Before you can invite employees and contractors you need to have:
- Enabled the OnLocation Mobile integration and
- Configured the general, auto sign in/out, and SOS settings
If you have not configured any settings, you can still grant access to OnLocation Mobile. Without full configuration, they will be able to receive push notifications and general information about your locations.
Pre-invite email
You may like to send your employees and/or contractors an email before sending their invite to let them know what the app is and what's going to happen next.
Here's a template you can use as the base for your email
Hi there
We’re implementing OnLocation Mobile - a mobile app from MRI OnLocation.
OnLocation Mobile is an app that enables employees and contractors to sign in and out for work and receive important safety notifications, among other features.
What happens next
You will receive a separate email from OnLocation containing your invitation and instructions for downloading the app. Please follow the steps to get started.
Have questions?
We’ve put together the attached guide to provide an overview of what OnLocation Mobile is, what it does, why it’s used, and what it means for you as an employee or contractor.
If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks
