Quick Start Activities
Start a pre-set activity in one tap from the app, or with a single command from a GPS device.
Quick Start lets your workers begin a check-in activity without filling in the New Activity screen. An administrator links Quick Start to an activity type. Workers then tap Quick Start on the Home screen, or send #start from their GPS device, and that activity begins straight away.
Before you start
- Quick Start is available to every organisation, but an administrator has to set it up before workers can use it.
- Activity types that need approval or include a risk assessment can’t be used for Quick Start.
- You can set up two Quick Starts: one for the mobile app and one for GPS devices. Each one links to a single activity type.
Set up Quick Start (administrators)
- In the administrator dashboard, go to Activity Types.
- Click Quick Start at the top of the screen.
- Choose the activity type to use for the mobile app, the GPS device, or both.
- Save your changes.

Use Quick Start
- In the app: Tap Quick Start on the Home screen. If the activity type has a Pre-Start screen, it will still show before the activity begins.
- On a GPS device: Send the
#startcommand to begin the GPS Quick Start activity.
