What is a site location?

A site location is a physical place where workers check in and out, such as a site's main entrance or a loading dock. Some parts of Swift Checkin call it a Gate.

What a site location is​

  • A point on the map, marked by a red pin, that belongs to one project.
  • It has a name, a location, a time zone and a radius.
  • The radius sets the check-in zone: the circle around the pin that counts as being at the site location. It's drawn as a red circle on the map.

How site locations relate to projects​

  • A site location can only be added after its project exists.
  • Every project gets one site location when it's created. This is its default site location.
  • If your site has more than one way in, or work happens in more than one place, you can add extra site locations to the same project.

Good to know​

  • You can see every site location in your organisation on the Site Locations page, under Field Operations then Locations. In some accounts, Site Locations appears directly under Field Operations.
  • A project's default site location can't be deleted.
  • Each site location has a QR code you can download. See How do I download a site's QR code?
