Mobile Overview

Login

InEight Progress Mobile is a mobile application only and must be installed on an Apple iPad to be used. Once installed, you take the following steps to log in to the application:

Log into InEight Progress

  1. From the home screen, open the InEight Progress application.

  2. Enter the customer code for your organization.

  3. In the User Pin field, enter the password provided by your manager.

    • InEight Progress automatically syncs during the initial sign in. After syncing, the available projects assigned to the user are listed

Kiosk Mode

Progress Mobile allows multiple users to log in on the same device using Kiosk Mode, so that only one device is needed for multiple users to perform their daily activities.

  • Users can log in whether they have the same or differing roles

  • When a different user logs in, it does not affect the existing logged in user

  • The user logged in at the time will only see their own data

When you are using Kiosk Mode, a sync occurs automatically when you sign out.

You can also sync in the background while using the application. To sync in the background, open Settings, and then tap Enable background sync.

Kiosk Workflow

When a previous user logs out, the new user is presented with a login screen that includes a hyperlink to Sign in as different user.

Selecting the option to sign in as a different user will take you to a new login screen where you can input your email and sign in for the first time on the device.

Once you have logged in, the next time you use the device you can select your email from a drop-down list and then sign in.

Component Search

To search components in the mobile app, go to Quantities, and then select a task that has components. An icon labeled Recent components and the search components show. Tap Search components to search for all components under the selected task.

Project List

Navigating through InEight Progress is straightforward.  First, you select a project and then create and/or execute a daily plan. The following sections walk you through the process.

The project list shows all projects available for you. You must have the role of Superintendent, Engineer or Foreman assigned in the InEight cloud platform under Suite Administration > User Management, for a project to appear in the project list.
