teamspace is a web application – the advantage being that you can use it from anywhere. With just a few clicks, you can additionally install teamspace as a Progressive Web App (PWA) so that it feels like a real program: its own window, a taskbar icon and quick shortcuts. This way you work comfortably at the desktop and on the move on mobile.

Installing on the PC

  1. Go into the menu on the right and choose “Install app”.
  2. Click “install now” – this refers to this device, the one you are currently using.
  3. Confirm the prompt; Chrome then asks once more as well – confirm here with “yes”.
  4. Optionally, you can pin teamspace.
The right-hand user menu (Volker Vorstand) with Check in, Staff change and Settings (Language, Colour scheme, Layout); at the bottom the highlighted 'Install app' entry with a QR icon
The right-hand user menu on the PC with the "Install app" entry (at the bottom, with a QR icon).

The difference is immediately visible: the address bar disappears, you have more room and teamspace runs in its own window. Your taskbar now holds an icon that takes you straight into the program – and there you also see your notifications. By right-clicking the icon, shortcuts such as “Check In” and “Check Out” are available to you.

Installing on the smartphone

  1. Go into the menu again and choose “Install app”.
  2. The “on this device” option no longer appears now – the system has recognised that teamspace is already installed on the PC.
  3. Instead, a QR code appears. Scan it with the normal camera on your phone.
  4. Under “Option”, start the command offered – teamspace is then installed on the phone automatically.
Installation dialog: at the top 'Install on this device' with the green 'Install now' button, below it 'Install on the smartphone' with the prompt 'Scan QR code' and a QR code
The installation dialog: "Install on this device" (the "Install now" button) and, below it, "Install on the smartphone" with the QR code to scan.

The benefit on the phone: you can check in and check out directly via the shortcuts, without first switching into the program.

Removing a device

If you have installed teamspace on several devices, you sometimes want to get rid of it again – particularly handy when you no longer have access to a device (e.g. if it is lost).

  1. Go into your own menu → Personal settings → Devices.
  2. There you can see which devices teamspace is installed on.
  3. Delete the entry – this means you can no longer get in from that device.
Personal settings, 'Devices' tab: the 'Device passwords' list with the three-dots menu of an entry open, showing the 'Delete' and 'Edit' actions
Personal settings → "Devices" tab: via the three-dots menu of an entry in "Device passwords", you remove a device with "Delete".
