You will be presented with a few dialog boxes asking you to allow access to the device's location and files on the device. These are required to make the application work on the device. Please select ALLOW on both dialog boxes to get started

At this point, the app will only provide the following functionality:

After registering the tablet to a specific Farm, a screen similar to what is displayed below will be presented. To sign in, enter your password and select the SIGN IN button.

Notes:

  • The tablet must be connected to the internet the first time a new user signs into the tablet

  • After this, the tablet does not need to be online

If you are the only user of the tablet on the farm or would prefer to use a single user's credentials and avoid having to sign in each time, select the "Remember me" checkbox. This will store the user credentials and open to the Home Screen without a sign in screen when the app is opened. 

To change this setting so each authorized user is required to sign in every time the application is opened, select the overflow menu (3 vertical dots at the top right) and select logout. The next time the application is opened, it will show a screen similar to what is displayed below except the email field will be blank.
