Add your first location

A location is a place your team works — a café, a shop floor, a second branch. It's the anchor for a lot of Atteny: it's where people clock in, it powers NFC and GPS check-in, and each location carries its own scheduling, break and timesheet rules. Add at least one before you invite your team.

1. 1

   Open Locations

   Select Locations in the sidebar. This is where every site you run lives, each with its own settings.

   

2. 2

   Select Add Location

   Select Add Location in the top-right corner. On the Starter plan, once you already have a location this button is greyed out with a Pro badge — that's the single-location limit.

3. 3

   Name it and add the address

   In the dialog, type a Name (required) your team will recognise, like "Main Café". Add the Address (optional). You can leave the GPS fields blank for now — it's easier to pin the exact spot on a map in the next step. Select Create.

   

4. 4

   Pin it on the map for check-in

   Back on the Locations list, select Settings next to your new location, then open the Check-in tab. In the GPS Location card, select Locate on Map to drop a pin from the address, then click the map or drag the pin to the exact spot. Set a Geofence Radius (meters) — how close someone must be to clock in — and select Save.

   

What a location controls

Everything about a location lives across the tabs on its Settings page:

• General — name, address, city and postal code.
• Check-in — the GPS pin and geofence, plus NFC tag setup for tap-to-clock-in.
• Areas — sections within the site (kitchen, floor, till) for scheduling.
• Scheduling — operating hours, default shift and break lengths.
• Timesheets — break rules and what managers may do at this location.

Which people work at a location is set on each person's profile, on their Employment tab — so an employee can belong to more than one site.

What's next

Now that you have somewhere for people to work, set up who does what and what they're paid in Roles and pay rates, then put people on shifts in Your first schedule.
