Overview

One of the easiest mistakes to make when first logging into the Avantalytics mobile interface is to opt out of providing the site with access to your GPS location on your phone. Unfortunately, its only later when users realize they cannot get access to store-specific information due to this choice. Below is a step-by-step for how to undo this on an Android phone using Google Chrome.

1.) Open a new Chrome browser window.

2.) Once it opens, click the browser options – this is usually either three vertical bars at the top right of the window or three dots.

3. ) Click on the browser options, and you should see something similar to the screenshot on the right.

On the next screenshot on the right – you should look for “Location”.  When you find it click this option so we can edit which  individual permissions to re-enable Avantalytic’s site to use your gps location service.


Now, you should see several an option for overall settings labeled “Location” – make sure this is set to “Ask before accessing”.

Once that is set there will be two lists below – “Blocked” and “Allowed”.  We want to go to blocked so we can remove the block on Avantalytics – so click on it and you should see www.avantalytics.com as one of the options – tap on this and you should see that the permissions is currently set to “BlocK”.  

Just below it you will see a “Clear and Reset” button – click this to reset it, it will ask you to confirm this.

Once you’ve done this, you may exit the settings and re-open Avantalytics Mobility.  This time when you see the message to permit access  to your GPS settings – choose allow always.  From here on out you should be good to go.
