For Residents

Step 1: Download the App or Access Web Portal

1. Get the GateFlux app
   Download GateFlux from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). Search for "GateFlux" or ask your society admin for a direct link.
   
   Alternatively, access the web portal at your society's GateFlux URL.

Step 2: Create Account or Log In

1. Open the app and enter your phone number
   Use the phone number registered with your society.
2. Enter the OTP
   You'll receive a one-time password via SMS. Enter it to verify your number.
3. Select your flat
   If you own or rent multiple flats, choose the one you want to manage.

For Security Guards

Security guards use the GateFlux Guard app — a dedicated mobile app designed for gate operations. You'll use it to check visitors in and out, scan QR codes, and request resident approvals.

Step 1: Get the Guard App

Download the GateFlux Guard app from the App Store or Google Play. Your society admin will provide you with login credentials — guards do not self-register.

Step 2: Log In

1. Open the GateFlux Guard app
2. Enter your email address and password provided by your admin
3. Tap Sign In — you do not use OTP login
4. Select your assigned gate if your society has multiple entry points

Step 3: Your First Check-In

1. Pre-approved visitor (QR code) — Tap Scan QR and point the camera at the visitor's QR code. The app will show their name, flat, and allowed time window. Tap Check In.
2. Walk-in visitor (no QR) — Tap Walk-In Entry, enter their name, phone, and which flat they're visiting, then tap Request Approval. The resident receives a notification to allow or deny.
3. Checking out — When a visitor leaves, go to Currently Inside, find them, and tap Check Out.

For Admins

Society admins manage residents, staff, settings, and all society operations through the GateFlux web portal or mobile app.

Step 1: Access the Admin Panel

1. Open your browser and go to your app URL (e.g., https://app.gateflux.co/login).
2. Log in with your email and password
3. If your account belongs to multiple societies, select the society workspace you want to manage.
4. You'll land on the Admin Dashboard — your central control panel

Step 2: Add Your Team

1. Go to Settings → User Management
2. Add committee members (Secretary, Treasurer, President) with their email addresses and assign their roles
3. Add security staff from Staff → Add Staff — set their role as Guard and assign them to a gate
4. Add residents individually or import via CSV from Residents → Import
