Put JobPanel on your phone's home screen

JobPanel installs straight from your browser. There's no App Store, nothing to download, and no extra cost — you end up with a JobPanel icon next to your other apps that opens full screen, without the address bar in the way.

Why it's worth doing

One tap to open

No typing the address or hunting through browser tabs — it sits on the home screen with your other apps.

More of the screen

The address bar and browser buttons disappear, so you see more of the schedule on a small screen.

Stays signed in

It keeps its own login, so your crew aren't signing in every morning.

Nothing to update

It's still the website, so everyone is always on the current version. No app updates to chase.

iPhone & iPad

  1. 1Open getjobpanel.com in Safari. This part matters — see the note below.
  2. 2Sign in as normal, so the app opens straight to your dashboard later.
  3. 3Tap the Sharebutton — the square with an arrow pointing up. It's at the bottom of the screen on an iPhone, and the top right on an iPad.
  4. 4Scroll down the list of options and tap Add to Home Screen.
  5. 5Give it a name if you like, then tap Add in the top right.

It has to be Safari.Chrome and Firefox on iPhone can't add apps to the home screen — Apple only allows it from Safari. If you don't see “Add to Home Screen” in the share menu, you're almost certainly in a different browser.

Android

  1. 1Open getjobpanel.com in Chrome.
  2. 2Sign in as normal.
  3. 3Tap the ⋮ menu (three dots) in the top right corner.
  4. 4Tap Add to Home screen — on some phones it says Install app. Both do the same thing.
  5. 5Tap Add or Install to confirm.

Chrome often does this for you — if a bar slides up from the bottom offering to install JobPanel, just tap it and you're done.

Computer (Windows or Mac)

  1. 1Open getjobpanel.com in Chrome or Edge.
  2. 2Look at the right-hand end of the address bar for a small install icon — a screen with a downward arrow.
  3. 3Click it, then click Install. If you don't see the icon, use the ⋮ menu and look for Install JobPanel or Apps → Install this site as an app.

This gives the office a JobPanel window of its own, separate from your browser tabs — handy for dispatch, where the schedule stays open all day.

Common questions

Does it cost anything?

No. It's the same JobPanel account you already pay for, just with a shortcut on your home screen. There's no separate app fee.

Will it use up storage on my phone?

Barely. It isn't a download like an App Store app — it's a shortcut to the website, so it takes up almost no space.

Do my technicians need to do this?

It's optional, but most crews prefer it. Anyone with a JobPanel login can add it to their own phone, and they'll only see the jobs they're assigned to, exactly as they do in the browser.

Can I find it in the App Store or Google Play?

No, and you don't need to. JobPanel installs directly from your browser, which is why there's nothing to download and no app updates to keep on top of.

Does it work without signal?

You need a connection to load jobs and save changes, the same as the website. Out in a basement or a rural property, wait until you have signal again before updating a job.

How do I remove it?

Press and hold the icon and delete it, the same as any other app. Your account and data aren't affected — you're only removing the shortcut.
