📖 Overview
Long-press the digiQC app icon on your Android or iOS home screen to open a menu of four quick actions. Each one takes you straight to a screen — so you can start an inspection, raise an instruction, fill a register, or open a to-do list without navigating through the app.
🧭 How to use
Press and hold the digiQC app icon on your phone's home screen.
A menu of four shortcuts appears.
Tap the one you need:
- Start New Inspection — opens a new inspection form - Raise New Instruction — opens a new instruction form - Fill Register — opens the Register on the web app - Inspection To Do — opens your inspection to-do list
If you're not logged in, you'll sign in first and then land on the right screen.
❓ FAQ
1. What do the four shortcuts do?
Start New Inspection and Raise New Instruction open the new forms directly; Fill Register opens the Register on the web app; Inspection To Do opens your inspection pending list.
2. The shortcut menu doesn't appear when I long-press — why?
Make sure you press and hold the app icon itself. Very old Android or iOS versions don't support app shortcuts — in that case the menu won't show, but the app still works normally when you open it.
3. I'm not logged in — where does a shortcut take me?
To the login screen first, and then straight to the shortcut's destination — not the home screen.
4. Why did "Fill Register" open my web browser?
Fill Register opens the digiQC web app (app.digiqc.com) on your first project's Register tab, where you can add or fill register logs.
5. "Fill Register" shows an empty or "no project" screen — why?
You don't have a project assigned yet. Ask your admin to add you to a project.
6. I tapped Start New Inspection but can't create one — why?
Shortcuts respect your role. If your role can't start an inspection or raise an instruction, you'll see the same restricted screen you'd see inside the app.
7. Does a shortcut open a second copy of the app?
No. If the app is already open in the background, the shortcut just navigates within it.
8. My session expired — what happens when I use a shortcut?
It's treated like being logged out: sign in again and you're taken straight to the shortcut's destination.
9. Can I change or reorder the four shortcuts?
No — the four shortcuts and their order are fixed (the long-press menu allows up to four).
⚠️ Good to know
The shortcuts show even when you're logged out — you'll sign in first, then land on the right screen.
"Fill Register" opens the web app; the other three open the mobile app.
Shortcuts never bypass your role or permissions.
