The field app at a glance
Today, Work, Capture, Chat and Me — what each part of the field app is for.

If your role is field work, Maliru opens straight into the field app on your phone — a simpler, faster experience than the office workspace, built around your day.
The bottom bar
- Today — your home screen: the date, a greeting, your clock in/out card, today's routes and shifts, anything that needs your attention, and team updates.
- Work — everything assigned to you: upcoming work for the next 14 days, and a Past view of the last 14 days including completed work.
- The centre camera button — Capture — not a tab but an action. Tap it anywhere to add a field record while the details are fresh: a form or inspection, a photo or file, a defect, or a job update.
- Chat — messages with your team, plus Requests and Updates segments.
- Me — your profile, My time (timesheets), Leave, My credentials, personal documents, and settings.
Settings worth knowing (Me → cog)
- Notifications — choose what reaches you on each channel (Mobile, Web, Email). Your in-app inbox always keeps every notification regardless.
- Appearance — Match my phone, Light or Dark. As the app puts it: "Dark mode is easier on the eyes in a cab at night, and on your battery."
- Sign out.
If you also hold office permissions you'll see an Admin view option here to switch to the full workspace.
Notifications and the bell
The bell on the Today header opens your Notifications inbox with a Mark all read action. Tapping a notification takes you to the right place — an assignment lands you on Work with that row highlighted; an update opens Chat's Updates segment.
Next to the bell, the Directory button opens a searchable list of your colleagues with Call and Email buttons.
Staying current
The app refreshes itself when things change — pull down on Today or Work to refresh manually at any time.
Next: Your day on the Today tab and Working a route on your phone.
