F2 Manager

The F2 Manager add-on module provides the user with access to cases, meeting materials, approvals (add-on module) on an iPad both online and offline. The module has been developed to support a fully digitalised working environment. F2 Manager helps facilitate and optimise work procedures by providing a mobile and more effective case handling procedure along with paperless meetings on a management level.

In F2 version 11, a new app was introduced: F2 Manager 2. F2 Manager 2 has a new and improved design. Contact cBrain for more information on switching to F2 Manager 2.

The F2 Manager user manual is divided into two parts. The first part concerns the administrative work in F2 Desktop by either the F2 Manager user or by their gatekeeper, such as private office or secretariat. The synchronisation settings for records, cases and meetings are set up in F2 Desktop.

The second part of the user manual concerns the iPad application. The iPad app grants access to synchronised material on the go as well as the use of bookmarks and annotations.

F2 Manager enables an organisation to share documents through iPads, making material available for managers and employees on the go without compromising security, flexibility, and stability.

It is possible to restrict a user’s access so they can only log in via F2 Manager. This means that the user is excluded from using F2 Desktop or F2 Touch. This configuration is performed in cooperation with cBrain.

Using F2 Desktop for administration

The cases, records, and documents to be transferred to the F2 Manager app are selected in F2 Desktop. This is typically done in connection with a meeting as the F2 Manager app is especially helpful when organising meeting materials.

In F2 Desktop gatekeepers can handle approvals on behalf of ministers and other executives using the F2 Gateway Approvals add-on module. Users without a gatekeeper can process approvals in F2 Manager without prior handling on F2 Desktop as described here.

Working in the F2 Manager app

The F2 Manager app has four sections:

  • The meeting planner, which provides an overview of meetings and associated materials.

  • Approvals, where approvals are managed and processed.

  • Bookmarks, which keep track of records and documents that have been bookmarked.

  • Notifications, which provide an overview of new materials and the synchronisation status for the app.

Working in F2 Manager is described in Basic functions in the F2 Manager app.
