Because the web app runs in a web browser, your workshop team will need to be initially sent the link by a contributor in order to gain access to the Gearbelt Mechanic Web app - where you’ll find schedules, repair forms, fault records and work orders.
We recommend saving this link to your home screen the first time you get it, so it’s easy to open whenever you need it.
To save the link to your home screen, follow these steps:
1. Get the Workshop Web app link. You should get it via SMS - see here the process
2. Click the link. It will open the Web app
iOS:
Safari:
1. Select the share icon
2. From there, select 'Add to Home Screen'
3. This will create a shortcut in your Apps section specifically for this Web App link. You can name it whatever you prefer - in this example, I've called it Gearbelt. If you work with multiple companies, you can add the company name. Click 'Add' to finalise
4. You're all set - you now have a direct access to the Workshop Web app
Chrome:
Same process as for Safari, the only difference will be to save to Home Screen. You will need to select the Share icon in the right corner of the URL bar:

Firefox:
1. Select the share icon in the right corner of the URL bar
2. From there, select 'Add to Home Screen'

4. This will then add your shortcut to your Home Screen
