Authorising the device token

 

To authorise the device token, you will need to login to the main application and go to the Mobile Device List view found under Menu >  Maintenance module:

 

Menu_MobileDeviceList

 

The mobile device list is split into two panels; Approved Devices and Unapproved Devices.

 

Selecting the grey tick from the Unapproved Devices list  will authorise the device:

 

DeviceList_ApproveTick

 

The user will then need to activate the device from the Approved Devices list then navigate to the module tab e.g. Cleaning and give access to the module:

 

DeviceList_ActivateToken

 

Note, in the Cleaning & Task Management tab, you can opt to activate or deactivate the Auto Download flag.

 

When Auto Download is set to Yes, when the user logs in to the mobile application, the download process will automatically download all the outstanding audits/tickets that are allocated to the user including all their child records e.g. rooms, elements, survey links, etc.

 

When Auto Download is set to No, when the user logs in to the mobile application, the download process will only download the audit group/ticket information initially. Then when a user clicks on the audit group/ticket, the app will then fetch the rest of the audit/ticket information and child records that are assigned to the selected record.

Updating / Clearing the device token

 

Once a device token is created and saved, any changes to the device settings will require the user to type in a Mobile Pin Code (if it has been set up in the System Parameters).

 

To clear the device setting / token on the mobile application, go to Settings > Cache Settings page and check the Device Settings / Token option.

 

Once checked, click on the red Clear Cached Data button. This should bring up the Pin Required dialog.

 

MobileSettings_ClearCacheMobileSettings_PinCode

 

 

Type the Mobile Pin Code and click on the OK button.

The mobile application should save all the changes once a valid pin code is typed in.
