Overview: Full Access
Logging in
When you first open the App, you will need to log in with the user name and password you have been assigned.
Once you 'Sign in' you will be asked to provide a four digit pin code. This prevents anyone from accessing the app on your phone whilst negating the need to complete your full sign in details each time you open it (unless you log out).
Once you have save your pin, you will be presented with the main jobs dashboard screen showing all allocated jobs (regardless of status) and any other appointments that affect your schedule.
They are displayed in date order with the most recent at the top.
From this screen you can select any of your allocated jobs to view further information.
Whilst you cannot amend details of the time, description or job address, you are able to change the job status and priority as well as update the custom fields and add notes.
