Overview

Check in to a site using the Forsite App. You must be inside the site geofence for the check in button to appear.

Steps

  1. Open the app to the Home page.
    • You’ll see your current location and the site boundary (geofence).
  2. Move inside the geofence
    • When you’re on site, a green Check in button will appear.
    • If you’re within multiple geofences, you’ll see Select site instead.
  3. Start check-in
    • Tap Check in (or Select site and choose the correct site).
    • This starts your check-in journey, which your site manager has configured.
  4. Complete the required checks (may vary by site)
    • Complete your site induction (if you haven’t already).
    • Acknowledge Site Hazards.
    • Acknowledge High-Risk Warning.
    • Select Work Order you’re here to complete.
    • Select Zone you’re working in.
    • Select how long you expect to be on site (lone-worker protection).
  5. Finish
    • Follow the prompts to complete check-in. You’re now recorded as on site.
    • You’ll be automatically checked out when you leave the geofence.

Troubleshooting

  • No Check in button
    • You may be outside the geofence—move closer to the site.
    • Make sure location permissions are allowed for the app.
    • If you’re in more than one geofence, tap Select site and choose the site.
  • Not seeing the right site
    • Confirm you’re at the correct location and that your company is assigned to the site by your site manager.
  • Still stuck
    • Check you have a stable connection and try again.

FAQs

Q: Why don’t I see the Check in button?
A: You must be inside the site geofence and have location permissions enabled. If multiple sites overlap, tap Select site.

Q: Do I have to finish the induction before I can check in?
A: If your induction isn’t complete, the check-in journey will prompt you to complete it first.

Q: Can I check in to more than one site at once?
A: If you’re within multiple geofences, choose the correct site using Select site. You’ll be recorded on that site only.

Q: What if I forget to check out?
A: You’ll be automatically checked out when you leave the site geofence.
