    For translation issues with job plans and job tasks please raise the issue at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/8a9ede37e73e4836b6a9a72637251fe7

  • Q19. During an inspection how many evidence pics can I attach and how?

    Users can upload a maximum of two evidence photos for tasks that have been passed. When dealing with Non-Compliance tasks, you are allowed to upload up to four evidence photos before the repair and two photos after the repair. For both pre and post-inspection asset photos, you can upload up to two photos. Additionally, you can upload up to five photos for any additional documents. Please be aware that you can only use your device’s camera to upload photos, as uploading photos from your device’s gallery is not permitted to prevent any deceptive practices.

  • Q20. Is it possible to upload photos from the device gallery?

    Uploading photos from the device’s gallery is not allowed. It’s a security feature.

  • Q21. Why haven’t I received an email notification after completing and submitting the inspection on the app?

    If you have submitted the inspection offline, open the CBRE DigiVerse app in online mode to upload the inspection data to the DigiVerse server.  

    It is important that you must keep the app in the foreground until all the images are uploaded. Do not kill/minimize the app while data is uploaded to the server. Once everything is uploaded you will receive an email notification.

  • Q22. How do I share inspection reports?

    If you have the right to download the reports from the app, you can use the download report tile of the app to search for the desired inspection report and share it using the share button.

  • Q23. Where can I see the current version of the app? 

    Tap on the Monogram to access the sidebar menu, then Tap on About to view the current version of the app. 

  • Q24. Why can’t I pause an ongoing inspection?

  • Q30. Where can I find the privacy policy?

    Here is the link to our privacy policy.

  • Q31. Where can I find the Terms and Conditions?

    Here is the link to the Terms and Conditions.

  • Q32. How can I synchronise my CBRE DigiVerse App to fetch the latest inspections (or work orders) from the server?

    The application’s local data synchronisation with the DigiVerse backend is triggered on the following activities:

    1. When the user logs into the app.
    2. When the user submits any inspection (or work order).
    3. When the user kills the app or closes the app and reopens it.

    To see the last synchronisation date and time, tap on the monogram to access the sidebar menu and then tap on the menu item named “Status”. If the last synchronisation timestamp is outdated, just kill/close the app and reopen it to sync the app with DigiVerse backend and fetch the latest inspections (or work orders).

  • Q33. App is showing "Failed to get push token for push notification!" alert message. What to do?

    This message appears when the permission for push notifications is denied for the CBRE DigiVerse app. Please provide all the required permissions for the proper functioning of the application.

    To enable push notifications for CBRE DigiVerse app:

    1. Go to your device’s setting app.
    2. Scroll down and tap on the “Notifications” or “Apps & notifications” option.
    3. Find CBRE DigiVerse App in the list and tap on it.
    4. Toggle on the “Allow Notifications” option.
  • Q34. Where can I raise the issues related to maximo?
  • Q35. How can I resolve the issue of CBRE DigiVerse app not syncing parts and materials with Maximo, as well as the inability to update parts, materials, and labor hours on the tech app, given that submitting a work order on DigiVerse app changes its status to complete and it doesn't appear on the tech app?
    At present, the CBRE DigiVerse app does not sync the parts, materials, and labour hours to Maximo. We are working on incorporating this functionality, but in the meantime, you can follow this workaround:
    1. First open the work order in the CBRE DigiVerse app and finish all the listed tasks.
    2. Before submitting the work order in DigiVerse, open the tech app and submit the parts, materials, and labour hours for that specific work order.
    3. Finally, return to the CBRE DigiVerse app and hit the submit button.
  • Q36. Is it possible to utilize the CBRE DigiVerse app to assign a specific work order to a particular CBRE Mobile Technician (MT)?

    No, the CBRE DigiVerse doesn’t have the functionality to directly assign/reassign work orders. Work order assignments are handled by Maximo, which is responsible for assigning vendor/realm codes to work orders. The app communicates with Maximo and presents users with work orders assigned by Maximo, taking into account the vendor/realm code, country and user roles.

  • Q37. Is it possible for vendors to utilize the CBRE DigiVerse app to assign work orders to their employees?

    No, the CBRE DigiVerse app does not have the capability to directly assign or reassign work orders. Instead, work order assignments are managed by Maximo. The app interacts with Maximo to display users with work orders assigned by Maximo, considering factors such as the vendor code, and country. As a result, all employees from a specific vendor can view all the open inspections assigned to that vendor.

  • Q38. Can inspection reports from multiple work orders conducted at the same station on the same day or for a single asset be consolidated into a single report?

