The Skedulo mobile app settings options provide the resource with options to change preferences, save photos and auto-refresh job details.
Settings are available in the more options menu (accessible via the nav bar).
A resource can view and change their preferred notification method if required (this is the way in which they receive notifications to their mobile instrument). The options include SMS or push notifications.
The date and distance formats used in the Skedulo mobile app can be changed using the localization settings.
The auto-refresh switch allows a resource to control if they want to reload the data for a job, each time the job is opened. This is useful if multiple people are editing the details of a job, and they always need to have the latest information to hand.
The default setting is OFF.
The travel and navigation options in Skedulo enable mobile users to use their mobile's services to find their way to their jobs (e.g., Google Maps or Uber transport)–however, not all organizations require these services. Switching the skip navigation switch "ON" allows mobile users to skip the Skedulo navigation options.
The default setting is OFF.
When you take photos using Skedulo (to add as attachments to jobs) you may want to save a copy of the original images, locally, on your device. The save original photos switch controls if copies of the photos you take using the app are saved locally (ON), or not (OFF).
The default setting is ON.
Note
Some organizations do not allow images to be stored locally (for HIPAA compliance reasons). These permissions are set in the admin settings of the web app.

The settings panel also lets you specify if you only want to allow the application to upload attachments when on a Wi-Fi network or not. Turning this switch "ON" means that when you are on any other network than Wi-Fi, the attachments will not be shown, to avoid carrier costs.
Turning this setting on does not prevent users from downloading attachments to the mobile app.
The default setting is OFF.
The iCalendar functionality (iCal) allows a resource to view their jobs on their mobile device using a third-party calendar application that supports it. To copy the link for the iCalendar feed, click on the highlighted link provided. To help you get started, refer to the article referenced below, where this feature is explained in more detail.
