Adding a URL to Your Device Home Screen

RTVision does not have a ‘mobile app’ for our products, however, you can follow these instructions to add the web page to your home screen. This essentially gives you the shortcut that mobile apps do, while bringing you directly to the software URL.

 

Android Phones:

Open your browser (Google Chrome, Samsung Internet, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc) and type in your agency’s URL.

Google Chrome: In the upper right corner of the browser page, there are 3 dots. Click on that and find “Add to Home screen”. A box will pop up for you to name the shortcut - you will see this name as text under the ‘button’ on the home screen. Click ‘Add’. A box will pop up asking if you want to add it to your home screen. You can either hold the icon to drag/drop it to the screen you wish it to be on, OR, you can just click ‘Add’ and your device will add it somewhere for you automatically.

Samsung Internet: In the bottom right corner of the browser page, there are 3 bars. Click on that and find “Add page to”. Next select “Home Screen”. A box will pop up for you to name the shortcut - you will see this name as text under the ‘button’ on the home screen. Click ‘Add’. A box will pop up asking if you want to add it to your home screen. You can either hold the icon to drag/drop it to the screen you wish it to be on, OR, you can just click ‘Add’ and your device will add it somewhere for you automatically.

 

You will still need to log in with your user credentials to access the site. Please remember to log out before exiting - otherwise you will be auto-logged out per your agency’s system settings.

 

Apple Devices (iPhone, iPad, etc):

Open your browser (Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc) and type in your agency’s URL.

Safari: In the middle bottom of your browser page, click on the ‘share’ button (it looks like a box with an arrow pointing out of it). Scroll down in the list and click on ‘Add to Home Screen’. If you don’t see this action, scroll to the bottom and tap ‘Edit Actions’, then tap ‘Add’ next to the ‘Add to Home Screen’ action. A box will pop up for you to name the shortcut - you will see this name as text under the ‘button’ on the home screen. Click ‘Add’. The new icon will be added to the next available space on your home screen.
