Using IronSight outside of Cell Service

IronSight will work in and out of cell service.  Here are some details about how that works, and how you can ensure your job information saves properly.  Here are some do's and don'ts:

Do's Dont's 
  • Do log in and go on duty while in good service
    • All data will be loaded and stored in temporary memory until you log out again
  • Do proceed with completing the job and adding details even when outside service area's. 
    • The system will save your changes to temporary memory, and upload them to IronSight when you enter service again later.  
  • Do minimize the app when you aren't looking at it
  • Don't kill the app when you are out of service 
  • Don't log out or close the app.
    • Doing so will clear all the memory from your device and your job updates may not save.
  • Don't try to log in while outside service area's
    • The data you need will fail to load

    Going Off Duty and Logging Out

    When you have finished your work day, you can go off duty to stop the location tracking.

    • Complete or pause all jobs you are active on
    • At the bottom of the screen tap X to go off duty
    • To log out, tap the More icon at the bottom right side of the screen
    • Log out
      • If Logout is greyed out, you may still be on an active job or "on duty" in your resource and must complete/pause a job and go off duty before you can log out.
