Viewing the Zoom Phone location tracking dashboard
It is possible to access emergency location tracking data for the entire account or a specific site through the Zoom Phone location tracking dashboard. By viewing metrics, you will be able to see how many phone users have opted in or opted out of sharing their locations in the past. This refers to the fact that there are clients who have the option of allowing or disallowing “share my location for emergency calls”. Using the drill-down feature, you are able to find out which users have opted in and which ones have not.
This dashboard can also be used to re-trigger the pop-up that appears to all or some users with no opt-in to the location tracking, so that they are asked for permission in order to track their location.
Note:
There may be a delay in showing newly updated data on this dashboard due to recent updates. It may take several hours for an update to be completed in some cases.

Dashboard sections and metrics
As part of the nomadic emergency services dashboard, you will be able to access the following sections and metrics.
Nomadic Emergency Services
This page displays a percentage of users that have enabled nomadic emergency services as part of their profile. The policy settings can be enabled at the site-level (if your account has multiple sites) or at the account-level (if you have multiple accounts).
- It is possible to view a list of phone users who have been enabled or disabled for nomadic emergency services by clicking Details or by hovering over a portion of the pie chart in which case you will click Drill in.
Users Permission for Location Sharing
In the Zoom desktop client, this column displays the percentage of users who have enabled nomadic emergency services and have allowed location sharing to be used. Therefore, once the user enabled nomadic emergency services, he or she clicked Allow when prompted to authorise Zoom access to their location by Zoom after enabling nomadic emergency services.
- When the pie chart is shown in Details, click a portion of it and then click Drill in to see a list of the phone users that have allowed or disallowed location sharing for their apps. It is possible to re-trigger the prompt for users who do not wish to share their location with others.
Default Emergency Address
Contains a percentage of users who have provided a default personal emergency address rather than using the default site address or default account address as their primary address for emergencies.
- You can view a list of phone users that provided or did not provide a default personal emergency address by clicking Details or hovering over a portion of the pie chart, then clicking Drill in from the list of phone users.
Detectable Personal Location
Share of users with at least one detectable personal location, as well as network data associated with this location, is shown. It means that the phone user is either in a detectable location you added, or they added a personal emergency address to a network and confirmed that address for the network to record it as a personal emergency address.
- To view a list of phone users who have or do not have a detectable personal location, click Details, hover over a portion of the pie chart and then click Drill in.
Real-time Location for Users / Real-time Location for IP Phones
Shows the percentage of the number of desk phones or phone users that are currently detected to be at a known location as a result of a detection. To appear on this dashboard section, phone users must have the Zoom desktop client open on their computer and be signed in to their account in order to appear on this chart.
- In order to view a list of the phone users or desk phones in the pie chart, click Snapshot, hover over a portion of the pie chart, then click Drill in. The top-left corner of the window has a drop-down menu which allows you to choose one of the following filters:
- Company Locations: Users in a detectable location in the organization will be displayed on the list of phone users or desk phones.
- Personal Locations: If a phone or desk phone is located in a detectable location, it will be displayed for phone users or desk phones.
- Unknown Locations: If a phone user or desk phone is not in a detectable location, then display the number. To perform one of the following tasks, click Edit Location in the right-side column of the screen:
-
- Assign the emergency address from the network data to the existing address that is already associated with the network
- Assign the new location to the network data and define a new description for it
