1. Difference between mobile apps & web version

The features we offer on a browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox & Safari) are also available as Android & iOS apps in the Google PlayStore and Apple's app store. However, the staff app is only offering limited features compared with the web version.

The terminal apps are part of the time tracking section and features a login mask to set sharp a pin field used by staff to track their work time and offers exactly the same features as the web version.

Especially if you want to take advantage of the latest features of Staffomatic or the staff app for some reason does not work properly, it is the best choice to setup your Staffomatic account as an app. It is very easy to do so as shown in this article.

2. Retrieving the links

Finding access to your account is easy.

1. Head to staffomatic.com/en/login
2. Put your e-mail address
3. Chose one account from the list and enter your password
4. Alternatively wait for e-mail notifications from hello@staffomatic.com and click a link inside.

Getting setup the terminal is very little more tricky.

Imagine you are taking over staff computer, you will need to get the link either by sending it via e-mail or you login to your account (not saving login data) and open the terminal from the time tracking section. 

If you wanna setup the terminal on a mobile device without use of iOS or Android app, it is easiest to just type the URL reading from a computer or note.

3. Setup on Android

It is necessary to retrieve the link as described above.

Depending on the browser you are using on your phone or tablet the term used for the same function is different:

• Chrome & Firefox: 3-dot-menu "kebab", add to Home screen, set a short name e.g. "terminal" or "schedule".
• Edge: 3-dot-menu "kebab", add to screen, set a short name e.g. "terminal" or "schedule".
• More browsers are not supported until now, but most likely work the same way.

If you want to use the terminal web version, it can happen that the device will fall asleep. You can avoid this by telling your device to leave the device active permanently. This can help when trying to setup e.g. an iPad at the entrance and you want it to show the terminal pin field all the time.

1. You need to activate dev ops on your phone.
2. Open settings
3. Software information
4. Identify the built number and tap it seven times quickly in a row
5. Move back to settings and scroll down to dev ops.
6. You can now chose between staying active or activating sleep mode.

Through this setting your device will stay active and will only switch to standby when tapping the power button.
Please make sure your device is connected to a socket.

4. Setup on Apple's iOS

It is necessary to retrieve the link as described above under 2.

With Apple's iOS, only websites opened in the Safari browser can be added to the home screen.

1. Open Safari and access your account or enter the terminal link
2. Tap the sharing icon (little square with up-arrow)
3. Scroll down and chose "Add to home screen"
4. A new window opens asking you to chose a name like "terminal" or "schedule"
5. Top right it is necessary to confirm action by clicking "add".

If you want to use the terminal web version, it can happen that the device will fall asleep. You can avoid this by telling your device to leave the device active permanently. This can help when trying to setup e.g. an iPad at the entrance and you want it to show the terminal pin field all the time.

1. Open the settings
2. Display & brightness
3. Deactivate auto lock (or chose time)

Now your Apple device will not fall asleep unless you tab the standby button. Hence, make sure it is connected to a socket.
