How Scheduled Location Monitoring Works

Scheduled Location Monitoring lets you set the hours when the Hub collects location data. Outside those hours, the Hub stops collecting. SOS keeps working around the clock, and the device's tracking rate does not change.

Most teams use this for privacy. A worker on a 7am to 6pm shift does not need their employer holding a map of where they went on Saturday night. Setting a collection window means the Hub only holds location data for the hours the person is actually on the clock.

What Changes and What Does Not
Inside the window Outside the window
Hub collects location Yes No
SOS works Yes Yes
Device tracking rate Unchanged Unchanged
Device keeps working normally Yes Yes

Two things are worth saying plainly, because both get misunderstood.

The tracking rate does not change. This is not a battery-saving feature and it is not a way to reduce satellite usage. The device reports on the same schedule it always did. What changes is whether the Hub keeps that data.

SOS is not affected. If someone declares an SOS at 2am, well outside the collection window, the SOS goes through and carries location with it. The window controls routine location collection, not emergencies.

Before You Turn This On

You are creating a deliberate blind spot in your location history. If an incident happens outside the collection window, there will be no location trail to review afterward. That is the point of the feature, but it needs to be a decision your safety and legal teams have made on purpose.

Ask these questions first:

Do people work outside the window? Overtime, call-outs, and travel days all happen outside normal hours. If a window is set to office hours and half the team works nights, the window is wrong.

What does your duty of care policy require? Some contracts and insurance policies require location records for the full duration of an assignment. Check before restricting collection.

Have you told the field team? People should know when they are being tracked and when they are not. Telling them builds trust and prevents the "I thought my device was broken" support ticket.
