The mobile app

What the field app does, how to sign in, how offline entry and the outbox work, and how to approve periods from your phone.

The mobile app is the field companion of EmitLedger for iOS and Android. It is for people who record data where it happens, and for approvers who want to act on a month from their phone. It is rolling out: it is built and in final testing but not yet in the app stores, so ask your administrator whether your organisation is part of a pilot. The status is also shown on Plan & usage.

Sign in

Use the same company account as on the web, including single sign-on and the one-time password where your organisation requires it. If you belong to more than one organisation, choose one after signing in; the app remembers your last choice and Settings lets you switch. You see only the organisations, assets and actions that your role and access limits allow.

What you can record

  • Meter readings for an asset, source and data stream, for a month, with a quality flag.
  • Events: flaring, venting, blowdown and well events.
  • LDAR findings with the component, leak rate, a photo and the GPS position.
  • Refrigerant top-ups.

The asset list is kept on the phone, so you can pick assets without coverage. The same checks apply as on the web, for example a locked month is refused.

Work offline: the outbox

Entries are saved on the phone first and sent when a connection is available: after you save, when the signal returns, when the app is opened and about once a minute. Sync now sends them at once. Photos are uploaded before the entry that uses them, and each is sent only once.

If the server refuses an entry, for example because the month is locked, the outbox shows the reason in plain words. You can correct it and send it again, or discard it. Sending the same entry twice never creates a duplicate.

Entries that are not yet sent stay on the phone. Signing out removes only what has been sent; the app warns you when something is still waiting.

Data entered this way shows the origin mobile in the web app and in the audit log.

Home and approvals

Home shows the totals, Scope 1 and Scope 2, the change on last year, a 12-month chart (with a table view for screen readers) and a breakdown by asset. When there is no connection it shows the last data it received and says so.

Approvals lists periods by asset and year and offers only the actions your role allows: submit, review, approve or lock. Sending a month back requires a comment. See Periods.

Notifications

After you sign in the app registers for push notifications, for example when a month waits for your approval. Tapping one opens Approvals. Turning data due or verification notifications off on the web (see Members) also stops them here. Signing out removes the phone from the list.

Data protection

Sign-in tokens are kept in the phone’s secure storage. Photos and positions are used only for the entry they belong to. The app follows the text size, the light and dark theme and the screen reader of your phone.
