Role required: admin

About this task

There are two system properties which control how location tracking registers user activity in manual tracking mode. The values of both the conditions must be met to record a new location:

• glide.geolocation.proximity – This system property measures the minimum distance in meters that a user must move to be considered a new location. The default is 500 meters.
• glide.geolocation.tracking.frequency – This system property measures the amount of time in seconds when an update of the user’s location is recorded. The default is 300 seconds.

Note:

• Manual location tracking is only supported on the Mobile Agent app.
• Consider that the higher the frequency or proximity value the more drain on the battery of the user's device. These higher settings may also affect data protection and privacy of the user.
