Logging In
Logging in to the mobile app automates tasks, for example, starting a shift, in which a timesheet record is created to mark the technicians time of arrival and the fact the technician is now available to carry out repairs.
Logging in also helps identify the technician and is a way to distinguish the workforce, allowing work allocation, and allows for security and permissions to be applied to the technician.

TECH TIP! - When logging in to a device for the first time after installation, you need to enable the app features as prompted by the device. For example, push notifications, location tracking and access to the device's camera.
Enabling services
If you decline any of these upon initial prompt, you can access the app's settings through the device and adjust your selection.
