If diagnostic tools does not resolve your issue, consider advanced troubleshooting below


Geofenced Clock-in/out issues 

1. Incorrect store location

For geofenced clocking method, your store's location (latitude and longitude) is inputted into our system. However if done incorrectly, the resulting location might be inaccurate. For assistance on updating your geolocation coordinates, please refer to how to set up your timeclock

2. Incorrect user location (you are not within the store radius)

We recommend the following configurations

  • a minimum radius of 50 meters

  • further increasing the radius for stores surrounded by large buildings and stores located at basements

3. Other Issues/Additional Troubleshooting

If the above fails, below are some additional things you can do.

  1. Ensure Power Saving Mode is turned off on the Application Settings

  2. Force close StaffAny app and re-open it

  3. Restart the device and try again

  4. Make sure that you're using the latest version of the StaffAny app.

  5. Try other connectivity (wifi/mobile data/hotspot)

  6. Turn off and turn on gps Location service on the device.

  7. Make sure if high accuracy (Android)/precise location mode (iOS) is enabled.


WIFI Clock-in/out issues

Incorrect WiFi network

Most routers have separate networks at 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. If both bands of WiFi are being broadcasted under one single name, your router will automatically connect you to the preferred band network.  It is only possible to select a band network when you have two separate WiFi networks (eg. StaffAny & StaffAny_5G) broadcasted by your router.

Hence, the error shows that you may be connected to a WiFi that is not linked to your organisation's account. Try connecting to the correct WiFi and clock-in again.
