Mobile App view inside the Web App

You can now open and use the Mobile App interface directly inside the SquidWeb Web App.

This allows you to access the mobile-optimized layout without switching devices or logging in again.

The Mobile App view opens in a modal window inside the Web App and runs in your existing session.

How to open the Mobile App view

From the planning calendar

  1. Log in to the SquidWeb Web App.

  2. Go to the planning calendar.

  3. Select a crew member.

  4. Right-click on the crew member.

  5. Choose “Open in Mobile App.”

The Mobile App interface will open in a modal window.

Where else is this available?

The same option is also available in:

  • Inside a project → select a crew member

  • Project details page → via the client mark

  • Contact person details page → crew profile

  • Locations page → location details

  • Project location details

The Mobile App view is not limited to public profiles — it can also be used for locations.

How it works

  • The Mobile App interface runs inside the Web App in an embedded frame.

  • No additional login is required.

  • It uses your office account session (not the crew or client account).

  • You remain inside the Web App while using the mobile layout.

Depending on the context, you can view:

  • Public profile

  • Functions

  • Location details

The layout follows the mobile-optimized structure for clearer navigation and faster review.

Add location pictures and access the mobile view directly from the web app

With the location pictures feature in the SquidWeb mobile app, planners can now add images to specific locations to help crew members easily recognize and find the exact place on site.

Visual references reduce confusion and improve preparation — especially for larger venues, multi-entrance buildings, or unfamiliar sites.

How to add location images

From the mobile app

• Open the location

• Upload one or multiple images

• Select one image as the main image

From the web app

You can also manage location images directly from SquidWeb:

• Go to location details

• Click “Open location details on mobile app”

• A mobile modal view opens inside the web app

• Upload images and select the main image

The mobile interface opens in a modal window and logs you in automatically, so there is no need to switch devices.

Where is this available?

The mobile view for locations can currently be accessed from:

• Locations page → location details

• Inside a project → select project crew → location details

Why this matters

Adding visual references improves:

• Faster orientation on site

• Fewer misunderstandings

• Better preparation before arrival

Location pictures ensure your crew knows exactly where they’re going — before they even arrive.
