New! Share a Load Document to Send it in the Mobile+ App

If you are looking at an image file for your BOL or any other load document, you can share it directly with the Mobile+ app on your Apple iOS or Android tablet or smart phone. Using the native built-in Share function on any device to upload a file saves you time. You don't have to launch Mobile+ first and then tap Scan and remember where that file was located to upload it.

The iOS and Android OS Share feature already comes with all smart phones and tablets. Updates to Mobile+ to support native-OS sharing were first available in Release 6.7 of the Transflo Mobile+ app.

 

When you are already looking at a load document, scanned image, or PDF on your mobile device, you can share it directly with Transflo Mobile+ and send it alone or with your other pre-captured images and live photos of your paper docs.

 

  1. Locate any load document file that you want to send. For example, go to your Android or iOS recent files, gallery, downloads, e-mail, a viewer app, or another app that supports sharing. (Ask your fleet manager which file formats are supported by your fleet. For example, you might not be able to send PDF files. You can select up to 10 files; however, for best performance on older devices, select no more than 3 files to share.)

  2. Look for the Share feature. The icons vary by app on iOS and Android devices. Some common examples appear below. Tap your Share menu item or button.

    Example A: The share icon varies by device, operating system, and app.

    Example B: In this example, the user selects two (2) files and then taps the Share button.

  3. Tap TRANSFLO in the row of apps. You might have to swipe left or right to find it. (Instead of sharing the file with another person, you are sharing a copy of it with the Transflo Mobile+ app to send it along with any other documents for your recently completed or soon to be completed load.)

  4. If a You are not registered... error message appears, it means you downloaded and installed the Transflo Mobile+ app but did not register as a new user yet. Tap Register to set up your account or tap Cancel to do it later. The steps are shown below.

  5. As a registered user, after you tap Share, the Mobile+ app scanning features appear. The file you shared is added to the count of pending documents.

    • To add more, tap ADD EXISTING IMAGE and select up to ten (10) image files.

    • To capture a new photo, hold your phone or tablet over a paper document.

    • To continue sending this batch of load images, tap Next.

      Tip: If you register, select a valid fleet ID, and tap Share but you still don't see your files added to the list of scanned items, it could mean your fleet customer account does not include Transflo scanning features.

      In some configurations, you can select a fleet, division, or target scenario for your uploaded shared files (as shown below).

  6. Each page you are about to send appears with a circle at the bottom to show its status. Review each page and fix any blurry images or errors. You can also rotate or crop images and adjust their brightness or color format.

  7. Select the right document type for each page. For example, BOL, fuel receipt, or weight ticket.

  8. When finished, tap Done.

  9. To learn more about capturing photos and uploading images, review the following knowledge base (KB) articles:
