Notes

  1. ‘Don’t Allow’ is not part of the Location Services re-prompt. The user must go into System Preferences to deny access after the initial prompt.
  2. ELIN configuration can be done at the AP, Facility and Global level. The ELIN used depends on the configuration.
  3. The last known location is based on the last reported AP location for the user, or the user's home facility if no location has ever been reported.