    No, it is not feasible to combine inspection reports from multiple work orders conducted on the same day for a single asset or station. Each work order submitted by the user and accepted by Maximo generates an individual inspection report.

  • Q39. Can a single vendor company purchase a single CBRE DigiVerse license, or do they need to acquire licenses for each employee individually?

    CBRE DigiVerse licenses are assigned on a per-user basis, rather than to the vendor company as a whole. Therefore, each vendor within the company must obtain individual licenses if they wish to use the CBRE DigiVerse app. It’s important to note that sharing of credentials is prohibited, and simultaneous login on multiple devices is not permitted. Violation of these rules will result in automatic logout and potential loss of inspection data.

  • Q40. Is it possible to view the work order history in the CBRE DigiVerse app? Does the app display closed/completed inspections as well?

    The CBRE DigiVerse app only displays inspections that are assigned to users based on vendor/realm code and have statuses such as Dispatched, In progress and Acknowledged. Work orders that are closed, completed, or on hold are not shown on the CBRE DigiVerse app.

  • Q41. Is it possible to access dashboards and graphs within the CBRE DigiVerse app for analyzing various metrics such as the number of finished work orders, the count of inspections carried out for CM work orders promptly repaired on-site, and the number of work orders with pending follow-on tasks that still need attention, etc.?

    The CBRE DigiVerse app does not provide dashboard functionality. Users should utilize the MyVantage tool to access the dashboard and analyze relevant information, allowing them to take appropriate actions based on the insights gained.

  • Q42. What is the purpose of the "Force Upload" button? Is it intended for manual uploads?

    The force upload button is not intended for manual uploads. The upload process will occur automatically as usual. However, if for any reason the automatic upload fails, this button can be used as a backup option.

  • Q43. Why am I unable to see the "Download reports" tile on the home page of the app?

    The “Download reports” feature is only available for global and country admins. CBRE MTs and L3 users will not see this option.

  • Q44. To whom is the Inspection Report provided?

    Currently, the Inspection Report is only accessible to country administrators and individuals whose email addresses have been input into the application at the time of the inspection. If users provide their email addresses in the app, they will also receive the report.

  • Q45. What could be causing the problem with the blank Classification Categories section?

    The issue might arise from the master data download not being successful.

    We recommend the following steps:

    1. Kill and Reopen the App: Close the application and reopen it 2 to 3 times, leaving a gap of at least 1 minute between each cycle. This action should trigger the download of the master data. Check if the Classification Categories list appears.
    2. Logout and Log Back In: If the issue persists, log out of the application and then log back in. This process will initiate the download of the master data again. After logging back in, verify if the Classification Categories section is populated.

  • Q19. During an inspection how many evidence pics can I attach and how?

    Users can upload a maximum of two evidence photos for tasks that have been passed. When dealing with Non-Compliance tasks, you are allowed to upload up to four evidence photos before the repair and two photos after the repair. For both pre and post-inspection asset photos, you can upload up to two photos. Additionally, you can upload up to five photos for any additional documents. Please be aware that you can only use your device’s camera to upload photos, as uploading photos from your device’s gallery is not permitted to prevent any deceptive practices.

  • Q20. Is it possible to upload photos from the device gallery?

    Uploading photos from the device’s gallery is not allowed. It’s a security feature.

  • Q21. Why haven’t I received an email notification after completing and submitting the inspection on the app?

    If you have submitted the inspection offline, open the CBRE DigiVerse app in online mode to upload the inspection data to the DigiVerse server.  

    It is important that you must keep the app in the foreground until all the images are uploaded. Do not kill/minimize the app while data is uploaded to the server. Once everything is uploaded you will receive an email notification.

  • Q32. How can I synchronise my CBRE DigiVerse App to fetch the latest inspections (or work orders) from the server?

    The application’s local data synchronisation with the DigiVerse backend is triggered on the following activities:

    1. When the user logs into the app.
    2. When the user submits any inspection (or work order).
    3. When the user kills the app or closes the app and reopens it.

    To see the last synchronisation date and time, tap on the monogram to access the sidebar menu and then tap on the menu item named “Status”. If the last synchronisation timestamp is outdated, just kill/close the app and reopen it to sync the app with DigiVerse backend and fetch the latest inspections (or work orders).

  • Q33. App is showing "Failed to get push token for push notification!" alert message. What to do?

    This message appears when the permission for push notifications is denied for the CBRE DigiVerse app. Please provide all the required permissions for the proper functioning of the application.

