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.
What Your Administrator Controls
Some of what you see in mRounds is set by your administrator, so a screen or option described in this guide may not appear on your device.
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.
- Log in for the First Time
  Use the standard sign-in method the first time you open mRounds. The setup also creates your passcode and, when enabled, quick biometric access.
- Log in with SAP IDP
  Use SAP Identity Provider credentials when your organization has configured SAP IDP for mRounds sign-in.
- Hand Over a Shared Device to the Next Operator
  On a shared device, sign out the previous Operator before the next Operator signs in. This keeps work, preferences, and handover responsibility tied to the correct user.
- Accept the Shift Handover Report
  Review and accept the previous shift’s handover before starting rounds. The report gives you the open work, exceptions, notes, and attachments that may affect your shift.
- Work Offline
  Use offline mode when your route has poor or no connectivity. Synchronize first so the assigned rounds and required data are available on the device.
- Review and Sync the Outbox
  Use the Outbox to review work saved on the device while offline. Entries synchronize automatically after the device reconnects.
- Review an Entry Waiting to Synchronize
  Check an Outbox entry that remains waiting after connectivity returns. The status helps you determine whether to wait for background synchronization or report the problem.
- Find Your Way Around the App
  Use the Home, Rounds, Issues, Actions, and More screens to find assigned work, track progress, report findings, and complete shift activities.
Find and Claim Your Rounds
Assign an open round to yourself, create an ad hoc round, or unassign a round you cannot complete.
Execute the Round
Use this chapter once a round is assigned to you and you are ready to start work. It sets out the normal path through a round, and the side paths to take when something does not go to plan.
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.
Search and Filter 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
Set your plant, unit, position, and shift, choose what data synchronizes, and change the theme and language.

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.

These activities prepare the app for your shift and help you begin with the right plant, assignment, and information from the previous team.

Follow this flow

Sign in with your credentials, or take over a shared device.
- The mobile app supports standard credentials and SAP Identity Provider sign-in when SAP IDP is configured. First-time sign-in may also ask you to create a passcode, enable biometric access, and select your work preferences. See Log in for the First Time or Log in with SAP IDP.
- On shared devices, make sure each Operator uses their own credentials before starting shift work. When a device passes from one shift to another, the outgoing Operator signs out before the incoming Operator signs in. See Hand Over a Shared Device to the Next Operator.
Confirm your Plant, Unit, Position, and Shift. These preferences determine which data is synchronized to your device. See Set Your Work Context.
Review and accept the Shift Handover Report. You cannot start a round until the required handover is accepted. See Accept the Shift Handover Report.
Allow synchronization to finish. When your route includes an area with poor or no connectivity, prepare for offline work before leaving network coverage. See Work Offline.
Review any pending entries in the Outbox. See Review and Sync the Outbox.
Use the Home and Rounds screens to review assigned and open work. See Find Your Way Around the App.

Find and claim your rounds

Use the Rounds screen to begin work already assigned to you. You can also claim an open round, create an ad hoc round from a predefined plan, or release work you cannot continue.

Most rounds appear in My Rounds after they are assigned. Use the following path only when your work situation requires it.

Table 1. Choose the next action
Situation	Continue with
A round is already assigned to you.	Open it from My Rounds and execute the round.
An unassigned round is available.	Assign the open round to yourself, then begin execution.
An unplanned check is needed and a predefined round plan is available.	Create an ad hoc round.
You cannot continue an assigned round.	Use Unassign an Assigned Round or Unassign an In-Progress Round, as applicable.

After a round appears in My Rounds, continue to Execute the Round.
