# GeoFencing and Controls

## Overview

GeoFencing allows administrators to create virtual geographic boundaries to manage access and track attendance strictly within specific physical locations. This feature is particularly useful for site-based teams, warehouse staff, or field workers who need to report to a specific location.

## Supported Platforms

* **Mobile App**: Fully supported on iOS and Android devices for location validation.
* **Web Dashboard**: Administrators configure and manage GeoFences via the We360.ai web portal.

## How to Manage GeoFences

1. **Configuration**: Administrators can define a GeoFence by setting a central coordinate (location) and a permitted radius around it via the settings on the web dashboard. Multiple locations can be configured for different teams or sites.
2. **Mobile Validation**: When an employee uses the mobile app to Punch In or Punch Out, the system validates their current GPS location against the configured GeoFence boundaries.
3. **Exceptions & Flexibility**: Recognizing that work requirements vary, administrators can enable GeoFence exceptions for specific users or groups. This allows designated employees to bypass the location validation if their role requires them to work outside the standard boundaries.
