GrowthTak CBF can capture a supervisor’s GPS location when they record a day entry, giving proof that the visit happened at the farm. This is off by default and is controlled per company.

​
Turning it on admin only

In Company Settings → GPS:

​
Capturing a location

When capture is enabled, the day entry form shows a location control:
1

Tap the location button

GrowthTak CBF asks your browser/phone for the current position (you may need to allow location access).
2

Wait for the fix

Capture times out after about 15 seconds. If it fails, you’ll see an error with a Retry option.
3

Review

The captured point gets a View map link. If accuracy is poorer than the threshold, you’ll see a warning — try again in a more open spot for a better fix.

​
In place vs Away

GrowthTak CBF compares the captured point to the farmer’s saved location and shows a geo status badge on the day entry:
For accurate distance checks, make sure each farmer has a precise geo location set on their record.

​
When “required” is actually enforced

Even with mode set to required, GrowthTak CBF only forces a location when it makes sense — for a supervisor on a mobile device, and only when the farmer has a saved location to compare against. In other cases (e.g. an admin on desktop, or a farmer with no saved location) the field gracefully falls back to optional, so legitimate entries are never blocked.
