Installing and signing in

How a surveyor or operative installs the capture app, signs in, and — if they work for more than one organisation — switches between profiles.

What it is

The capture app supports two ways of signing in, set up for you by your organisation’s admin: an email and password, or a tenant login (an organisation code, a username or code, and a passcode) for surveyors who don’t hold an email account. Where your organisation uses single sign-on, staff accounts sign in with their corporate identity instead — see SSO end to end.

How to do it

Option A — you have an email account

  1. Install the app and open it.
  2. Enter your email and password, then tap Sign in.
  3. Your assigned jobs appear in your inbox.

Option B — you have a tenant login

  1. Install the app and open it.
  2. Enter the organisation code, your username/code, and your passcode — all provided by your organisation’s admin.
  3. Tap Sign in.

Working for more than one organisation

  1. Sign in to your first organisation as above.
  2. From the account menu, choose Add another profile and sign in with the second organisation’s details.
  3. Switch profiles at any time from the account menu. Each profile is scoped to one organisation — you only ever see the jobs, data and settings of the profile you’re currently in.

How it integrates

  • A forced MFA enrolment or a forced password change can appear immediately after sign-in if your organisation requires it — this is a one-time gate, not a repeating prompt.
  • A lost or compromised device can be cut off centrally: an admin can revoke your sessions from Settings → My account (their view) or Members, which signs the app out on its next connection.
  • After your first sign-in, the app works offline — see Working offline and syncing.

Common problems

  • Forgotten your tenant passcode. There is no self-service reset for a tenant login — your organisation’s admin resets it from the portal.
  • The app asks you to change your password before doing anything else. This is expected the first time you sign in with a password issued by your organisation, or after an admin has reset it.
  • You can’t find a job you were expecting. Confirm you’re signed into the correct organisation profile — jobs never appear across profiles.
