Quick Start Guide
Welcome to LogLoon! This guide will help you get started with the basics.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Sign up on the web or in the iOS app.
On the web:
- Go to app.logloon.com/signup
- Enter your name and email address
- Create a password and confirm it
- Enter your company name
- You’re in!
In the iOS app:
- Download LogLoon from the App Store
- Tap Get Started on first launch
- Enter your name, email, and password
- Set up your company (name and timezone)
Step 2: Follow the Setup Wizard
New companies get a guided setup wizard on the web. It walks you through:
- Create your first project — name, dates, timezone
- Add cost codes — tap to add common codes, or add your own
- Upload a plan set — get your drawings on every phone
- Invite your team — send invites by email
- Get the mobile app — scan the QR code with your phone
You can skip any step and finish it later.
Just exploring?
Tap Just exploring? and LogLoon creates a sample project, Sunset Ridge Workshop. It’s a working jobsite: a linked 4-sheet plan set, tasks pinned to the floor plan, a schedule, and live progress. Poke around, then remove it any time. It doesn’t count against your plan limits.
Step 3: Create a Project
Skipped the wizard? Create a project any time:
- Click + New Project from the Projects tab
- Enter the project name
- Set the start date and timezone
- Optionally add the address and end date
- Click Create Project
You can add a project photo and upload plan sets after the project is created.
Step 4: Invite Your Team
- Go to the Company tab
- In the Team Members section, click Invite Member
- Enter email addresses — paste a whole list and the dialog splits it into rows
- Select a role for each person:
- Admin - Full access to everything
- Manager - Manage projects and approve time
- Field Worker - Clock in/out and update tasks
- Click Send Invitation
Each person receives an email with a link to sign up. When they do, they land directly in your company — and if you invited them while creating a project, on that project.
Step 5: Download the Mobile App
Your field crew will use the iOS app for time tracking and task updates.
