edMesh allows District and School Admins to configure the disabling of location tracking for all devices, ensuring privacy for staff and students. This setting can be found in the Partner, District, and School consoles, and its configuration depends on where it is enabled. Here’s a step-by-step guide to disabling or enabling location tracking from your edMesh School Dashboard.
Important Notes
- When location tracking is disabled, the location tracking display will be hidden from all relevant dashboards.
- Location tracking for any device enrolled in MG dashboards will be prohibited.
- Schools under Districts cannot configure this setting independently from the District.
