2. Jobulator - Activation After downloading Jobulator from the Play Store, the program will most likely ask you to enter your user information. If you have downloaded the Jobulator program but you do not see it open on your device, open your apps and find Jobulator. Tap Jobulator to open the app.

Select the country where your school district is located. (There is currently one exception to this standard country code: one Canadian school district is on the US system. If you receive an error and you believe you are typing in the correct information, try selecting a different country.) Enter your User ID and Aesop PIN. Your User ID is the email address you used to sign up for Jobulator. Finally, tap Login. As soon as the email address and Aesop PIN have been verified, your Jobulator mobile app activates and Jobulator begins polling for jobs at a default rate of once every minute.

Jobulator runs even when it is in the background. You can have other apps open, be texting, or even have the screen off and Jobulator will notify you of available positions. Exceptions include when… 1. Your phone isn’t powered on. 2. You haven’t activated/launched the Jobulator app. 3. You are using the phone features on your smartphone.

3. Jobulator - Tab Navigation The main tool to navigate through the Jobulator app is the Navigation Bar at the bottom of the screen. You will notice four main sections: Jobs, Messages, Settings, and Help. Tapping on any of these icons will take you to the main screen of that portion of the mobile app.

4. Jobulator - Jobs Screens The Jobs screen displays a summary of each available job: the shift type, the position, the employee’s name, the school, the school district and the start date and time of the absence.

In this view, you can choose to view more details by tapping on the job information. A user can also reject a job directly from the main jobs screen. The Reject button will appear if you swipe from right to left on the job information. The Details screen will allow you to see job notes, get directions, accept and reject the job. Tap the “Jobs” tab or use the Android back button if you wish to return to the main Jobs screen.

You must enter the correct PIN in the white PIN box before tapping the accept button. PIN entry is used to verify that it is actually you accepting the job. You can choose whether or not you would like Jobulator to enter this PIN for you. Please review section 7 of this booklet to learn more. Once the PIN is entered correctly, tap Accept. If the job is accepted and assigned to you, Jobulator displays and “Accepted” message. The job’s confirmation number, notes, and lesson plans will all be displayed. The details of the Job can also be added to your mobile devices Google Calendar using the Add to Calendar button. The job is also viewable on your Aesop homepage and interactive calendar. Additionally, if Aesop knows your email address it will automatically send you an email with your confirmation number, letting you know that you successfully accepted the job via Jobulator.

Tap the Jobs tab or use the Android back button to return to the main Jobs screen.

5. Jobulator - Messages Screens The next tab on Jobulator is Messages. Jobulator will display three types of messages: Aesop Notifications, Jobulator Messages and Web Alerts from your school district(s). Aesop Notifications will display any positions that have had the start time changed or that you are no longer needed for. From time to time, employees have their plans change and they decide not to take an already scheduled absence. When that is the case, Jobulator lets you know and asks that you acknowledge that you have received this message.

Jobulator Messages are notifications from the Jobulator team concerning updates, planned maintenance, features, etc. These messages do not need to be acknowledged. You will also receive messages that your district Aesop Administrators post to your Aesop homepage. These messages will be posted under the Web Alerts tab.

6. Jobulator - Calendar Screens The Calendar tab offers quick access to a monthly view of all your accepted jobs and non-work days. Accepted jobs are displayed in blue. Standard non-work days are displayed in gray. Yellow days are non-work days automatically created by a business rule set up by your school district. Tap anywhere on this calendar to automatically log into Aesop.

7. Jobulator - Settings Screens The Settings tab allows you to control the program’s behavior, sound preferences and version of the Jobulator program. Please note that settings apply as soon as they are changed. You do not need to tap a “save” button on Jobulator Mobile.

The first section is General Settings . The Refresh Interval is how often Jobulator will ask Aesop if there are any jobs waiting for you. For the most frequent searching, set the refresh interval to one minute (the maximum allowed by Aesop’s End License User Agreement). By default Remember my PIN is selected. This makes it so Jobulator will automatically remember and enter the PIN that you used to activate Jobulator when accepting a job. Turning on Show notifications when Jobulator is getting jobs causes the app to display an on screen message each time that it searches for jobs. These notifications appear over all other apps that you are using. This feature is designed to help users verify that the app is working in the background. The final setting is My Address. This allows the user to enter an address that should be used as the “Start” location when opening the map feature. The Restore Defaults button at the bottom of the General Settings page will set all settings to the standard settings.

The Sound Settings control the sounds of your Jobulator app. Mute all Jobulator sounds will prevent all Jobulator sound notifications from playing. We recommend that you select Play audio alert when new jobs arrive. This setting allows Jobulator to play a sound when a new job becomes available (unless “Mute All” is selected). By default, Use Android’s default notification sound is selected. This means that Jobulator will use the phone’s sound settings for notifications. If you wish to use a different sound scheme, unselect the Android default check box and select your sound in the browse boxes (…) below. The “Jobulator Desktop” sound is also available by unselecting “Use Android’s default notification checkbox and leaving the New Jobs Sound set to “Default.” The final Settings page is About. The About screen displays the version of the Jobulator application that you are currently running.

9. Jobulator - Other Features and Controls Notifications Jobulator mobile for Android uses your phone’s standard notification feature to notify you of available positions. If your screen is off (the phone must be powered on) or you are using another app, you will receive an audible notification sound. The Jobulator icon will appear in the notification bar at the top of the screen. Open Jobulator by either tapping the app icon or dragging the notification bar down from top to bottom and tapping the Jobulator notification.

Icons As with the desktop version, your Android phone will allow you to create a shortcut icon on your home screen. To create a shortcut, open your apps and then press and hold the Jobulator icon. After a moment, your Android phone will allow you to place the icon shortcut on your home screen. Just drag the icon to where you would like it to be placed. Letting go of the image will place it on the home screen. This can also be accomplished by pressing and holding a location on the home screen where you would like to add the shortcut icon.

Maps Jobulator uses the Android’s built-in mapping tools when you select the “Map” button for a particular school. On many Android devices, you will be asked which tool you would like to use to complete the action. We encourage you to use the Android’s Maps tool if it is available on your device. If you have saved your address in the General Settings, the map will automatically provide directions from that location to the school. Otherwise tap the on screen address and then the Directions button.

Test My Jobulator You can test your Jobulator sounds by clicking the Help tab and choosing Test My Jobulator App. The first thing Jobulator will test is your connection to the service. Once it connects successfully, acknowledge by tapping OK. You will then have the option to test your notification sound or send a test job. To test your sounds, click the Test Notification Sound button. Jobulator will then prompt you through adjusting your sound settings.

Jobulator will also allow you to send yourself a test job. First, click Send a Test Job. You will notice a notification appear at the top of your screen. Pull down your notifications and select the notification from Jobulator. You will then see the Test Job in your list of Jobs. Tap it to view the details, accept or reject.
