Getting started

Using BizBaby on your phone

In this article
The short answer

There's nothing to download. Open BizBaby in your phone's web browser and sign in as usual. On a phone-sized screen it switches to a phone layout: a bar along the bottom for Home, Jobs, Appointments, Customers and More, with everything else under More. Your team members do the same to reach their jobs for the day.

Open BizBaby on your phone

  1. Open your phone's browser and go to the BizBaby sign-in page.
  2. Sign in with the same email and password you use on your computer.
  3. If you work for more than one business, pick the one you want.

BizBaby has no app in the App Store or Google Play. The phone layout appears on any screen narrower than a small tablet. On a wider screen, such as a tablet held sideways, you get the same pages as on a computer.

Find your way around

The bottom bar on a phone: Home, Jobs, Appointments, Customers and More
  • The bottom bar takes you to your dashboard, jobs, appointments and customers. A tab only appears if your plan includes it and you have access to it.
  • The top bar shows the page you're on, a search button and the bell with your notifications.
  • More holds everything else. Tapping your business's initials at the top left opens it too.

What's under More

The More sheet: business name with Switch, Wingman, Support and the Theme choice
  • Your business, with Switch to change to another business you work for.
  • Wingman and Support.
  • Theme: Porcelain (light) or Espresso (dark).
  • If you have a business phone number: the number with Copy, Quick Call, and the Available for Calls switch.
  • The full menu you know from the computer, including Website Builder, Communications, Team and Price Book.
  • At the bottom: Help, Account settings, Switch Company, Account information, Change password and Logout.

For your team in the field

Team members work from their Worker Cabinet. The Go to Cabinet button on the dashboard's Personal Cabinet card opens it; on a dashboard that keeps to the essentials, that card shows once you click Explore in Grow with BizBaby. The cabinet shows the day's work, a strip of days, and the tasks assigned to them, with All, Work, Tasks and History filters.

The Worker Cabinet on a phone: today's date, a strip of days and the Up next list
Tap a day to see its work. Switch between List and Calendar.

Opening a job or appointment gives them the buttons they need on site:

  • Get directions and Call customer.
  • Start work when they arrive, Complete work when they're done. For a task, Complete task.
  • Open checklist, if your plan includes checklists and the job has one.
  • Add a photo under Photos & files, and Leave a comment.
  • Unable to complete when something stops the work. They must give a reason, and the item won't count as complete.

Keep it one tap away

Most phone browsers can put a shortcut to a web page on your home screen from their share or menu button. BizBaby doesn't set this up for you, but the shortcut opens the same sign-in and pages.

Good to know

  • BizBaby needs an internet connection. There is no offline mode.
  • Photos are added through your phone's normal file picker, which usually offers the camera too.
  • Calls and texts from your business number are in the Call & Message Center, under More → Communications.
  • Some browsers ask whether BizBaby may send notifications about incoming calls. Allow it if you take calls on your phone.
