FieldOps
1. Get the app, or open it in a browser
FieldOps runs on Android phones and tablets, on iPhone and iPad, and in any modern browser. Use a phone in the field: the phone apps are the ones that keep working without a signal.
- Phone: see Download for the store links.
- Computer: open app.fieldopsinc.com.
2. Register with your phone number
- On the sign-in screen, tap Don't have an account? Sign Up.
- Enter your full name and choose a username: it is how people find and mention you (for example
@amina_bello). - Add your email address and position if you like. Both are optional, but the email is how we reply to problems you report.
- Enter your mobile number with its country code. We text you a six-digit code; type it in. On many Android phones the code is read for you.
That is the whole sign-up. Nobody has to approve your account. Next time, and on any other device, just enter the same number on the sign-in screen and type the code we send.
No code arriving?Check the number and country code,
wait a minute, then ask for a new code. In a browser you may be asked to
tick a "not a robot" check first.
3. Finish your profile
Tap your picture at the top of the home screen to open your profile.
- Photo helps your team recognise you on the timeline, in chats and on live trips.
- Position (for example "Site engineer") shows next to your name.
- Email is optional, but add it if you skipped it at sign-up and want replies to problems you report.
4. Find your way around
The home screen has three tabs along the bottom:
| Tab | What is there |
|---|---|
| Projects | Your projects and groups, ordered by recent activity, and any invitations waiting for you. |
| Messages | Your conversations, status updates from your contacts, and the button for a new message, group or broadcast. |
| Calls | Your call history, the dialpad, and group calls. |
At the top are search (groups, projects and people) and the bell for your notifications. A small dot on your picture shows whether you are online or offline.
5. Allow what the field needs
FieldOps asks for each permission when a feature first needs it:
- Location for the map, form GPS stamps, navigation and trips.
- Camera and microphone for photos, video, voice notes and calls.
- Notifications so messages, calls and mentions reach you.
- Contacts (optional) to see which of your contacts already use FieldOps.
Next: create your first project.
