# How do I get staff to update records from their phone?

Stop asking them to open the spreadsheet. Nobody is going to work a forty-column file on a phone while standing next to a delivery van, which is exactly why you keep getting photographs on WhatsApp instead. PaprPlain gives each person their own short screen — just what is assigned to them, just the boxes they are responsible for — and it is quicker for them than sending you a message. The photo goes straight onto the right record rather than into a chat. They can move a job to its next stage straight from its card. And there is nothing to install: they open a link on the phone they already have, and every rule you set still applies when they do.

## Their own list, on the phone they already have

What is theirs, soonest first. A blank required box will not save. It needs a signal — no offline mode, no barcode scanning.
