Geoverify code not accurate?
We contacted Sassie reporting that several shoppers are saying that they are in the parking lot, but the code is saying that they are very far away.
Sassie has reported the following:
"the location embedded into any given GV code is only as good as the information that the device itself supplies to the server. The GV app doesn't do locating itself; it just asks the phone 'where are you' and the phone sends the coordinates it thinks it is at to the server, where those are stored under a code. So, if the device doesn't have a good location for itself for some reason, that would be reflected. Sometimes the phone's location can be improved by not using wifi. "

WHAT IS A GENERIC NARRATIVE?
A generic narrative is one that could be used for any shop report! If you use the '5 W's and 1H' (Who, What, Where, Why, When & How), you will not be contacted by our editors to provide clarity to your report. Please contact your scheduler if you need assistance with this.

Recently, ADOBE FLASH was disabled in most browsers (this was done by Chrome and Firefox) because it wasn't up-to-date enough. Updating Flash plugin to the latest version allows it to be re-enabled. This may be the problem since the photo uploader uses FLASH. You can download the latest version of FLASH from this link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

On the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays of each month at 9 PM EST, SASSIE and ATHENA systems will be taken offline for maintenance, performance enhancements and security measures for UP TO 90 minutes.
While we all recognize that these maintenance periods are inconvenient for all, they are becoming increasingly vital to the performance, stability and security of our system.
