Error Messages Explained
Common Error Messages
| Message (or similar) | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Invalid PIN | PIN is wrong or not recognized | Use the correct 4‑digit PIN. Ask your manager to reset it if forgotten. |
| Location required / Allow location | Check-in needs location | Enable location for the browser/site and try again. |
| Invalid or expired token | Session expired or invalid | Sign out and sign in again. Clear cookies if it persists. |
| Invalid email or password | Login credentials wrong | Check email and password. Use Forgot password if available. |
| You don't have permission / Access denied | Your role can't do this action | Ask an admin or owner to do it or change your role. |
| No internet / Connection lost / Offline | Device can't reach the app | Check Wi‑Fi or mobile data. Refresh and try again once connected. |
| Invitation expired | Invite link too old | Ask an admin to resend the invitation and use the new link. |
| Failed to update profile / Failed to save | Request to save data didn't succeed | Check internet, refresh, and try again. If it continues, note the action (e.g. edit profile, save shift) and contact support or your admin. |
What They Mean
- Authentication errors (e.g. invalid PIN, invalid email/password, expired token) mean the app couldn't verify who you are. Fix credentials or sign in again.
- Permission errors mean your role doesn't allow that action. An admin or owner must grant access or perform the action.
- Location errors mean the browser or device isn't providing location (e.g. for check-in). Enable it in Settings or use a different device.
- Network errors (offline, connection lost) mean the device can't reach the internet or the app. Check connectivity and retry.
How to Resolve Them
- Read the message: it often says what's wrong (e.g. location, permission, token).
- Try the suggested fix (allow location, sign in again, use correct PIN, etc.).
- Refresh the page or restart the browser when things seem stuck.
- Use another browser or device if the problem persists (e.g. drag-and-drop, print).
- Ask your manager or admin when it's about roles, invitations, PINs, or organization access.
- Contact support (or your org's contact) if you've tried these steps and the error continues. Include what you did, what you saw (message, screen), and browser/device if relevant.
