Questions

Do I need an account for PDF tools?General

Public PDF and image tools work without an account. An account is needed for workspace, invoices, archive, and paid workflows.

General
Can I issue invoices for multiple companies?Invoicing

Yes. The workspace supports issuing companies and a shared customer address book.

Invoicing
Why is the QR code not generated?QR payments

QR payment needs valid IBAN, amount, currency, and payment identification. If IBAN is missing or invalid, the system should warn the user.

QR payments
How does bulk document generation work?PDF/document workflows

The user uploads a DOCX template with placeholders and Excel/CSV data. Each row creates its own document or package.

PDF/document workflows
Can the trip log be exported?Trip log

Yes. Monthly reports should be available as PDF and XLSX by vehicle, driver, and month.

Trip log
Does the app record every route automatically?Smart Trips

No. A route is recorded only when explicitly enabled or when the user starts a trip. Ignored detection should not store a detailed route.

Smart Trips
Can I start a trip manually?Smart Trips

Yes. The user can select a vehicle, tap start, end the trip, and add purpose, client, or project.

Smart Trips
How long are route points stored?Smart Trips

Route point retention should be configurable, typically 30 to 60 days. After expiry, only the accounting trip summary remains.

Smart Trips
Can attendance be corrected?Attendance

Yes. The employee can request a correction and the manager approves or rejects it. Changes are recorded in audit logs.

Attendance
Does the app track employees all day?Smart Presence GPS

No. Smart Presence should store only workplace enter/exit events during active work windows.

Smart Presence GPS
Is live GPS tracking enabled?Smart Presence GPS

Not as a default purpose. OnlineOffice is not meant to be a live employee tracking tool. Attendance works with event evidence.

Smart Presence GPS
When is location not collected?Smart Presence GPS

It should not be collected outside active work windows, during vacation, sick leave, public holiday, or approved absence.

Smart Presence GPS
Can employees see collected events?Smart Presence GPS

Yes. Employees should see attendance events, suggestions, and the option to request corrections.

Smart Presence GPS
Can Smart Presence be disabled?Smart Presence GPS

Yes. The module should be enabled according to workspace settings and device system permissions.

Smart Presence GPS
What is an audit trail?Enterprise / Control Center

An audit trail is the history of important actions: who changed what, when, and on which document, invoice, or process.

Enterprise / Control Center
What are approvals for?Enterprise / Control Center

Approvals block sensitive actions, such as invoices over a threshold or bank account changes, until an authorised person confirms them.

Enterprise / Control Center
Must the privacy policy mention GPS?Privacy & data

Yes, if the app uses location. The privacy policy and in-app disclosure should match actual app behaviour.

Privacy & data
How long should invoices and accounting records be retained?Invoicing

In Slovakia, accounting and tax documents are typically handled with a 10-year retention period. OnlineOffice therefore designs longer retention for invoices, XML/e-invoice outputs, audit events, and evidence packages; the exact setting should be confirmed by the customer with their accountant or tax adviser.

Invoicing
Can I keep an employee register in OnlineOffice?Privacy & data

Yes, where it is needed for a selected process such as onboarding, contract changes, attendance, or offboarding. The recommended principle is minimisation: store only necessary fields, restrict access by role, audit changes, and archive people who are no longer active.

Privacy & data
Why can the Android app request background location?Smart Presence GPS

Only for enabled modules that need it: Smart Presence for workplace geofence enter/exit events or Smart Trips during a clearly active trip mode. The app must not secretly collect location outside configured windows, absences, or disabled modules.
