Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does the "From" and "To" IP range mean?

The "From" field defines the start of the IP range, while the "To" field (optional) specifies the end of the IP range. This range allows for multiple IPs to be included in the Geo Fencing rule.

No, the "To" field is optional. You can leave it blank if you are only specifying one IP address or if the IP range is a single address.

3.Can I delete an IP address after adding it?

Yes, once the IP address is added, you can click the three dots (ellipsis) next to the IP address entry and select Delete to remove it.
 
 

4.Is the Geo Fencing applied to all employees automatically?

Once the IP range is added, it applies to any employee attempting to clock in from the specified IP addresses within the range.
 
 

5.What should I do if I want to allow a new IP range?

Simply repeat the process, adding the new IP address or range under the Add IP section.
