Locations Permissions on Mobile App

The topic describes how the CareVision Plus Mobile App requests and uses location permissions on Android devices when a user logs in, views their schedule, and tracks travel for billing and payroll purposes.

I. When CareVision Requests Location Permission
  1. After logging in and viewing the calendar, the user who accepts and checks into a booking and starts tracking kilometers will see a dialog box requesting location permission.
  2. This dialog box prompts the user to either allow or decline access to location services.
II. User Actions and App Responses
A. User Allows Location Permission
  1. The application checks if location permissions are enabled on the device.
  2. If the device does not have location permissions enabled, the user must go to the device or app management settings (for example, on Android, enable permissions in app settings).
  3. After the user enables location permissions, the application allows the user to start and stop location tracking without issues.
B. User Declines Location Permission
  1. The user cannot start tracking kilometers.
  2. The application displays a warning message indicating that tracking cannot begin without location permission.
Notes
Note: We recommend that you set the Location Permission to Allow all the time, as this is the only setting that allows GPS tracking in the background.

If you do not set the Location Permission to Allow all the time, travel tracking will not capture location data while the app is in the background, which may result in incomplete or inaccurate travel records.


If you choose Allow only while using the app, location will only be captured when the app is in the foreground.

III. Purpose of Location Tracking
  1. CareVision uses location tracking only to bill and pay for travel and transport that the user logs.
  2. The application does not use location tracking for any other reason.
