Guide · For the field crew
Field app guide
Everything you record on the phone becomes the job's record and feeds the estimate. Here's how to record it.
1
Open the app on your phone
The field app runs in the phone's browser on any iPhone or Android phone. There's nothing to install.
- Open it in Safari or Chrome and sign in with your email and passkey.
- Add it to your home screen, and it opens like an app from then on.
2
Set the room with Now in
Tap Now in and choose the room you're standing in. Every photo and reading you take goes to that room until you change it.
3
Take, approve and discard photos
Each shot shows full screen with Approve and Discard before it is sent.
- An approved shot arrives in the job approved.
- A discarded shot is never sent or stored. Discard deletes it outright.
- iPhone photos are fine, including in the Moisture Map PDF.
Photos from your gallery, labeled in bulk
AvailablePhotos chosen from the gallery go through a labeling grid: who took it, the date taken, and the room. Send stays off until every photo is labeled.

Log readings, drying logs and equipment
- Moisture points, temperature, humidity and grains per pound, day by day.
- Photograph the meter and the reading is read from the photo.
- Record equipment as it's placed and removed, each with a photo.
- Drying Conditions are kept on the job.
5
Get forms signed, and log contents
- Work Authorization, Certificate of Completion, the visit sign-off and your company's own forms are signed on the phone.
- A photo of a form asks which room it belongs to, like any other photo.
- Contents items, boxes and locations are logged with the QR box scanner, or typed if a code won't scan.
6
Measure and draw rooms
Every phone can draw a room. Use whichever method your phone supports.
| Method | How | Phones |
|---|---|---|
| Draw | Room Type from a typed length and width, or Custom Draw corner by corner, snapping every 6 inches. | All |
| Laser Photo | Photograph your laser measure's reading. | All |
| Measure with Camera | Tap each floor corner. Confirm or type every wall length before Save Room turns on. | Browsers with floor tracking, such as Chrome on Android |
| Vynakro Scan Coming soon | An iPhone app. | iPhones with a depth scanner |
Ceiling height is typed. Turn angles and wall heights are always asked for, never assumed.

Work with no signal, and sign out safely
- Jobs are kept on the phone. Changes wait in a queue and send when the signal returns.
- One person edits a job at a time. An edit made offline to a job someone else holds waits, and sends when the job is free.
- Sign-out sends everything waiting first. With no signal it refuses and says why. Only after every item is confirmed does it clear the phone.
