iOS Menu Bar¶

The GovCIO COMMANDLINK Mobile v2 app uses a menu bar across the top of the app. Each section below provides additional detail on the menu options.

User Status¶

Your status tells your team:

Whether they can see you on the map

Whether your device is sharing its location

Whether your radio (PTT) channel is open

You can change your status at any time.

The system ships with three default statuses:

Available

Out of Office

On Break

All statuses can be modified and new statuses can be added.
