Building the habit to clock in at the beginning or end of your shift will take some time. To help build this muscle memory, we at busybusy have created the Reminders feature. Once reminders are set up, you will get a notification from busybusy reminding you to clock in/out.

There are two kinds of reminders you can set for yourself: a time based reminder, or an area based reminder. |
Each user will need to set these reminders individually within their busybusy mobile apps. This cannot be done from the web. |

Area-Based Reminders
Area-Based Reminders use the user's GPS location to create a geofence when they clock in or switch to another project. This feature is on by default with a geofence of 100 meters in diameter. The geofence diameter can be enlarged up to 1,000 meters. Once the geofence has been set, the user will get a push notification from busybusy to their mobile device asking them if they would like to clock in or out depending on the notifications set and the user's proximity to the geofence.
From your Main Menu, click on the Clock In button
For Android devices: Select the gear icon on the top right of the screen
For iOS devices: Select the Options button on the bottom of the screen
Under Area-Based Reminders, you can turn on or off the clock in or out reminders & select the size of the geofence
Select Save (Android) or Done (iOS) on the top right of the screen
