Use Fugara on Your Device
You can use Fugara in a browser on a computer, tablet, or phone. Installing it adds a convenient app shortcut; your company records still use the same account.
Find the page you need
Use the side menu for Dashboard, Calendar, Work Tracker, and Clients. On a narrow screen, choose the menu button at the top to open or close navigation. Open a client before choosing Overview, Work History, Invoices, Service Reports, or Monitoring.
In a single-client company, the site is selected for you. If you belong to several companies, check Active Company at the bottom of the menu before entering work. The person menu contains Companies and Logout. The Documentation link at the bottom of the app opens this guide.
Forms and lists adapt to the screen size. On a phone, a row may become a card, and Company Settings uses a section selector instead of tabs. Prev, Next, and the rows-per-page choice move through longer lists.
Install the app shortcut
Use the instructions Fugara displays for your device:
- If the banner offers Install app, select it and complete the browser's installation prompt.
- If the banner gives Safari instructions for a phone or tablet, open Share, choose Add to Home Screen, then Add. Keep Open as Web App enabled if offered.
- If the banner gives Safari instructions for a Mac, choose File > Add to Dock, then Add.
Open Fugara from the new shortcut and sign in if requested. Not now dismisses the installation banner for three days. If installation is not offered, you can continue using the browser.
Prepare for poor reception
Before arriving at a site with unreliable internet:
- Sign in on the device you will use for the visit.
- Select the correct company and client.
- Open the assigned work and Work Tracker while connected.
- Open any service-report draft you expect to edit.
- Check that saved changes have synchronized before leaving the connection.
Work Tracker can save tasks, mileage, materials, notes, and manual readings on that device. An opened service-report draft can also save edits there. Other pages and actions, including report preview, publication, email, invoices, and remote controls, need a connection. Installing the app does not make every feature available offline.
Understand saving and synchronization
Most forms need their Add, Save, or Save Edits button. Closing an ordinary form is not a substitute for saving. Work Tracker and report drafts also save locally as described on their pages.
| Status | What to do |
|---|---|
| Offline | Continue supported tracker or draft work on the same device |
| Waiting to sync | Keep the device's saved changes and reconnect |
| Needs attention or a sync error | Read the message, restore the connection, and retry |
| Server Up to Date | Tracker changes have reached Fugara |
Keep Fugara open when reconnecting so pending changes can upload. Check the report's status separately from the tracker. Until both have synchronized, avoid signing out, clearing browser data, or moving the work to another device.
Sign out when finished
Finish any tracking you intend to submit, allow pending tracker and report changes to synchronize, then choose Logout from the person menu. Closing the browser or app does not end a running task. Use End tracking when the work itself has finished.
Next: Dashboard and planning or Track work.
