FAQ

Getting Started

How do I download the RTRS app?

Download your company's RTRS mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Many organizations use a private-labeled version of RTRS, so search for your company's app name rather than "RTRS." You should have also received a link to download the app from both stores when you received your welcome email to setup your password. If your company provided a download link, simply tap the link to install the app.

How do I log in for the first time?

After installing the app: 1. Open the application. 2. Enter the username provided by your company. 3. Enter your password. After your first login, the app will synchronize your assigned projects, forms, documents, and training.

I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

Select Forgot Password on the login screen from the mobile app. Enter your username and follow the instructions sent to your inbox. If you don't receive the email within a few minutes:

Check your Spam or Junk folder.
Verify that you're using the correct email address.
Contact your company administrator if you continue experiencing problems.

Why didn't I receive my password reset email?

Several factors can prevent password reset emails from arriving:

The email may have been filtered into Spam or Junk.
The email address entered may not match your RTRS account setup.
Your organization may use multiple email addresses.
Your company administrator may need to verify your account or make your account active.

If you still don't receive the email, contact your administrator or RTRS Support.

Can I stay logged in?

Yes. The RTRS app is designed to keep you securely signed in between sessions so you can quickly access information while working. Depending on your organization's security policies, you may occasionally be asked to log in again.

My Account & Profile

How do I edit my profile?

Depending on your company's settings, you may update certain profile information from the client website such as:

Phone number
Address
Profile picture

Some information can only be changed by an administrator.

How do I change my phone number?

Update your phone number from the client website. If the Administration menu is unavailable, contact your company administrator.

Can I upload a profile picture?

Many organizations allow users to upload a profile photo. Open your User page from the client website and select your current picture to upload or replace it. Only Administrators can update profile photos.

Why can't I edit my information?

Some profile information is controlled by your organization to maintain accurate employee records. If a field cannot be edited, your administrator can make the change for you.

How do I update my notification preferences?

Notification settings may be available within your device's notification settings. Your organization may require certain notifications for compliance purposes. You should contact your administrator.

Offline Usage & Synchronization

Can I work offline?

Yes. RTRS is designed for employees working in locations without reliable cellular or Wi-Fi service. Once your information has synchronized, many features remain fully functional offline.

How does synchronization work?

Whenever your device has internet access, RTRS automatically:

Uploads completed work
Downloads new assignments
Updates documents
Refreshes training
Synchronizes project information

No manual synchronization is normally required. However, RTRS encourages companies to constantly update their app to make sure all updates are complete.

Why hasn't my work been uploaded?

Common reasons include:

No internet connection
Weak cellular signal
Airplane Mode enabled
Large photo or video uploads still processing

Once a connection is restored, synchronization usually resumes automatically.

How do I force synchronization?

If synchronization doesn't begin automatically:

Close and reopen the app.
Verify your internet connection.
Log out and back into the app

If problems continue, contact your administrator.

Can I complete inspections without the internet?

Yes. Inspections can be completed offline and automatically submitted when connectivity returns.

Projects & Permissions

Why can't I see my project?

Projects only appear after:

The project has been created.
You've been assigned to it.
Your device has synchronized.

If the project still doesn't appear, contact your administrator.

Why can't I see certain forms?

Forms are assigned based on the project users are assigned to. If a form is missing, it may not be assigned to your account.

Can I belong to multiple projects?

Yes. Many employees participate in multiple projects simultaneously. RTRS allows access to all projects assigned to your account.

Who assigns projects?

Projects are assigned by your company's RTRS administrator or another authorized manager.

Why was a project removed?

Projects may be removed because:

The project has been completed.
Your assignment changed.
Permissions were updated.
The project was archived, set as inactive.

Contact your administrator if you believe access was removed by mistake.

Mobile Forms

What are Mobile Forms?

Mobile Forms allow you to replace paper forms with digital versions that can be completed directly from your smartphone or tablet. Organizations use Mobile Forms for inspections, audits, incident reports, equipment checklists, quality assurance, permits, safety observations, daily reports, customer documentation, and countless other workflows.

What types of forms are included?

RTRS supports virtually any business process, including:

Safety inspections
Equipment inspections
Vehicle inspections
Incident reports
Near Miss reports
Daily reports
Job Safety Analyses (JSA)
Pre-Task Plans
Quality inspections
Environmental inspections
Customer service reports
Delivery confirmations

Custom company forms

Your organization determines which forms are available to you.

Can our company build custom forms?

