How do I set my default tagging method, location and display mode?

Set your default tag method and default location on the CTS mobile app Preferences screen.

The Preferences screen on the Coral Traceability Solution (CTS) mobile app is where you set your default tagging method, default location and display mode. Your defaults are applied automatically to your traceability actions, so you do not have to choose them each time.


Open Preferences

To open Preferences, tap the menu icon (≡) in the top-left corner of the Home screen, then tap Preferences. The Preferences screen opens with the settings Default Tag, Default Location and Display Mode, each with a forward arrow (▸). Tap the back arrow (←) at any time to return to the Home screen.

To open Preferences from the menu, see How do I use the menu on the CTS mobile app?


Set your default tagging method

Your default tagging method is the scan method used automatically when you start a tagging or scanning action. To set your default tagging method:

  1. On the Preferences screen, tap Default Tag.

  2. On the Default Tag Method screen, choose one option: RFID ID, QR Code ID, or Manual Entry.

  3. Tap the back arrow (←) to return to Preferences.

Your choice is saved and shown next to Default Tag, and is used as the default for future tagging actions.


Set your default location

Your default location is where your actions are recorded. To set your default location:

  1. On the Preferences screen, tap Default Location.

  2. On the Default Location screen, choose your location from the list (for example, 'Cairns Facility' or 'Townsville Facility').

  3. Tap the back arrow (←) to return to Preferences.

Your choice is saved and shown next to Default Location, and is used as the default location for future traceability actions.

Note: Only locations that belong to your organisation appear in the list. Locations from other organisations are not shown.


Set your display mode

Display Mode controls how the app looks. To set your display mode:

  1. On the Preferences screen, tap Display Mode.

  2. Choose one option:

Option

What it does

Auto

Matches your device's system setting, switching between light and dark automatically.

Light

Dark

Always uses the dark theme.

Your choice is applied straight away and saved for next time.

Note: Preferences also includes Hardware Configuration, where you choose between your device's built-in RFID reader and an external Bluetooth reader. See How do I configure my RFID reader (built-in or Bluetooth) on the CTS mobile app?
