    As you said, you want to track location every-time user change status on location entity, you can do that customization or contact me.

    I think there is no way user can intimate crm application that they have changed the location, so its crm app responsibility to poll the current location of user. Now in that case if you automate the process you can have a crm job which will do that for you. Based on the shared code (above link) you can poll the user locations and display on a dashboard.

    Not a very neat solution however I don't see any other default way of doing this.

    Hi Pranav,

    I know this one but if I want automation then what is the solution? This solution is working on button. I don not need this one. Users are not going to do anything.

    Thank you
