This is a quick recap on how to make sure your employees can install and access the Crew Console app. There are three ways to do it, depending on how you roll the app out to your crews.
Option 1 Use the QR Code
From the admin login page, you can download the Crew Console login QR code. Print it and post it in your office or shop.
Employees can scan the QR code with their phone or iPad. It takes them directly to the app install page. From there, they sign in using either their email if they are staff or their PIN if they are field employees.
This is a good option for onboarding people in person.
Option 2 Email the Login Link
You can copy the login link and email it to employees in the field. This works well for office staff or crews using company iPads.
When emailing the link, make sure to include their login credentials. Staff will need their email and password. Field employees will need their PIN.
Option 3 Text the Login Link to Individual Employees
Crew Console also allows you to text the login link directly to employees.
While there is an option to text everyone at once, this is not recommended if you are rolling the app out gradually.
The best approach is:
- Go to Employees and Staff
- Open Active Employees
- Make sure the employee has a valid phone number and PIN
- Click Login Link next to their name
This sends a text message to that employee with your company’s login link and their PIN. They can tap the link, install the app, and sign in immediately.
Recommended Rollout Approach
Texting the login link to individual employees gives you the most control. You can onboard crews one at a time without confusing employees who are not ready to use the app yet.
