Introduction to Locations
For general information about geolocation tracking, how it works, OS setup, and answers to frequently asked questions, see this Knowledge Base article.
Check out this article to learn how Teramind determines In-Office vs. Out-of-Office status using geolocation and access points. Discover detection priority rules, 15-minute bucket logic, and best practices for accurate location reporting.
The Locations screen allows you to create location profiles. Teramind will then use the location profile to match a user’s geolocation coordinates and network information (e.g., Wi-Fi SSIDs) to determine if the user is in a particular location, such as working from home or located in a certain branch office, etc.

a. You can enter an Address
b. Use the Latitude and Longitude
c. Click on the map to automatically pick up the address
4. Enter the Radius and select if it will be in Meters, Miles, or Kilometers. The Radius determines how much radius (area) will be covered using the latitude and longitude as the center point. This is similar to the Error Radius in the Geolocation dashboard.
Optionally, enter a description for the location.
5. Optionally, enter a description for the location. At this point, you can click the Submit button and save the location. However, if you want to precisely track the users' locations using their network access points, you can continue with the next steps:
6. Click the Access Points tab.
7. Click the Add Access Point button to add an access point:
8. Enter a name for the Access Point.
9. Under the Access point name, you can specify different access points such as SSID, MAC Address, CIDR, and Public IP. Each of them has different levels of accuracy and purpose. For more information, check out this Knowledge Base article.
10. Click the Apply button to add the access point:
11. To add another access point, click the Add Access Point button.
12. To edit or remove an access point, click the Three Dots and select Edit Access Point or Remove Access Point.
