PushPulse Tablet App

PushPulse Tablet App Overview

What is the PushPulse Tablet App?

The PushPulse Tablet App runs on the custom PushPulse Tablet and is designed for shared spaces like entrances, hallways, nurses’ stations, and offices. Once paired, it stays in a kiosk-style display and can also be used to trigger alerts (with a code) and receive alerts from other users.

Key concepts

• Location: A physical site (campus, facility, building).

• Space: A specific area within a location (Front Lobby, Children’s Wing, ICU Desk, etc.).

• Paired device: A tablet that’s linked to your account and assigned to a space.

What you can do with the tablet

• Pair the tablet using your org’s pairing code

• Display a kiosk screen (location + space + time + weather)

• Optionally show:

  • Logo

  • Calendar (embedded)

  • Slideshow or background image

• Trigger approved alerts from the tablet (requires staff/admin code)

• Receive alerts sent from mobile or web app

Pair (Link) a Tablet to Your Account

Before you start

You’ll need your org’s pairing code.

Where to find the pairing code

You can find the pairing code in either place:

• Web app: Devices → Settings

• Mobile app: Profile → scroll to bottom (Pairing Code, Admin Code, Staff Code)

Step-by-step: Pair a tablet

1. Open the PushPulse Tablet App on the tablet.

2. When prompted, enter your pairing code.

3. Choose the Location and then the Space you want the tablet assigned to.

4. Confirm pairing.

Once paired, the tablet enters kiosk mode automatically.

What happens after pairing?

• The tablet displays a kiosk screen showing:

  • Location name

  • Space name

  • Time

  • Weather

• The device will appear in the web app under Devices so admins can configure it.

If pairing fails

Try these quick checks:

• Double-check the pairing code (and confirm you’re using the correct org’s code).

• Confirm the tablet has an internet connection.

• If you recently rotated codes, make sure you’re using the latest pairing code from Devices → Settings.

Using the Tablet: Kiosk Display & Sending Alerts

Kiosk display (default view)

After pairing, the tablet stays in a kiosk-style view and can show:

• Location + space name

• Time/date (optional)

• Weather (optional)

• Logo (optional)

• Connection status (optional)

• Calendar (optional)

• Slideshow (optional)

These are controlled by an admin in the web app (see “Devices” articles below).

Triggering an alert from the tablet

The tablet includes a shield icon in the top-right corner for quickly starting an alert.

Start an alert

1. Tap the shield icon (top-right).

2. Enter a PIN:

   • Staff access code or Admin access code both work.

3. Select the alert you want to send.

4. A countdown begins. You can:

   • Type send now to send immediately, or

   • Cancel to stop the alert.

Tip: Consider limiting who knows the staff/admin codes. Treat them like keys.

Receiving alerts on the tablet

Tablets can also receive alerts sent from:

• Mobile users

• Web app users

• Other authorized senders in your org

When an alert is received, it will display on the tablet based on your organization’s alert behavior.
