In the above example CenPoint thinks Bruce Wayne was 63 miles away from where he was supposed to be. We are going to Click Modify to open the Field Ticket to take a closer look.
Click on Map on the Field Ticket to Map Status or Map Address
Click on the icons on the map to show the time stamps. In this example Bruce only had 5 minutes of time on the Field Ticket and all of his statuses are approximately in the same location. The resolution on this violation was he started driving and the job got cancelled so yes he was not on the job site when he clicked arrived and departed, he was 63 miles away, but there is a good excuse as the job cancelled ;) He was however .5 miles from the shop so his started and completed are correct.
