Potential issues and resolutions:

After scanning the QR, you may encounter some error messages. The messages, along-with resolutions are described below:

1. “Please turn on Location and try again”: To resolve this issue, make sure you have turned on Location on your phone. If the location is turned on, make sure you have granted location access to Runtime Workman. To check this, go to Settings > Apps > Workman > Permissions. Check Location permission is included in ‘Allowed’ list. If Location is appearing in ‘Not Allowed’ list, tap on location and select ‘Allow while in use’.

2. “Location mismatch. Allowed distance xx mtr. Actual distance: yy mtr”: This error means the user’s location does not match with office location. If you are present in the office and this error shows up, it means that either the location co-ordinates were changed by HR Admin or your phone’s location is not accurate. If the difference shown is a few meters (for e.g. 20-25 meters), adjust the Area Radius to a higher value as described above.

3. “Location QR is not configured. Please contact support”: This error shows up when the employee does not belong to the location whose QR code is begin scanned. Verify the employee location using Work Profile section and update if necessary.
