For more information about device-specific key mappings, refer to the Installation Guide and go to Android SmartGlasses > Frontline Workplace.
Once installed, the Frontline Workplace app can be started via the corresponding icon in the Launcher or, in some cases, via “My Programs” or “Applications”.
Note: The default language of the Frontline Workplace app is set automatically according to the preferred language of the device.
The actual sign-in procedure highly depends on your organization’s specific setup. Depending on the defined system preferences, the available options range from scanning a QR code to manually entering a device code or even automatic sign-in.
For more information on how to sign in on your specific device, please contact your administrator or, if you are an administrator and wish to know more about the available configuration options, see the System Preferences page.
After starting the Frontline Workplace app, the sign-in screen also gives you access to the basic app settings. Usually, you do not need to review or change these, but this may become necessary in case of new devices or changes in the IT environment. If necessary, the basic app settings can be adapted before signing in.
The basic app settings screen gives you access to the following functions:
Note: If no connection can be established, previously signed-in users can use Frontline Workplace offline for a certain amount of time (usually 8 hours).
Note: The unique login code is valid for only 10 minutes.
The status bar is located at the very top of the Frontline Workplace app. It informs you about the overall status of your device and the application.
The home screen is displayed after you sign in to the application. It acts as the main starting point and gives you access to the most important functionalities.
Voice commands are a very convenient way to interact with your device in a hands-free way. Depending on the current screen, there are different actions that can be triggered by simply saying a specific command.
To trigger an icon’s or button’s action:
To select an item from a list:
In addition to voice commands that are only available on certain screens to perform specific actions, Frontline Workplace also offers global voice commands that are available throughout the entire application.
Here’s a list of global commands
In addition to voice commands, you can also use any physical buttons or touchpads on your device to navigate through the Frontline Workplace app and perform certain actions. For more information, please have a look at the user manual for your specific device.
Note: External scanners such as Zebra scanners and ProGlove scanners can be used as selection buttons for the highlighted option with double-clicking.
If necessary, you can reach out to a specific expert to receive assistance. Doing so, Frontline Workplace shows a list of currently available experts and you can choose whom to call.
Note: Grayed-out users are offline and are currently not available for a call.
4. To start the call right away, say “Start Call” OR, to add more users, say “Invite More” and repeat the previous step.
If no specific expert is currently available, you can call a team instead. Doing so, all members receive a notification and can join the call at any time, depending on their availability.
If you are unsure which specific expert or team can give you the best possible support, you can start a general service call. Doing so, you are put in a queue to talk to the right group of people about a particular topic.
With call codes, you can instantly start a call by scanning a QR code. The QR code can be reused multiple times and includes a certain set of information predefined by an expert. This way, the expert automatically receives important details such as a specific title, description, or tags for your call up-front, together with the call notification.
In case another user calls you, the application will show a notification message and play a sound signal. You can then either accept or reject the call:
To join the call:
To dismiss the call:
If necessary, you can also join calls that are already ongoing. This is especially useful when the server or internet connection is temporarily interrupted or if you initially rejected a call and want to join at a later point in time.
To make communication as easy and effective as possible, Frontline Workplace offers a variety of functions that are available during calls. You can either activate or deactivate them via the user interface or you can use the voice commands listed below.
Note: The in-call options menu will be automatically hidden if no interaction takes place for five seconds. To bring the menu up again, press any physical navigation button on your device.
Here's a list of available in-call voice commands:
Note: Live Captions work only if the chosen spoken language is the same with the language that the users speak. Spoken language can be configured through Call Settings.
Tasks are specific workflows assigned to a user or a team. The assigned tasks are automatically synchronized with the most recently published version of the workflow. The respective users or team members can work through their assigned tasks and complete them.
Note: If necessary, started tasks can also be temporarily paused and resumed at a later point in time. After completing a task, it is automatically removed from “My tasks”.
3. To start the newly created task, say “Confirm”.
To start a task via task tags;
Here are the available options during task execution:
The settings screen gives you access to the following functions:
It is also possible to view this screen in the form of a scrollable list.
In case the Frontline Workplace app crashes, the next time the user signs in, they will receive a pop-up notification asking them if they want to report the issue or not. To report an issue, select Confirm.
Additionally, Frontline Workplace users can also report an error by saying the global voice command “Report Error” at any point. This will send the last 60 seconds of the activities to the admin user in the Frontline Command Center. This valuable information will allow the admin user to easily resolve the issue.
After confirming, a banner will be displayed on the smart glasses' screen to indicate the generated report's code. This code can be used to identify the created report.
For more information on how a Frontline admin can access the error reports, see Error Reports.
