How can I troubleshoot login issues in Jolt Software?

Troubleshooting Login Issues in Jolt Software

Purpose

Help users resolve common login issues across Jolt applications and identify when additional support is needed.


Before You Start

Confirm the user is:

  • Using the correct Jolt application

  • Entering the correct email and password

  • Attempting login with an active account

If unsure, proceed with general troubleshooting below.


General Login Troubleshooting

1. Verify Credentials

  • Double-check email and password

  • Ensure caps lock is off

  • Reset password if needed


2. Refresh or Sync the Device

On supported devices (including JPS):

  • Tap the Jolt logo in the left panel

  • Wait for the sync indicator to complete

  • Attempt login again


3. Restart the Device or App

  • Close and reopen the application

  • Or restart the device completely

  • Retry login after restart


Account Access Issues

Employee Cannot Log In After Being Added

If a user was recently added to a location:

  • Check the verification email

  • Ask the user to complete account setup via the email link

  • Ensure the account password has been created


Role-Based or Location Login

Some accounts require location-based access instead of username/password:

  • Select “Connect to a Location” on the login screen

  • Scan the QR code provided by a Jolt admin

  • Complete login through location pairing


Device-Specific Issues (JPS / Shared Devices)

If login fails on a shared device:

  • Confirm the device is connected to WiFi

  • Perform a device sync (Jolt logo sync action)

  • Restart the device if syncing does not resolve the issue

If needed:

  • Reset the app from Settings → About → Reset App

  • Retry login after reset completes


Password or Account Problems

If password reset does not resolve login:

  • Confirm the email is associated with an active Jolt account

  • Ensure the account has been fully set up and verified


When to Escalate

Escalate to Support if:

  • Login continues to fail after password reset and device sync

  • The account cannot be found or verified

  • Location connection QR code is not working

  • Multiple users are affected


Support Guidance

  • Start with credential and verification checks before device resets

  • Avoid performing full resets too early in troubleshooting

  • Clearly distinguish between account, location, and device issues

  • Escalate when authentication or account status is unclear
