Installing Manage1to1 as an App

Manage1to1 can be installed on your computer, phone, or tablet as a standalone app, giving you quick access without opening a web browser. This makes Manage1to1 feel like a native application while retaining all the benefits of a cloud-based platform.

Installing Manage1to1 is optional but can improve your workflow by providing faster access and a cleaner interface.

What Does "Installing as an App" Mean?​

Installing Manage1to1 as an app creates a shortcut that launches Manage1to1 in its own window, separate from your web browser.

What changes:

  • Manage1to1 appears in your app list/menu alongside other installed applications
  • Opens in its own window without browser address bar and tabs
  • Can be pinned to taskbar, dock, or home screen for quick access
  • Appears as separate app when switching between programs

What stays the same:

  • All features and functionality remain identical
  • Still requires internet connection to work
  • Same login credentials and permissions
  • Data stored in the cloud, not on your device
  • Automatically receives updates (no manual updates needed)

Think of it as:

  • A dedicated shortcut that opens Manage1to1 in a streamlined window
  • Similar to bookmarking but with app-like experience
  • Convenience feature, not a requirement

  • No browser address bar
  • No browser tabs or bookmarks toolbar
  • More vertical space for content
  • Cleaner, app-like appearance

App window controls:

  • Minimize, maximize, close buttons work as expected
  • Window can be resized like any other app
  • Can be moved between monitors

Login behavior:

  • Login state preserved between sessions (if "Remember Me" checked)
  • Session timeout still applies (typically 30-60 minutes of inactivity)
  • Must log in again if session expires

Features That Work the Same​

All Manage1to1 features:

  • Complete functionality identical to browser version
  • Same permissions and access controls
  • All reports, exports, and tools available
  • Real-time updates and notifications

Data and settings:

  • Your preferences saved (column customization, filters, etc.)
  • Activity log records all actions
  • Changes sync across all devices and browser/app versions

What Requires Internet Connection​

The installed app is not a downloaded, offline application - it's a web app that requires internet connection to function.

Requires internet for:

  • Logging in
  • Viewing any data
  • Making changes
  • Running reports
  • Uploading files
  • All functionality

If connection is lost:

  • App may display connection error
  • Unsaved changes may be lost
  • Log back in when connection restored
Important

The installed app does NOT work offline. It requires active internet connection just like using Manage1to1 in a web browser. Always save your work frequently in case of connection issues.

Troubleshooting​

I don't see the install option​

Possible reasons:

  • Already installed - Check your app list; you may have installed it previously
  • Wrong browser - Installation requires Chrome, Edge, or Safari (iOS only)
  • Not logged in - You must be logged into the admin area to see the install option
  • Browser too old - Update your browser to the latest version

Solution:

  1. Verify you're using a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari on iOS)
  2. Log in to the Manage1to1 admin area
  3. Look for install icon in address bar or browser menu
  4. Update browser if option still doesn't appear

App won't launch after installation​

Try these steps:

  1. Restart your device - Simple restart often resolves launch issues
  2. Reinstall the app - Uninstall and install again
  3. Clear browser cache - Clear cache in Chrome/Edge settings, then reinstall
  4. Check internet connection - App requires active connection to launch

App looks different than browser version​

This is normal:

  • Installed app has no address bar or browser controls
  • More screen space dedicated to content
  • Functionality is identical

If layout seems broken:

  1. Try resizing the app window
  2. Check for browser/system updates
  3. Reinstall the app
  4. Contact support if issues persist

Login not remembered​

Login behavior:

  • Check "Remember Me" box when logging in to stay logged in
  • Session timeout still applies (typically 30-60 minutes of inactivity)
  • Must log in again after timeout regardless of "Remember Me"

If login never remembers:

  • Check that cookies are enabled in browser settings
  • Verify you're checking "Remember Me" box
  • Contact IT if issue persists

App disappeared from device​

Common reasons:

  • Browser update may have reset installed apps
  • System update may have affected installation
  • Accidentally uninstalled

Solution:

  • Simply reinstall following the steps for your device
  • Your Manage1to1 data and settings are safe (stored in cloud)

Common Questions​

Q: Is installing the app required to use Manage1to1? No. Installation is completely optional. You can continue using Manage1to1 in your web browser exactly as before. The app is simply a convenience feature for those who want quick access.

Q: Will the installed app work without internet? No. The installed app requires an active internet connection to function, just like using Manage1to1 in a web browser. It's not a downloaded offline application.

Q: Does the installed app take up storage space on my device? Minimal. The app itself is very small (typically under 5MB) and doesn't store your Manage1to1 data locally. All data remains in the cloud.

Q: Can I install the app on multiple devices? Yes! Install on your work computer, laptop, phone, tablet, and home computer if you like. Your data and settings sync across all installations.

Q: Will I get automatic updates? Yes. Because the app loads from the cloud, you automatically get all updates and new features without reinstalling. There's no manual update process.

Q: Does the installed app have access to my camera, microphone, or files? The app only has access to what you explicitly grant when uploading files or using features that require those permissions (like uploading incident photos). It does not access your camera, microphone, or files without your action.

Q: Can I have both the app and browser version open at the same time? Yes, but be careful when editing the same record in both - the last save will overwrite earlier changes. Generally best to use one or the other at a time.

Q: If I uninstall the app, will I lose my data? No. Your data is stored in the cloud, not in the app. Uninstalling only removes the shortcut and app window - all your Manage1to1 data remains safe and accessible via browser or reinstalling the app.

Q: Does installing the app change my login credentials? No. Use the same username and password whether accessing via browser or installed app.

Q: Can I customize the app icon? No. The app uses the standard Manage1to1 icon. You cannot change it to a custom icon.

Q: Why does the app icon look different on my device? Different operating systems display app icons slightly differently. The icon may appear rounded on some devices and square on others, but it's the same app.

Q: Is the installed app more secure than using a browser? Security is equivalent. Both use the same encryption and security measures. However, the installed app may make it easier to notice if you're on a phishing site since the app window is dedicated to Manage1to1.

Best Practices​

Do:

  • Install the app if you use Manage1to1 multiple times per day
  • Pin to taskbar/dock for fastest access
  • Keep your browser up to date (ensures app works properly)
  • Use the app on your primary work device
  • Reinstall if you experience any issues

Don't:

  • Expect the app to work offline
  • Install on shared/public computers (use browser instead)
  • Forget to log out on shared devices
  • Assume the app is separate from your browser (it still uses browser engine)
  • Worry about updating - updates happen automatically

Installing Manage1to1 as an app is a simple way to improve your workflow and access the system more quickly. Give it a try on your primary work device and see if the streamlined experience improves your daily routine!
