take them to the User Guide page which will attempt to identify for them the location where this information can be reset.

Finally, the student will see be asked to Clock in or out. If accuracy is fair to poor, the student can click the coordinates to see exactly where trajecsys.com "sees" him, then Agree or Disagree with the location. Disagreeing with the location information will result in the location information not being stored.
