Troubleshooting Common Issues

Follow symptom-based fixes for access, sync, missing records, certificates, imports, exports, and feature visibility problems.

Before you start

  • You can identify the workspace, site, inspection, or record involved.
  • You know whether the issue is happening in admin, mobile, or both.

Expected outcome

You can separate access issues, sync issues, data-quality issues, and feature-availability issues before escalating.

Invite acceptance and workspace access

SymptomWhat to check
A user accepts an invite but does not land in the expected workspaceRe-open the browser invite flow, confirm the target workspace, then sign back into admin or mobile.
A feature is missing for one user but not anotherCheck workspace role and enabled features before treating it as a bug.
A field resource is missing from scheduler or inspection assignee pickersConfirm the member belongs to the correct workspace and has field work enabled rather than office-only status.

Sync and startup recovery

SymptomWhat to check
The office cannot see a finished visitOpen Sync Status on the device. Pending, Failed, Blocked, and Conflict require different recovery; local completion is not server acceptance.
The app restarted after poor connectivityRe-open the visit and confirm the latest local state before continuing.
A certificate or report looks staleVerify the latest visit notes, defects, evidence, and completion reached the server before regeneration. Offline completion does not open a certificate until sync succeeds.

Missing records or wrong workflow context

SymptomWhat to check
The wrong checklist items are showingConfirm the service type, asset context, and whether the asset register changed after the visit started.
The wrong site or customer context appears on a documentTrace the record back to the site, customer, quote, or work order that created it.
Dashboard Activity is missingConfirm the signed-in user is an organisation admin or owner. Engineers only receive their personal notification bell.

Export, import, and integration problems

SymptomWhat to check
A CSV export is rejectedCheck required columns, identifiers, and whether you exported the correct workflow dataset.
A CRM or CMMS import template fails validationCompare the file to the published template and check the required columns exactly.
A staged import run will not move past warning or conflictReview candidate matches, accept only intentional warnings, and use the issue CSV to correct the source file before applying.
A connected-system sync looks wrongReview sync history, linked entities, and conflicts before retrying the connection.

Notifications and collaboration recovery

SymptomWhat to check
The notification bell looks empty when you expected a mentionConfirm the comment mentioned the signed-in user directly and refresh the workspace after the event was created.
Dashboard Activity looks too broad or too noisyFilter by resource type, event type, actor, or date before escalating it as a history bug.
An old Activity Feed link opens DashboardThis is the current redirect. Use Dashboard's Activity section.
Dashboard Activity returns a permission errorConfirm the signed-in account has organisation admin or owner role. Engineer accounts are not permitted to query it.

What to include when escalating

Include:

  1. The workspace, site, inspection, quote, work order, or customer account involved.
  2. Whether the issue is admin, mobile, or both.
  3. Whether sync had completed when the symptom appeared.
  4. What you expected to happen and what actually happened instead.
