QualityOne Mobile is a complementary mobile application to the full QualityOne Vault application for Apple™ iOS™ and Android™ devices that you can use remotely from your location to log NCRs (nonconformances) and to log and track health, safety, and environmental (HSE) Incidents.
Note: QualityOne Mobile for Android currently does not support logging NCRs.
Depending on your Admin’s configuration, you can log an NCR against Purchase Orders, Production Orders, and Processes and log an Incident against Environmental Event, Injury Illness, Property Damage, and Vehicle incident types. Mobile NCR and Incident records that you report through the mobile application are managed and investigated within your Vault once submitted.
In addition, QualityOne Mobile offers the following functionality:
- Visual Evidence: You can capture photos to include in your NCR and Incident as visual evidence when logging your record.
- Offline Mode: You can use the application while it is offline to view, search, and store locally-created records. You cannot submit records to Vault offline; you must have connectivity, either through cellular data or WiFi.
- Running Follow-Up Actions: You can run actions as a follow-up to the record submitted to Vault. You cannot run actions on the record during offline mode.
Depending on your Admin’s configuration, object, field, and section labels may appear differently than the labels mentioned in this article.
Before you start to use QualityOne Mobile, contact your Admin to ensure your device is compatible with the list of supported mobile versions.
Note: Incident Management is currently available only to Early Adopters. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more details.
