Preface
This guide is for Operators who execute rounds in the mRounds mobile app. It explains the conventions, related information, and support contacts used throughout the guide.
Overview of mRounds
As an Operator, use mRounds to follow planned inspection routes, record asset readings, report abnormal conditions, and pass accurate information to the next shift.
Start Your Shift
Start each shift by signing in, confirming the correct work context, reviewing the previous handover, and making sure the rounds you need are available.
Find and Claim Your Rounds
Use the Rounds screen to begin assigned work, claim an open round, create an ad hoc round from an available predefined plan, or release work you cannot continue.
Execute the Round
Execute a round by following the route, verifying each asset when required, completing the configured tasks, handling exceptions, and submitting the finished record.
- Start a Round and Follow the Route
  Start an assigned round and use the route to visit assets in a practical order. This helps you complete the planned checks without missing a location.
- Scan and Verify an Asset
  Scan the asset when scanning is configured for the plant. Verification helps prevent readings from being recorded against the wrong equipment.
- Review Task Guidance and Complete Each Response Type
  Read the guidance for each task before entering a response. The configured response type tells you what information to capture and what validation may appear.
- Response Type Quick Reference
  Use this reference while executing a round to understand the fields you may see, what each field captures, and how to respond.
- Capture an HMI Reading
  Use HMI capture when the task allows the device camera to read a numeric value from an equipment screen. mRounds records the value and keeps the image as evidence.
- Add Notes and Attachments to a Round
  Add notes and supporting files when a round needs more context than task responses alone provide. The information can also support the shift handover.
- Save and Resume a Round
  Save a round when you need to pause before all tasks are complete. You can resume later without losing the responses already recorded.
- Submit a Round
  Submit a round after all required tasks are complete or properly skipped. Submission creates the completed record used by Supervisors for review and reporting.
- Skip an Asset, Location, or Round
  Skip an asset or location when only part of the route cannot be completed, or skip the entire round when the planned work cannot be performed. Always record the reason.
- Understand What Happens When You Unskip
  Understand how Release 2605 retains readings and notes when a skipped task, asset, or location is restored during the same round.
- View a Submitted Round as a PDF
  Open a submitted round as a PDF when you need a readable record of completed tasks, readings, exceptions, and supporting information.
- Share a Submitted Round PDF
  Share a submitted-round PDF after reviewing it for accuracy. The report gives stakeholders a record of the inspection and its findings.
Choose an Issue or an Action
Choose how to record follow-up work when a round reveals an abnormal condition or a separately assignable activity.
Close Your Shift
End the shift by bringing active work to a safe stopping point, recording unresolved conditions, and submitting a clear handover to the incoming shift.
Find and Manage Rounds, Issues, and Actions
Use search and filters when you need to find a specific round, Issue, or Action without scanning every record in the list.
Troubleshoot Common Problems
Use this guidance when a round, scan, response, handover, or synchronization step does not work as expected.
Customize Your Settings
Use your profile settings to keep the app aligned with your plant, unit, position, shift, language, and preferred display.

Start a Round and Follow the Route

Start an assigned round and use the route to visit assets in a practical order. This helps you complete the planned checks without missing a location.

Accept the Shift Handover Report (Accept the Shift Handover Report). The Start Round button stays disabled until you do.

For example, a pump-inspection route may guide you through assets P-204, P-205, and P-206 in sequence.

Important: You receive a push notification one hour before an assigned round becomes overdue. Tap the notification to jump straight to the round, issue, or action so nothing critical is missed.

To start a round and view the route:

In the Rounds screen, tap the My Rounds tab.
Select a round from the assigned rounds list.

The Round Details screen shows round details, notes, and attachments. Tap the icon for more options.

Figure 1. Round Details
Tap Start Round.

The timer starts recording the round's execution duration. The Assets Route screen opens, showing the assets that need round tasks in this route.
Review the route map to see the order in which to visit assets.
Figure 2. Assets Route
- The route orders assets first, second, third, and so on for the most logical, time-saving visit sequence.
- Tap an asset on the map to navigate to its location.
- The map shows your current location and the rounds assigned to you for the day.
- Check Tasks Summary at the top for Open, Completed, Skipped, and Total task counts.
- Check the Inspection Route section for the count of completed locations or assets.
- Tap the Info icon to see the asset details hierarchy.

You are on the Assets Route screen with the round timer running, ready to scan and verify the first asset.

When the action is unavailable: If Start Round stays disabled, confirm you have accepted the Shift Handover Report.

Next: At the first asset or location, scan and verify the asset when scanning is configured. Otherwise, continue directly to the task guidance and responses.
