Locations

Create a site, drop its GPS pin, and tour the per-location settings that change how it runs.

For admins
Updated July 26, 2026

A location is a site your team works at, and the anchor for most of Atteny: people clock in against it, and it carries its own check-in, scheduling and timesheet rules. The quick version is Add your first location.

Only administrators create or deactivate a location, or change its GPS pin, NFC tags and active status. A manager assigned to one can edit its name and address, nothing more — see Manager location scoping.
Starter includes 1 location. At the cap, Add Location is greyed out with a Pro badge and the server refuses the create too. Only active locations count, so deactivating one frees the slot.
  1. 1

    Create or edit a location

    Select Locations in the sidebar. Add Location opens a dialog with Name (required), Address, and optional GPS Latitude, GPS Longitude and Radius (meters). The pencil icon on any row reopens the same fields as Edit Location.

    The Locations table with Name, Address, GPS and Status columns and the per-row Areas, Settings, edit and delete actions
  2. 2

    Drop the GPS pin

    Open Settings on the row, then the Check-in tab. In GPS Location, select Locate on Map, then click the map or drag the pin to the exact spot — Latitude and Longitude come from the map, not from typing. Set the Geofence Radius (meters) and Save. See GPS checks.

  3. 3

    Deactivate one you've closed

    The trash icon asks to confirm, then marks the location Inactive. It's never deleted, so past timesheets keep their site.
