Gluu makes it easy to execute, log, monitor and report on recurring tasks in any process. Create a process in the Gluu platform, then add your work instructions, tasks and team members. This app lets endusers see which tasks to do when - and to log them as done with a single touch. It works like this (you need a Gluu account to start): 1. Sign in with the credentials you use for the web version. 2. Follow the wizard to create a process, an activity and some tasks. 4. Assign a user to the role that is responsible. 5. Let the user download this app and sign in 6. The user can now see and log tasks, view work instructions and see comments. The process owner is then notified by email if tasks are not done in time and can review the full history over time.

Most iPhone/iPads support it, except the Air and E models, but check your iPhone/iPad's compatibility! The app works with some iPads but we advise you to use the free trial to test it with your model first! If wired connection doesn't work for your model try the wireless mode via AirPlay. The app's onboarding guides your through connecting all peripherals and your external monitor. If you encounter any issues or need help please contact support in the app. IMPORTANT: Note that the app has a few minor limitations. Due to browser engine security restrictions, users may be unable to interact with remote iframes in certain situations. When this happens, the app provides a button to temporarily switch to the phone layout, allowing you to complete the required action. Afterward, you can return to the fullscreen, black-bar-free experience. By using this app, you agree to Apple's Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
