Account

Username

This shows you the username of the signed-in user. If the app shows the wrong username, sign out, and then sign in with the correct username.

View Account Details

This page lists your team and user information. You can also view and edit your contact information here.

Change Password

You can change your account password from the app—you don’t have to go to the Web Portal to change your password. Use your new password the next time you sign into the app or Web Portal.

Tip:You must know your current password in order to create a new one. If you can’t remember your password, go to the Web Portal, select Forgot Password and enter your email address. The system sends you an email that includes a link and instructions to reset your password.

Log Out

This action logs you out of the Mobile App. When you log out, the system permanently deletes all Drafts and Outbox forms and resets app settings to their default values.

Note:Deleted data can’t be recovered.

Application

Image quality settings

Resolution

Image resolution (Resolution) and file size (Compression) both affect image quality.

Note:Your admin can set a maximum resolution and file size in the question properties. This limits the image and file size, regardless of your app-level setting. If the admin chooses to Use device settings, your app-level settings determine the image quality.

You only need to change the image settings when:

• Your device is low on storage space.

• Your admin doesn’t know how large the images should be to display properly.

• Your admin has selected Use device settings.

The Resolution setting controls the size of the image itself. The larger the image, the better the resolution (quality). The Medium (default) option works well in most cases.

Tip: Only choose a large image size when you really need to. A form that has lots of large images increases the form submission size, processing times, and data usage on the mobile device.

There are four Resolution options:

Option	Maximum length of the long edge
Small	640 pixels
Medium (Default)	1024 pixels
Original	Original resolution and display size
Custom	Custom value

Compression

The Compression setting controls the size of the image file. A higher compression reduces both the file size and the image quality.

Tip:If you choose a higher compression, we advise that you also choose a smaller Resolution.

Advanced settings

The prompt displays when you open an existing entry and select the copy icon. From the Summary Table, you can also select and hold (or right-click) the row and then select the copy option.

Reset forms

The support team might tell you to Reset Forms if the forms or other data on your device aren’t working. This action re-downloads data from the server and stores it on your device. You won’t lose any information that you already entered in a form.

Passcode lock

For added security, you can set up an app-level passcode. After you set up a passcode lock, the Mobile App prompts you for your passcode the next time you open the app. Only a user who knows the passcode can access TrueContext data.

The Windows Mobile App does not support Hello Fingerprint or Hello Face as alternatives to entering a passcode.

Info:The topic TrueContext Mobile App Passcode Lock describes the passcode lock setting in more detail.

Erase all content... option

When you set up your passcode, you can also choose to Erase all content… after 10 failed passcode attempts. Switch this option on to permanently delete all drafts, pending submissions, and app settings.

Warning:You can’t get the local data back once it’s deleted.

Change Passcode

You can change your passcode any time after you set it up. In the Passcode Lock Settings, select Change Passcode. The app prompts you to enter your old passcode, and then to enter and reenter your new passcode.
