Authorizing the InSkill App

The first time you open the InSkill app, a short startup wizard introduces the app and asks for the permissions it needs. You then join your account and are ready to work.

You must be invited to an account before you can use the app. Each Technician receives an email invitation carrying everything needed to join: store download links, a personalized QR code, a Register InSkill button, and a user code.

Note

The QR code in this illustration is obscured on purpose. The code in your own invitation is personal to you — treat it as you would a password.

The Startup Wizard

1. The wizard opens with a welcome screen explaining what InSkill does. Press the arrow to continue.

   

2. The next screen explains that InSkill uses QR codes to reach information, tasks, and resources, and that this needs camera permission. Press the arrow to continue.

   

3. Press Allow when the device asks for camera access.

   

4. The wizard then offers to join you to an account.

   

Scanning the QR Code

This is the quickest way in, and the one to use whenever you are reading the invitation on a computer.

1. Press Scan QR Code.
2. Hold the phone or tablet so the code in the email fills the frame.
3. The app reads the code and takes you straight to the Welcome prompt — see Accepting the Account.

Nothing is typed, and the code carries your identity, so you arrive already matched to the right account and role.

The Other Ways to Join

All of them end at the same Welcome prompt.

Signing in with SSO

Sign In with SSO hands off to your organization's identity provider. Sign in there and you are returned to the app.

Entering a user code

The user code is printed at the bottom of the invitation. Copy it from the email and paste it into the field, then press the key to confirm.

Accepting the Account

1. The Welcome prompt asks you to accept joining the account. Press Accept and Continue.

   

2. To read the terms before accepting, press View Disclaimer.

   

   🚧

   Caution

   If you press Decline, the app is not authorized and you cannot use it.

3. A Register message confirms that you have joined, naming the account. Press Ok.

   

The wizard then finishes.

Joining Later

Skip on the wizard's join screen postpones joining. Until you join an account, the Products page explains what is missing and offers Join Account and Sign In with SSO.

Join Account gives every route on one screen: scan the code, sign in with SSO, or type the user code. It is also where you join an additional account later, reached from Menu > Settings > Accounts — see Settings.

Ready to Go

The home screen lists the products available to you, with Products, My History, and Search along the bottom. The app is ready to use.

Note

An Assets tab appears alongside them once you have opened an asset on this device. See Asset Page.

If you delete the InSkill app, you have to authorize again from the email invitation.
