Quick Access: Admin Setup Guide

Create form shortcuts for equipment, ensuring your common forms are just a tap away.

Updated over a month ago

What is Quick Access?

Quick Access allows you to configure up to 3 commonly-used forms per equipment category that appear as shortcuts on mobile devices. This eliminates the need for field workers to hunt through the entire form library for routine inspections and maintenance tasks.

For example, if your vehicles require regular vehicle checks, you can set those forms as Quick Access options. Workers will see these forms immediately when they open an equipment profile, making it faster to complete routine work.


How Quick Access Helps Your Team

Quick Access streamlines mobile workflows by:

  • Providing immediate access to the most commonly used forms

  • Auto-populating equipment fields to reduce data entry

  • Consolidating navigation into a single "Quick Access" button

  • Saving time on routine inspections and maintenance tasks

Setting Up Quick Access Forms

Quick Access is configured at the equipment category level. Once configured, all equipment items within that category will automatically inherit the Quick Access settings.

Step-by-Step Configuration

  1. Log in to the Admin Console.

  2. Navigate to EquipmentSettings.



  3. Select the category for which you want to set up Quick Access forms (e.g., Compactors, Vehicles).

  4. Click Edit Properties.

  5. Scroll down to the Quick Access section in the Technical Details area.

  6. Click the Add button to open the form selection interface.

  7. Use the search box to find and select a form from your form library.

  8. (Optional) Add a custom Display Name (up to 32 characters) - this is what workers will see on their mobile devices.

  9. Click Save or Add to confirm.

  10. Repeat steps 6-9 to add up to 3 forms per category.

Reordering Quick Access Forms

The order in which forms appear on mobile devices can be customised:

  1. In the Quick Access section, use the drag-and-drop handles to reorder your forms.

  2. The top form will appear first on mobile devices, followed by the second and third.

  3. Click Save to apply the new order.

Best Practices for Configuration

Selecting the Right Forms

Choose forms that your team uses most frequently for that equipment category:

  • Daily or weekly inspection forms

  • Pre-start checklists

  • Routine maintenance forms

  • Compliance documentation

Tip: Ask your field workers which forms they access most often for each equipment type.

Note: If you select a scheduled form (like a Pre-start), completing it will mark the To-Do List form as completed for that day.


Managing and Updating Quick Access Forms

Editing Quick Access Settings

To modify your Quick Access configuration:

  1. Navigate to EquipmentSettings.

  2. Select the relevant category.

  3. Click Edit Properties.

  4. Scroll to the Quick Access section.

  5. Make your changes (add, remove, or reorder forms).

  6. Click Save.

Changes take effect immediately and will be reflected on mobile devices the next time workers access an item of equipment in that category.

Removing a Quick Access Form

  1. In the Quick Access section, locate the form you want to remove.

  2. Click the remove or delete icon next to that form.

  3. Click Save.

Moving Equipment Between Categories

When equipment is moved to a new category, it immediately inherits that new category's Quick Access settings. The old category's Quick Access forms will no longer appear for that equipment item.


Important Notes

Configuration Limitations

  • Maximum forms: 3 forms per equipment category

  • Configuration level: Category level only (not individual equipment items)

  • Platform: Quick Access is a mobile-only feature and does not appear in the web interface

  • Required access: Admin or Manager role required to configure Quick Access

Permissions and Security

All existing form permissions and security restrictions continue to apply with Quick Access:

  • Workers will only see Quick Access forms they have permission to access and complete

    • E.g. If a user group is configured for that form, and the worker is not in that user group, that form will not be displayed.

  • Form-level permissions are enforced automatically

  • Changes to form permissions are immediately reflected in Quick Access

Compatibility

Quick Access is not a breaking change:

  • All previous functionality remains accessible

  • The "Create Task" and "Form Library" options are still available through the Quick Access button

  • Existing workflows continue to function as before
