Many centres share tablets between educators. With Shared Device Login, you simply choose your name and enter your PIN – and every checklist, incident and ticket is still recorded under your name. Less time logging in, more time with the children.
The first time you use the device
1. Open the 1Place app on the centre's device. If it isn't already signed in as your centre, ask your manager to sign in with your centre's username and password.
2. On Find a user, search for your email address and select your name.
3. Your email or username is already filled in. Enter your password and tap Log In.
4. When Set Up PIN appears, click Set Up Now and create your six-digit PIN.
Every time after that
1. Click your name in the list – recent users are at the top.
2. Enter your PIN.
When you're finished
Tap the exit icon in the top-right corner. You'll be asked End Session or Log Out?
Choose… | What happens | Use it when |
End Session | You stay on the list. Next time, tap your name and enter your PIN. | You'll use this device again – most days |
Log Out | Your name is removed from this device. Next time you'll sign in with your password and set a new PIN. | You won't be using this device again (e.g. moving centres) |
Good to know
The app locks after 3 minutes without use. Enter your PIN to carry on where you left off – nothing is lost.
Other people aren't affected. Logging out only removes your name; everyone else stays on the list.
Drafts stay on this device, just as they do today.
No internet? You can keep working offline, but no one else can sign in until the device reconnects.
Name not on the list? Ask your manager to check your profile has access to the shared device and to this centre.
You can still use your own device and sign in with your own details at any time.
