Allow the field app's permissions once, when you clock in

The field app now asks for each phone permission only once. When you first sign in, it asks only for location while you use the app. When you clock in, it asks for everything else.

Before you start

You need the field app installed and a technician account.

Steps

1. Sign in to the field app.
2. On the setup screen, allow location While using the app, and allow notifications if your phone asks.
3. Tap Clock in at the start of your first shift.
4. Read the note about background location, then allow location All the time when your phone asks.
5. Allow physical activity and the battery setting when your phone asks.

Result / verify

You only see these requests once. After that, clocking in again does not ask you again, and every option on the setup screen stays visible.
