The phone app & no signal
FieldTec runs in the phone's browser and installs to the home screen. Opened once with signal, it keeps a copy of what you need so FLHAs, forms and reports can be filled in where there is no signal at all.

Step by step
7 featuresWhat the phone keeps
Your FLHA form, the company's forms, workers and sites, procedures and SDS, and your FLHAs from the last 7 days. It refreshes every time you open the Overview with signal. A green shield means it is ready.
Where: Overview (with signal)
Who can: Everyone
Working offline
With no signal the shield turns orange and says Offline. Fill in an FLHA, a form, an incident, an observation or an inspection; read procedures, SDS, quick reference and notices.
Where: Offline shield → field mode
Who can: Everyone
Uploading afterwards
As soon as there is signal, waiting items upload and get their number (CDH, FRM, INC, OBS or INS), or tap Upload now. Offline signatures show the phone time and the upload time.
Where: Field mode → Upload now
Who can: Everyone
Don't sign out with items waiting
Signing out deletes anything not yet uploaded. FieldTec stops you and asks you to type LOSE THEM if you really mean it.
Where: Profile menu → Sign Out
Who can: Everyone
Lock-screen notifications
Safety alerts, sign-offs waiting on you and more can pop up when FieldTec is closed. Turn it on per phone and choose groups in the Phone column.
Where: Edit Profile → Notifications

Photos made smaller first
Photos are resized on the phone to 2048 px before upload, about a tenth of the size, and retry by themselves if the signal drops.
Where: Any photo field
Who can: Everyone
