Use this guide when you or a customer wants quick access to Car Storage Software from a phone without opening the browser every time.

Saving the site to your home screen adds an app icon that opens full-screen, like a native app. This works for the staff dashboard and the customer portal — sign in to the right page first, then follow the steps below.

Before you start

• You are on an iPhone or Android phone with a modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Samsung Internet, or similar).
• You are signed in to the page you want to save — staff dashboard or customer portal.
• You know which browser you are using. Safari and Chrome on iPhone look similar but the Share button is in a different place.

Safari on iPhone

In Safari, the browser menu is at the bottom-right of the screen. You open that menu first, then Share, then Add to Home Screen.

1. Open the Safari menu

Sign in to Car Storage Software in Safari. Look at the bottom browser bar and tap the ⋯ (three-dot) menu button in the bottom-right corner.

Expected result: A menu slides up from the bottom of the screen.

2. Tap Share

In the menu that appears, tap Share — the option with the square-and-arrow icon at the top of the list.

Expected result: The iOS share sheet opens with actions for this website.

3. Tap Add to Home Screen

Scroll the share sheet if needed, then tap Add to Home Screen.

Expected result: A confirmation screen appears where you can name the icon.

4. Tap Add

Review the name under the icon. Leave Open as Web App turned on if you see that toggle. Tap Add in the top-right corner.

Expected result: A new icon appears on your home screen. Tap it to open Car Storage Software full-screen.

Chrome on iPhone

In Chrome, the Share button is in the top-right corner of the address bar. Chrome skips the extra browser menu step that Safari uses — Share opens the share sheet directly.

1. Tap Share in the address bar

Sign in to Car Storage Software in Chrome. Look at the top of the screen and tap the Share button (square with an arrow pointing up) in the top-right corner of the address bar.

Expected result: The iOS share sheet opens.

2. Tap Add to Home Screen

Scroll the share sheet if needed, then tap Add to Home Screen.

Expected result: The confirmation screen appears.

3. Tap Add

Review the name, keep Open as Web App on if shown, and tap Add in the top-right corner.

Expected result: The home screen icon is added. Open it like any other app.

Android and other browsers

Android phones do not use the same menus as iPhone, but the idea is the same: open the browser menu or Share action, then choose Add to Home screen, Install app, or Add page to.

1. Open the site in your mobile browser

   Sign in to the staff dashboard or customer portal in Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox, or your phone's default browser.

2. Open the browser menu or Share action
   • Chrome on Android: Tap the ⋮ (three-dot) menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app.
   • Samsung Internet: Tap the menu icon, then Add page to → Home screen.
   • Firefox on Android: Tap the menu, then Install or Add to Home screen if shown.
3. Confirm the shortcut

   When prompted, confirm the name and tap Add, Install, or Create shortcut.

   Expected result: An icon appears on your home screen or app drawer. Tap it to open Car Storage Software.

Troubleshooting

What success looks like

• A home screen icon opens Car Storage Software full-screen without the browser address bar.
• The icon shows your facility name (or the short App name from branding settings).
• Staff can start work from Create event or customers can open Events and Cars from the saved icon.
