Board Scanner Overview

Mobile App

Android and iOS

The Board Scanner mobile app lets employees sign in at their workstation, see the jobs assigned to them, and record production progress in real time — sending updates back to the office without paper notes.

Connecting a device is a one-time setup done by an admin. After that, employees sign in with their PIN.

1. Download

Mobile devices

We recommend the mobile app for phones and tablets:

• App Store (iOS)
• Google Play (Android)

On Android devices where Google Play isn’t available, install the .apk directly: Download APK.

2. Connect the device to your workspace

Linking a device to your Board workspace requires admin credentials — only someone with full access to the Board admin panel can connect a device. You only need to do this once per device.

1. Open the Board Scanner app on the device.
2. Go to Settings → Sign in To Board.
3. Enter your admin email and password.
4. The app authenticates against your workspace, generates an API token, and stores it on the device.

The device is now linked. From this point on, admin credentials are no longer needed on the device — employees sign in with their PIN only.

Admin login is one-time per device

Don’t share admin credentials with shop-floor staff. The admin login is a setup step only; day-to-day use is PIN-based. If a device changes hands or you want to rotate access, revoke its token and re-run this step.

Managing connected devices

You can view, name, and revoke API tokens for connected devices at any time from the Board web app:

Settings → API Keys (/settings/api-keys)

Revoking a token immediately disconnects the device — the next time someone opens the app, it will return to the setup screen and require an admin to log in again.

3. Employees sign in with their PIN

Once the device is connected, each employee signs in with the PIN set on their Employee profile (minimum 4 digits). If you haven’t created an employee yet, walk through Create your first Employee first.
