# General mobile app

Use this section for mobile guidance that applies across devices.

Use the general pages for shared behavior, setup, and concepts.

Use the platform guides for exact screens and button names.

### Best for cross-platform guidance

These pages are mainly platform-agnostic:

* [What is the OutSmart mobile app?](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/what-is-the-outsmart-mobile-app.md)
* [Connect a smartphone or tablet](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/connect-a-smartphone-or-tablet.md)
* [Synchronise the mobile app](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/synchronise-the-mobile-app.md)
* [Device policies and settings](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/device-policies-and-settings.md)
* [Paired devices](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/paired-devices.md)
* [Replace or reconnect a mobile device](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/replace-or-reconnect-a-mobile-device.md)
* [Use the mobile app offline](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/use-the-mobile-app-offline.md)
* [Use track and trace in the mobile app](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/use-track-and-trace-in-the-mobile-app.md)

### Also covered in iOS and Android

These pages overlap with the platform manuals.

#### Best kept as shared guides

Keep these pages general.

They describe the same workflow on both platforms:

* [Complete a work order](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/complete-a-work-order.md)
* [Register hours](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/register-hours.md)
* [Add photos, files, and notes](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/add-photos-files-and-notes.md)
* [Use forms](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/use-forms.md)
* [Collect signatures](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/collect-signatures.md)

#### Better as platform-specific guides over time

Move these topics toward iOS and Android first.

They depend more on screens, navigation, and device behavior:

* [Create a work order](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/create-a-work-order.md)
* [Use the map](/mobile-app/general-mobile-app/use-the-map.md)

For screen-specific steps, use [iOS - OutSmart App](/mobile-app/ios-outsmart-app.md) or [Android - OutSmart NEXT](/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/mobile-app/general-mobile-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
