1) Use the photo share extension for quick and easy uploading
The photo share extension allows you to import photos from your device’s camera roll directly into Buildertrend without ever having to even open the app. You simply select the photos you want and immediately import them into a specific Buildertrend job folder using the share button on your device.
2) Customize your home screen setup
Buildertrend mobile app users can customize their home screen cards and the order in which they show on their device. This means that each user has the ability to create a mobile app home screen that works best and is most efficient for them and their role. This is a great way for each of your team members to personalize the app experience for what they need. Most home screen cards are also linked directly to each feature, so they can be used for fast navigation.
3) Navigate the app efficiently with quick actions
Added quick actions have been implemented to allow users to move around Buildertrend’s mobile app with ease. From the home screen, users can simply click the plus icon to see a list of these quick actions. Using this function helps users save time by allowing them to start a workflow for certain items directly from the home screen.
4) Easily track hours with the Time Clock widget
The Time Clock widget is available in our mobile app. Once the widget has been manually added to the home screen, it will provide a high-level view of each user’s current Time Clock shift. This will allow users to quickly gauge the current status of their shift, which includes time clocked in or out, time spent on breaks, total time clocked in and accruing overtime.
5) Quickly record information with talk to text
Talk to text is a fantastic, convenient trick available on almost all mobile devices. For any text input, simply click the microphone icon within your keyboard and begin talking. The tool will take your words and transcribe them, eliminating the need to type. This feature is great for users who are doing job site walkthroughs. As they talk about what they’re seeing, their words will be captured as text within feature such as Daily Logs.
