Mobile App (Field Operator)

This article applies to versions 4.9 and later of Field Operator.

Note: Shift Log functionality is only available on Android tablet devices in Field Operator.

Field Operator:Shift Log for mobile devices retains the look and feel of the larger application, with some prioritisation of options to cater for the smaller screen size and offline capabilities.

The offline capabilities mean that Workbooks can be downloaded to the device while online, and entries can be created and saved in the downloaded Workbooks when the device is offline. The Workbooks, including the newly created entries, are synced back to the server when the device is next online.

Workbooks cannot be created or edited from the mobile verision of the Shift Log application, as there is no access to Workbook Studio.
