Reporting
Admins and managers can access two reports to view scans. They are both accessed in the Reports tab under the subheading "Checkpoint Reports".
The Checkpoint Report Excel, will export in excel format with Customer and Site information, checkpoints scanned, who scanned them, and when. It also verifies the GPS data against the coordinates set in the checkpoint setup. This gives you visibility to staff being at the checkpoints or not when scans are made.
The Checkpoint Report PDF exports the exact same information but in a format more suitable for presenting to clients.
