Get started with the office console

The office console is where office staff schedule crews, set up jobs and people, and approve time. Open it at ops.gumbyworks.com in Chrome, Edge or Safari. It works best on a computer, and it works on a phone too.

Install it

Installing gives the console its own window and icon, and it’s the way to get alerts on an iPhone. See Install on Windows, Install on a Mac, or for phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad and Android.

Accept an office invite

Your company’s Admin sends you a link. Open it, sign in with the email or phone number the invite names, and click Accept invite. When it says “You’re in”, you can use the console.

Sign in

Choose how to sign in:

• Email link: type your Work email and click Email me a sign-in link. Open the link on the same computer, in the same browser. It works once and expires in an hour.
• Phone: type your Mobile number, click Text me a code, and enter the code.

In the console installed on an iPhone, use Phone: an email link would open in Safari, not in the app.

The console is for office staff. A crew member who signs in is told to use the GumbyOps app on their phone instead.

Find your way around

The menu down the left side has Board, Map, Jobs, Time, Daily logs and Chat (when your company uses chat), then People (Admins only), Settings and Help. Some items in the menu aren’t available yet and can’t be clicked. Your name, Sign out and the version are at the bottom.

On a phone, the console shows tabs across the top (Board, Map, Time, and People for Admins) and puts the rest under More.

• The Board
• Jobs
• People, invites and roles
• Time cards and the payroll export
• Team chat for the office
• Alerts in the office console

Updates

When there’s a new version, a bar at the top says New version available. Click Restart when it suits you. Nothing restarts by itself.

If you clock in too

Office staff who clock in use the field app on their phone, at ops.gumbyworks.com/field. The field app is only for clocking in and out, notes, photos and chat; it shows office staff a link back to the console.