    To enable push notifications for CBRE DigiVerse app:

    1. Go to your device’s setting app.
    2. Scroll down and tap on the “Notifications” or “Apps & notifications” option.
    3. Find CBRE DigiVerse App in the list and tap on it.
    4. Toggle on the “Allow Notifications” option.
  • Q34. Where can I raise the issues related to maximo?
  • Q35. How can I resolve the issue of CBRE DigiVerse app not syncing parts and materials with Maximo, as well as the inability to update parts, materials, and labor hours on the tech app, given that submitting a work order on DigiVerse app changes its status to complete and it doesn't appear on the tech app?
    At present, the CBRE DigiVerse app does not sync the parts, materials, and labour hours to Maximo. We are working on incorporating this functionality, but in the meantime, you can follow this workaround:
    1. First open the work order in the CBRE DigiVerse app and finish all the listed tasks.
    2. Before submitting the work order in DigiVerse, open the tech app and submit the parts, materials, and labour hours for that specific work order.
    3. Finally, return to the CBRE DigiVerse app and hit the submit button.
  • Q36. Is it possible to utilize the CBRE DigiVerse app to assign a specific work order to a particular CBRE Mobile Technician (MT)?

    No, the CBRE DigiVerse doesn’t have the functionality to directly assign/reassign work orders. Work order assignments are handled by Maximo, which is responsible for assigning vendor/realm codes to work orders. The app communicates with Maximo and presents users with work orders assigned by Maximo, taking into account the vendor/realm code, country and user roles.

  • Q37. Is it possible for vendors to utilize the CBRE DigiVerse app to assign work orders to their employees?

    No, the CBRE DigiVerse app does not have the capability to directly assign or reassign work orders. Instead, work order assignments are managed by Maximo. The app interacts with Maximo to display users with work orders assigned by Maximo, considering factors such as the vendor code, and country. As a result, all employees from a specific vendor can view all the open inspections assigned to that vendor.

  • Q38. Can inspection reports from multiple work orders conducted at the same station on the same day or for a single asset be consolidated into a single report?

    No, it is not feasible to combine inspection reports from multiple work orders conducted on the same day for a single asset or station. Each work order submitted by the user and accepted by Maximo generates an individual inspection report.

  • Q39. Can a single vendor company purchase a single CBRE DigiVerse license, or do they need to acquire licenses for each employee individually?

    CBRE DigiVerse licenses are assigned on a per-user basis, rather than to the vendor company as a whole. Therefore, each vendor within the company must obtain individual licenses if they wish to use the CBRE DigiVerse app. It’s important to note that sharing of credentials is prohibited, and simultaneous login on multiple devices is not permitted. Violation of these rules will result in automatic logout and potential loss of inspection data.

  • Q40. Is it possible to view the work order history in the CBRE DigiVerse app? Does the app display closed/completed inspections as well?

    The CBRE DigiVerse app only displays inspections that are assigned to users based on vendor/realm code and have statuses such as Dispatched, In progress and Acknowledged. Work orders that are closed, completed, or on hold are not shown on the CBRE DigiVerse app.

  • Q41. Is it possible to access dashboards and graphs within the CBRE DigiVerse app for analyzing various metrics such as the number of finished work orders, the count of inspections carried out for CM work orders promptly repaired on-site, and the number of work orders with pending follow-on tasks that still need attention, etc.?

    The CBRE DigiVerse app does not provide dashboard functionality. Users should utilize the MyVantage tool to access the dashboard and analyze relevant information, allowing them to take appropriate actions based on the insights gained.

  • Q42. What is the purpose of the "Force Upload" button? Is it intended for manual uploads?

    The force upload button is not intended for manual uploads. The upload process will occur automatically as usual. However, if for any reason the automatic upload fails, this button can be used as a backup option.

  • Q43. Why am I unable to see the "Download reports" tile on the home page of the app?

    The “Download reports” feature is only available for global and country admins. CBRE MTs and L3 users will not see this option.

  • Q44. To whom is the Inspection Report provided?

    Currently, the Inspection Report is only accessible to country administrators and individuals whose email addresses have been input into the application at the time of the inspection. If users provide their email addresses in the app, they will also receive the report.

  • Q45. What could be causing the problem with the blank Classification Categories section?

    The issue might arise from the master data download not being successful.

    We recommend the following steps:

    1. Kill and Reopen the App: Close the application and reopen it 2 to 3 times, leaving a gap of at least 1 minute between each cycle. This action should trigger the download of the master data. Check if the Classification Categories list appears.
    2. Logout and Log Back In: If the issue persists, log out of the application and then log back in. This process will initiate the download of the master data again. After logging back in, verify if the Classification Categories section is populated.
