How add-ons work
Add-ons provide additional features to your existing account, allowing you to perform additional tasks, set up alerts, manage more people, add security, and more.
Once enabled, most add-ons require a user role to use the new features. An administrator can assign these user roles to the locations to which they have access. An administrator can only grant a user role if the account owner has enabled the corresponding add-on.
Acknowledgement Notices, Dashboards, and OnEvac, are add-ons that do not require user roles and can only be accessed by Administrators or the Account Owner.
The OnLocation Mobile add-on also does not require a user role. Administrators and the account owner for employees and contractor managers for contractors access it.
Activate an add-on
To enable an add-on:
- Go to Tools > Account.
- Select Add-on Management from the left-hand menu.
- Click the slider for each add-on you want to enable.
- (Optional) If you want to enable the add-on for specific locations only, click the Select Locations drop-down and select the various locations or use the “Select all” option. The default for add-ons is to be enabled for all locations.
- Click Save.
All user roles for enabled add-ons can now be granted from Tools > User Roles.
