In addition to the mobile app, ANVL can be accessed directly through a web browser. This option is ideal for fixed facilities, shared workstations, kiosks, and desktop-based users.

Most functionality mirrors the mobile experience, with a few key differences noted below.


Answer

You can launch and complete ANVL workflows through a supported web browser using Single Sign-On (SSO). The browser version provides the same workflows, assignments, concerns, and Vault access as mobile, optimized for larger screens.


Steps

Access ANVL in a Browser

Users can launch ANVL from one of the following:

  1. Log in to Benchmark Gensuite and select ANVL Workflows from the My Home page.

  2. Open the Apps menu and search for ANVL Workflows.

  3. Navigate directly to workflows.anvl.com

ANVL opens in a new browser tab and automatically signs users in (SSO supported).

Note: ANVL Insights (Manager Dashboard) is a separate experience and covered in other training.


Browser Navigation

Instead of mobile tiles, the browser version uses a left-side navigation panel:

  • Workflows – Start and complete procedures

  • Assignments – View required and recurring workflows

  • My ANVL Dashboard – Log and track concerns

  • Vault – Access reference documents and content

  • Support – Help Center and support resources

The expanded layout uses more screen space, making it well suited for desktops and kiosks.


Workflows in the Browser

Workflows function the same as on mobile:

  • Step-by-step guided experience

  • Dynamic questions and conditional logic

  • Fully customizable per organization

  • Time- and date-stamped responses

Workflow availability is dynamic and depends on:

  • User permissions

  • Site or location selection

  • Organizational configuration


Incident & Data Capture

The browser experience supports:

  • Text-based responses

  • Dropdowns and classifications

  • File and photo uploads (from device)

  • Conditional follow-up questions

Since browsers cannot take photos directly, users upload images instead of capturing them live.


Incident Management Integration

Workflows completed in the browser (such as First Reports of Incident) automatically create records in Benchmark Gensuite Incident Management.

This allows EHS and operations leaders to:

  • Review incident details immediately

  • Add photos, investigations, and corrective actions

  • Continue follow-up without re-entering data
