Can one set coordinates(vicinity) within which an employee can be allowed to check in?
I.e. say, one wants to make sure one can only check-in while within certain coordinates.
Or maybe a report of, coordinates one is expected to check in from, vis a vis coordinates one actually checked in from.
A use case I have heard of.

Yes, geofencing will be the next feature we will work on after this gets released.

Nice, but what if I turn on location spoofing (in android) and try to check in or out from acceptable areas when I am out relaxing ?

Currently the feature doesn't have anyway to detect this

Yes I understand and I checked if mock location is checked in the latest release. I am not into app development/PWA. But from my research, a simple check for "allow mock location" setting could do the trick. Would it be worth the HRMS team's time to spare a few hours? A mocked gps location is not of any use. I was concerned about this issue since I learnt the geo location attendance was in HRMS's future plan and I have raised issues multiple times. I would definitely contribute but this is out of my expertise area.

I meant there is no way to know whether the location is mocked or not.
