Mobile Device Login

...

To access IMMS using the Job Connect mobile client, a User will need the following:

...

  1. On your mobile device, click the Job Connect icon (shown above).  
  2. You will be presented with a Login page.
  3. Enter the URL for your IMMS Instance. Be sure to use "https://".
  4. Enter your Username.
  5. Enter your Password.
  6. Select the appropriate Authentication Provider. The authentication method will be specified as part of your new User Account request. If you have questions about your Authentication Provider, speak to your Instance Administrator.
    1. Common authentication options include internal authentication via an Instance-maintained list or authentication via your company's Active Directory list.
    2. The Username and Password fields may change based on your Authentication Provider selection.
  7. Tap Login.
  8. Job Connect supports two User Interface (UI) modes. Choose the correct mode for your work:
    1. Construction - Job Connect Construction (JCC) supports construction projects managed in IMMS. Because of the sequenced and interdependent nature of construction work tasks, JCC downloads and presents a more comprehensive set of project data than Job Connect Maintenance (JCM). Users navigate the JCC data via a drawings-based user interface, and project-specific work (i.e., Cases and Sequenced Tasks) is tied to the System Elements included within a design Drawing Set.
      1. When Construction Mode is selected, the application will prompt you to select the desired Project(s) from a list of All Projects. See Job Connect Construction (JCC) Mode User Interface for more information on Project data selection.
    2. Maintenance - Job Connect Maintenance (JCM) supports operations and maintenance projects managed in IMMS. Maintenance projects typically consist of predefined and scheduled tasks based on a preventive maintenance (PM) strategy and/or on-demand remedial or corrective tasks based on unplanned or unscheduled circumstances. In IMMS/Job Connect, this maintenance work is represented by PM Tasks, Work Tickets, or Cases, all of which can be assigned to responsible parties and performed independent of other active work. Given the nature of maintenance work, JCM only needs to download the data set related to the active Users' assigned work.
      1. When Maintenance Mode is selected, the application will prompt you to Select Strategy. Choose the option that best suits your present operational needs:
        1. Load All Work - All available work from the associated Instance will be downloaded to your device.  This synchronization may take a considerable time to complete, depending on how many records have been created and/or updated since your last download.
        2. Load My Work - Only the work assigned to you will be downloaded to your device. 
  1. Based on your data selection, the application will synchronize your mobile device. Job Connect will display a progress bar. Depending on your data selection, the device synchronization could take from a few minutes to half an hour or more. It is recommended that you download only the data related to your current work.
  2. Once the requested data is loaded, you will be taken to the Job Connect main page. This landing page will vary based on the UI Mode selected. See Job Connect Construction (JCC) Mode User Interface and/or Job Connect Maintenance (JCM) Mode User Interface for more information and guidance.
