Security & Privacy
Access is limited to Truss users
The app is not available to clients
Scanned documents are not saved locally on your device; they are uploaded directly to Truss
QR codes expire after two minutes and are automatically refreshed to protect project access
Troubleshooting
The QR code isn’t working or has expired
Refresh the Mobile Upload page to generate a new QR code
Make sure you scan it within two minutes
The app doesn’t open when I scan the QR code with my camera
Confirm you tapped the link that appears after scanning
Truss Scanner is installed on your device
My document isn’t attached to the right task
Check the project’s unassigned documents section
Manually move the file to the correct task if AI didn’t find a match
Issue with uploading files
If there’s an error uploading the file, an alert will appear in the bottom-right of the upload page and you’ll be able to retry the upload
If that still doesn’t work, try logging out of the project or restarting the app
