FAQ

Account And Access

Do I need to finish setup before I can use the app?

You can sign in and look around right away, but HighSlack works best after setup is complete. Add your district, gear type, and at least one permit before you start logging real deliveries.

Can I use HighSlack on more than one device?

Yes. You can sign in on multiple devices with the same account. Server-backed data is shared across those devices after sync completes.

Why does a disabled account say it is disabled instead of just failing login?

That is intentional. Disabled accounts now show a specific disabled-account message so users do not waste time retrying the same credentials.

Is there a self-serve password reset?

Yes. Use Forgot password on the sign-in page. HighSlack emails a reset link that expires after 1 hour.

FAQ

Offline And Sync

Does HighSlack work offline?

Yes, but the experience depends on where you are using it. Mobile supports real offline entry and queued sync. Web currently supports browser-side offline queueing on /tickets/create.

How do I use the browser offline queue?

Open /tickets/create while online at least once, then keep using that page if the connection drops. Entries saved there stay in that browser until signal returns and the page can sync them.

What should I do after signal comes back?

Reconnect, leave the page or app open briefly, and let HighSlack sync. On the web delivery form, you can also click Sync Pending.

Why didn't my offline entries appear on another browser or device?

Browser offline queue data is local to that browser profile. It is not shared until it syncs to the server.

Can I lose offline browser entries?

Yes. If browser storage is cleared before sync finishes, queued entries can be lost. The mobile app is still the better choice for heavy offline field use.

FAQ

Deliveries, Imports, And Scan

Where do I add permits now?

Permits are managed from Settings. Older permit routes redirect there.

Can I scan fish tickets?

Yes. HighSlack has an offline or client-side scan flow and, when configured, an enhanced server-side scan flow.

What if ticket scan fails?

Retake the photo in better light, fill the frame with the ticket, and try offline scan first. If enhanced scan is unavailable on the server, HighSlack now returns a clear fallback error instead of crashing.

Can I import a previous season from processor paperwork?

Yes. Use the season import flow from Deliveries, or the Audit tool if you are reconciling processor statements against deliveries already in the app.

Why did my processor statement import fail?

Usually it is an unsupported processor layout, poor scan quality, or a malformed or image-only PDF. Repeated failures with the same file should be treated as a parser support issue.

FAQ

Crew, Contracts, And Tax Docs

How do crew onboarding links work?

Each crew member gets a unique tokenized onboarding link. They use it to submit personal details and sign the contract.

What if a crew onboarding link expired?

Open the crew member record and reset the token to generate a fresh onboarding link.

Are crew SSNs encrypted?

Yes, when ENCRYPTION_KEY is configured correctly. That key is required for SSN-related workflows and tax form handling.

Can HighSlack generate 1099 support paperwork?

Yes. There are crew 1099 and tax-form flows in the app, but they still depend on complete payer info, crew legal details, and correct year and share data.

FAQ

Billing And Support

Which paid tier is the main self-serve plan?

Captain is the main self-serve paid tier.

What is Fleet right now?

Fleet is currently positioned as a higher-touch contact or support plan for larger operations. It is not yet a full in-app organizations or teams collaboration model.

What should I send support when something breaks?

Send the account email, platform, feature or page, time of failure, online or offline status, screenshot or error text, and any landing number, district, or year tied to the issue.