Yes. RTRS was designed to be highly configurable. Organizations can create forms specific to their operations without requiring custom mobile app development. Forms can include:

Text fields
Dropdown lists
Checkboxes
Multiple choice questions
Date and time pickers
Number fields
GPS capture
Photo uploads
Video uploads
Electronic signatures
File uploads

Can forms have required fields?

Yes. Your organization can require specific questions before a form can be submitted. Required fields help ensure inspections and reports are completed consistently and that important information isn't accidentally omitted.

Can forms show or hide questions automatically?

Yes. RTRS supports conditional logic (nested options) that displays questions based on previous answers. For example: If "Was damage found?" is answered Yes, additional questions about the damage can automatically appear. This keeps forms shorter and easier to complete.

Photos, Videos & Attachments

Can I attach photos?

Yes. Most RTRS forms, inspections, observations, toolbox talks and reports allow you to attach one or multiple photos directly from your device. Photos often provide valuable documentation and help improve communication.

Can I attach videos?

Yes. Many forms support video attachments, allowing users to document equipment operation, hazards, incidents, or work progress. Large videos may require additional upload time depending on your internet connection.

Can I attach PDF files or other documents?

Yes. Depending on your organization's configuration, you can attach documents such as:

PDFs
Spreadsheets
Word documents
Equipment manuals
Supporting documentation

Is there a limit to the number of attachments?

RTRS supports multiple attachments within most forms. Although there is generally no fixed limit on the number of photos or files, extremely large files may take longer to upload or be subject to your organization's storage policies.

Can I annotate photos?

Yes. Many organizations enable external photo markup tools that allow users to highlight important details before submitting a report.

Observations

What is an Observation?

An Observation is a quick way to document something noticed in the field. Observations may include:

Unsafe conditions
Unsafe behaviors
Near misses
Positive safety actions
Quality concerns
Environmental issues

Housekeeping concerns

Observations help organizations identify trends before they result in incidents.

Why should employees submit observations?

Observations help organizations become proactive instead of reactive. Early reporting can:

Prevent injuries
Reduce claims
Improve quality
Protect equipment
Improve compliance
Identify recurring risks

Every observation contributes to a safer workplace.

What types of observations can be submitted?

Depending on your organization, categories may include:

Safety

Can observations be assigned to someone?

Yes. Observations can be assigned to responsible individuals for investigation or corrective action. Internal assigned users will receive automatic notifications and external assignees receive an email.

Open Issues & Corrective Actions

What are Open Issues?

Open Issues are corrective actions that require follow-up before they are considered resolved. Issues can be created from:

Safety Observations
Inspections
Audits

Open Issues help ensure hazards don't simply get reported—they get resolved.

How are corrective actions assigned?

When an issue is created, it can be assigned to an individual responsible for resolving it.

How do due dates work?

Each Open Issue may include a target completion date that can only be in the future. Due dates help organizations prioritize corrective actions and allow supervisors to monitor progress before deadlines are missed.

Can I reassign an issue?

Yes. Issues can be reassigned when responsibilities change or additional expertise is needed. Assignees can be deleted and added.

Can I attach evidence when closing an issue?

Yes. Supporting documentation helps verify that corrective actions were completed. Evidence may include:

Photos
Notes
Updated inspection results

Providing supporting evidence creates a complete record for future audits and compliance reviews.

Training Learning Management

How do I complete assigned training?

Open the Training section of the home screen of the app and select the assigned course or complete it from the website. Complete all required materials, including videos, documents, quizzes, acknowledgments, or electronic signatures, before submitting. Once completed, your training history is automatically updated.

Can training expire?

Yes. Many organizations require periodic retraining to remain compliant with company policies or regulatory requirements. The expiration period depends on your organization's training program and is setup by the Training Manager when the course is created.

How do training reminders work?

RTRS can automatically notify users to complete trainings. Notifications may be sent:

For a certain number of days after being assigned
Continuous email reminders every day until complete

Reminder schedules are set by your organization.

Can supervisors assign training?

Regular Toolbox Talks reinforce a strong safety culture.

How do QR Code sign-ins work?

The meeting facilitator displays a QR code. Employees simply scan the code with their mobile device to:

Join the meeting
Review the topic in over 130 languages
Electronically acknowledge attendance

This eliminates paper sign-in sheets and simplifies attendance tracking.

Can employees sign from their own phones?

Yes. Each employee can use their own device to review and electronically sign the Toolbox Talk. Individual electronic acknowledgments improve record accuracy and reduce administrative work.

Can Toolbox Talks include photos and videos?

Yes. Organizations can enhance Toolbox Talks by including links to:

Photos
Diagrams
Videos
Equipment images
Safety alerts
Incident examples

Visual content helps improve engagement and understanding.

Can AI generate Toolbox Talks?
