# Mobile App Tasks

Marlin Mobile App

          

Download the **Marlin** mobile app from the [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=marlin.blue&amp;pcampaignid=web_share) and [Apple App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/marlin-workshop-connect/id6443537755) stores.

**Note:** Some mobile app features will not be available or function correctly unless you are on [the most recent version of GTX](https://help.megabus.com.au/gtx/docs/release-notes).

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software**'s integration with the **Marlin** mobile app enables technicians to track and update their daily tasks.

The main Marlin mobile app window shows a list of **Open Planner Tasks** for a selected date, which is shown at the top right.

For bookings to appear in the Open Planner Tasks list, they need to have been added to the [Business Planner](/v1/docs/business-planner-1) and have [a confirmed **customer order**](https://help.megabus.com.au/docs/business-planner-1#quotes-and-confirmed-orders) with [an assosciated **technician**](https://help.megabus.com.au/workshop/docs/en/customer-orders#customer-order-information) added to them.

Note

To add a technician to a customer order within the Marlin desktop client:

- Open the booking from the [Business Planner](/workshop/docs/business-planner-1) and click on the **Edit Customer Order** button to the top right of the Edit Details pop-up window.
- Click on the **Information** tab at the top of the Customer Order pop-up window and use the **Technician** picker in the Order Information section on the left to assign the technician.

## Marlin Connect Planner Tasks List

By default, the Open Planner Tasks list will show a list of open planner tasks assigned to the logged-in technician for the current date.

To change the date, tap the date at the top right of the window and use the calendar that appears to select another date and tap Done.

Tip

At the bottom right of the calendar is a Today button, which can be used to quickly return to the current date.

Further details about planner tasks can be viewed by tapping on them.

### Planner Task Details

#### Open Planner Tasks

Tapping on a task will show a summary of the order details.

Specific Order Detail lines can be viewed by clicking on the **Lines** drop-down menu (or the Lines button at the top of the screen).

> :::(Info) (Note) In order for detail lines to appear, the order needs to have a **vehicle** associated with it. :::

Tip

The list's contents can be refreshed by swiping downwards on the app screen.

Note

Currently, only [remark lines can be added to an order using the Marlin mobile app](/workshop/docs/workshop-connect-tasks#marlin-workshop-connect-remarks). Other order details can still be added using the Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software desktop program.

### Commencing and Completing Planner Tasks

#### Open Planner Tasks

Once the status of a booking has been set to **Vehicle Received** using the Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software desktop program, a technician will then be able to update the status of the booking using the Marlin mobile app.

Once the booking's status has been set to Vehicle Received, the **Commence Planner Task** button will appear at the bottom of the Planner Task Details window.

Tapping the Commence Planner Task button will update the task's status to **Work Being Performed**.

The button will then change to **Complete Planner Task**, which can be tapped to mark the task as **Completed**.

The task can also be placed on hold or abandoned by tapping the **arrow button** to the right of the Commence/Complete Planner Task button.

A pop-up menu will open, from which the appropriate status can be selected:

- Selecting **On Hold** will set its status as On Hold in the Marlin mobile app and change its status to **Authorisation Required** in the Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software desktop program.
- Selecting **Abandon Planner Task** will return the task's status to **Vehicle Received**.

Once a task's status is set to Completed, by selecting **Complete Planner Task**, the blue button will change to **View Other Planner Tasks**, which can be tapped to return to the Open Planner Tasks list.

Once the status of a booking is progressed to **Customer Notified** or **Invoiced** within the Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software program, its status can no longer be edited using the Marlin mobile app.
