Your Squint Company is your hub for any and all information for your company. It's here where you can add SOPs, safety materials, operator notes - you name it! Content is private to your company but can be shared freely between all members added to your Squint Company.
Naming your Squint Company is easy because well, most companies already have a name and we recommend you use it - why re-invent the wheel.
A party is always fun with more friends, the same is true for devices. Get the party started by sharing the Activation QR code with any other team members you'd like to invite. Any device can join your Squint Company by scanning the Activation QR code, it's that easy.
First, download and open the Squint app. Then, look for a Welcome to Squint email which may arrive in your email from hello@squint.ai or may be forwarded to you by another member of your Squint Company.
If you're the first to scan the Activation QR code, you'll be asked to name the company. However, in most cases, your Squint company will already be up and running. In both cases, opening the Squint app and scanning that Activation QR code is the way to go!
Here's where it gets fun, seriously - there are emojis. Okay, so the first thing is you'll want to make your own profile within Squint. It's important to use your own profile because it's how you'll create a splash in your workplace by, for example: creating operator momentum, improving efficiency, or driving safety. I mean, think about it, if you create a hot post with 500 views you probably want credit for it, right?
Anyways, creating a Squint profile is easy. Add your display name, we recommend your first & last name for the reasons above. Then, take a photo of your badge. This makes logging in crazy easy, no more pesky username and passwords, just flash that badge and Squint does the rest. Finally, pick your emoji - see I promised you! That's it, welcome to Squint!
Squint maps your workplace into "Areas". It sounds complicated, but Squint Areas translates literally to areas in your workplace. A machine is an Area, a room is an area, and even a hallways counts - it's pretty flexible but it's meant to group spaces into areas that you can tap into and see information about.
Lucky for you, creating a Squint Area is as easy as:
1) Walking to the new area you'd like to map to a Squint Area
2) Giving it a name, we recommend something unique and recognizable - such as "Window Machine #1310"
3) Now, you'll be asked to place a Portal on a major physical object in the space. This Portal is your entry point to the area, so pick something identifiable and consistent.
4) After placing the Portal, Squint will direct you to point your camera at the Portal from a variety of angles. In doing this, you're allowing anyone to walk up, approach your portal and successfully enter the Squint Area - good work!
5) You're almost done, the last step is to snap a picture so that others can find what you've created
You've done it, Squint should take it from there and welcome you into the Area. Now you, and everyone else can start sharing all of the information vital to your workplace and create new Workflows & Notes!
Life is better when everyone knows the LOTO procedures, but who can be expected to memorize that many steps?!
Squint Workflows are here to help! Workflows capture SOPs, like our good ol' LOTO, and break them down into steps. Each step is shown sequentially, and all steps can include images and be tagged onto real-world objects in your Area so you no longer have to worry about operators trying to recall "what was that pesky step 14??" or mixing up the difference between the e-stop and the nuclear launch buttons... as we know, it gets confusing.
Creating Workflows is as simple as:
1) Tap the "Create a new Workflow" button inside an Area
2) Give your Workflow a name, generally, this is the procedure name
3) Now comes the fun part - steps! You can either create new steps or, to save you time, copy in steps from other Workflows
4) Once all your steps are in, you can re-order them and when everything looks perfect, hit "Publish"
Your work is now available to everyone across your Squint Company! People are calling you "LOTO-tally awesome", life is good again.

A machine is an Area, a room is an area, and even a hallways counts - it's pretty flexible but it's meant to group spaces into areas that you can tap into and see information about.
So, by this time, there should be a few Squint Areas around and you may want to enter one to find an SOP, a workflow, or a note. Lucky for you, entering an area is as easy as:
1) Tapping into your desired Area (from the list on the home screen)
2) Referencing the presented "Area Image", make sure you're in that general space
3) Now, looking at the "Match this View" image, point your camera at the Area and try to match that view as much as possible
You've done it, Squint should take it from there and welcome you into the Area, immediately showing you all of the Workflows and Notes that you're looking for!

Accessing Workflows is as simple as tapping into your desired Workflow, then hitting "Start"!
Finally, you make the world go round, and we know that so we wanted to make a tool that empowers and helps you do you! In contrast with Workflows, Squint Notes allow you to create and share your own one-off content with your teammates. This could be notes that you want to share with the next shift, a safety hazard that you want to share with the safety manager, or even your acquired knowledge about that one machine that is always slightly off.
To create a note, start by entering an Area. Once you're in an Area, tap the Notes tab, then "Create a new Note". Here you can add a Note title, content, and as many photos as your heart desires. The floor is your canvas, the rest is up to you!
