Now you need to connect to your organization which serves you.
- Click on the QR code symbol and scan the QR code you have received
To send a report just click "Report an incident" and then the buttons which best characterize the issue you have. It will be sent automatically once you have completed the (few) pages as provided.
2. General
Please note that these pages describe how to register and use Tellit in general.
Shown pictures may not always reflect the exact version you have due to continuous enhancements.
To connect to an organization to really be able to usilize Tellit you will need a QR code as described below.
3. Registration (one-time)
To use Tellit please register first and connect to your entity / community.
Tellit displays the following screen to start the registration.
- Preselected area or pupose: It may be that there is a lower part which shows the respective area or a specific purpose. Normally the shown pre-selection fits and should not be changed. Only in rare cases and depending on the settings of your mobile phone the drop down menu allows to select the correct region. The different areas host different organization. I.e. you will find your organization only in the area where the organization belongs to. Accordingly the registration will be performed for the selected area only.
- New mobile phone: This is only relevant if you have a Tellit registration and you have changed your mobile phone. See a later chapter please.
- If you need any help the link at the end of the page normally directs to (this) user manual.
3.1 Register with Tellit
Click on "Register" to get the registration screen and fill the fields accordingly.
- The language will be pre-selected based on the setting of the mobile device and the languages Tellit is providing.
- The homeaddress, even if it is shown as optional, should be added because many organizations will require it in a later step. It helps to more quickly complete incidents if they are around your own home.
Click "Register" and look out for an email sent to you with a verification code. Check the spam folder please in case the email cannot be found:
Enter the sent PIN code into the verification screen:
Clicking on continue completes the registration:
3.2 Login and connect to your entity (e.g. community)
Please login with the password you selected:
The following screen indicates that there is no entity / community / organization connected yet and you need to scan a provided QR code.
Press the above shown QR code symbol and scan the provided QR code; if it is known it will show the respective organization instantly:
It is not unlikely that the community has own T&Cs with privacy rules to be accepted - and in some cases and for higher security the community / organization may ask you to enter a password, which you should get from your organization:
After clicking on "Link entity" you will be connected (note that optionally you may be greeted by a welcome message):
Note that at the end of the page you will, again, find a link to the use manual or an individual page of your organization and/or a contact. The latter will open an email in your standard email client with pre-set "to"-address and subject. Please describe your issue as good as possible.
4. Use Tellit
To use Tellit is as easy as to switch on a light!
Note that the following screens are examples only. Some of them may not appear because they are not needed for a specific incident. Some may show a questionaire type of selection - it depends on the individual situation which information will be asked for.
4.1 Send an incident
If you spotted an incident you want to send click on "Report an incident" and select the appropriate menu item:
Now select the (sub-)item that matches best to your concern. If you feel you are not at the right place press the back button and select another menu item from the above shown menu.
"Public areas" may for instance contain:
It may be that you are asked to make a selection for defining a location like the following screenshot with the choices:
- Use my current position => this will use the GPS coordinates of your current position.
- Use map => this will show you a map, see below.
- Enter address => this allows you to enter any address.
- Use my homw address => this uses your home address (if keyed in before)
- I have no specific address => may be used if there is no need to enter an address.
If you receive a screen with a map please indicate the position where the incident is or was taking place:
You may now add one or more photos or videos, newly taken with your camera or already existing on your mobile device.
Also you can add the reason for the incident and/or some details you think are important to know. In some cases you may be asked a specific question which will help the receiver to more specifically react to the sent report.
Clicking on "Continue" will send the report and show you a confirmation:
Important: You do not need to worry about whom to send the issue! The system knows that and sends it to the respective person.
4.2 Look up your sent incidents
Clicking on "Incidents reported" from the Tellit main screen shows the reports you have sent with the following choices / funktionality - depending on the organization's choices:
- Note that the "incidents reported" button itself indicates with the red dot if there is any news.
- After clicking on the button the list of reported incidents will be shown with the status of each incident and, in red, if there is any news.
- The detailed page mirrors the sent information and any information which was added later on by the end user or the team working on the incident.
- On the detailed page another comment or photo / video can be added for an incident as long as it is in the status "open".
This gives an ongoing overview about what happens or happened to your sent incidents
5. Reset your password / password forgotten
In case you do no longer know your chosen password press the button "Reset Password" from the login screen.
The system will then inform you that it will send you a PIN verification code and to which email address it will be sent.
Click "Continue" and look out for an email sent to you with a verification code. Check the spam folder please in case the email cannot be found:
Enter the sent PIN code into the verification screen:

6. I have a new mobile phone - how to move my Tellit account?
In case you have a new phone and like to use your existing Tellit account please download the Tellit app on the new phone. The system will automatically show the registration page. Simply click on the button below the question "New mobile phone?":
The system will then ask you to enter your phone number and email address.
Important: Please use the same data as with your existing Tellit registration so that the system can find your credentials.
Once found and in order to verify you, you will receive a 6 digit verification code by email same way as with the original registration. Please look up your email and enter the code into the form. If the email does not appear look in the spam folder please.
After a successful verification you will have access to your account as on the previous device.
Note that the previous device can no longer be used accessing your Tellit account. However you are free to move back to your previous phone with exactly the same mechanism.

In case you may have more connected entities, e.g. two homes in different communities and sell one you may want to disconnect from a connection. To do this please select "Configure entities" from the settings menu and remove the connection no longer needed.
7.4 Send emails to yourself
If you wish to also receive emails about your reported issue this can be done by selecting "Contact Persons" from the settings menu and then "Manually contacts to inform":

7.5 User settings
The user settings menu allows to specifiy whether ot not notices and/or new information about incidents shall be sent. Normally all flags should be set to "yes".
This menu also may display a button "Change area". This button can be used to connect to a different area, country or server. NOTE: As with registration the preselected area should normally be the one to be used. Switching to another area leads to having no more access to the previous one at the same time.
