Installing and updating the field app
Download the SWM field app for Android, install it, and keep it up to date.
The field app runs on Android phones. It is not on the Play Store: you download it from your Block's staff web.
Install
On a computer or the phone, sign in to the staff web and open Field app in the menu. On a computer, scan the QR code with the phone's camera.
Tap the download button. If the phone asks, allow your browser to install unknown apps.
Updates
When a newer version is published, the app says so when you open it. Tap Update now to download it, then Install. Records saved on the phone are kept. Later asks again next time you open the app.
If the app shows Update required, your version can no longer send records. Tap Update app; records waiting on the phone are sent after updating.
Phones with version 0.6.0 or older
Versions before 0.6.1 do not check for updates by themselves. Update them once from the Field app page; from then on the app tells you.
Profile and settings
The person icon on the home screen opens settings: the app's language, its version, whether data on the phone is encrypted, and Sign out. Signing out keeps unsent records for your next sign-in.
