#Incorrect informationDo not guess. Report the wrong brief, materials, quantities, or customer details.
↻Screen not updatingTap Refresh. If the same error remains, take a screenshot and report the exact action.
?Need helpTell your supervisor the job number, what you tapped, and the message shown on screen.
Best error report: “On JOB-123, I tapped Add photo and received ‘Request unsuccessful’ at 14:20.” A job number, action, exact message, and screenshot make the issue much faster to solve.
