How to use your Solo Account to create and manage jobs independently, outside of any team operation.

Your Solo Jobs

Your Solo Account lets you create and document jobs entirely independently — no team, no event, just you and your patient records.

Overview

IndieBase gives every user the option to have their own Solo Account: a personal workspace that sits alongside any team memberships you have. When you switch to your Solo Account and create a job, that job belongs only to you. It won't appear in anyone else's job list, it isn't tied to an event, and there's no shared command-and-control view.

Solo jobs work identically to team jobs under the hood — the same patient record form, the same offline-first behaviour, the same check-in and sync workflow. The only real difference is context: you're the only crew member, there's no event to link the job to, and the records are stored against your personal account rather than a shared team.

This makes solo jobs useful for private practitioners, individual contractors, and anyone who wants to maintain a personal clinical logbook alongside — or instead of — working within a team.

Before You Start

  • You must have a Solo Account set up. If you haven't created one yet, go to your profile page at /user/profile and look for the Solo Account section. If no Solo Account exists, you'll see a Create button there.
  • You must be switched to your Solo Account before creating a solo job. Jobs created whilst on a team account belong to that team, not to you personally.
  • You need to be logged in and have access to the app at /app/.

Switching to Your Solo Account

If you belong to more than one account (for example, both a Solo Account and a team account), you'll see a Switch Team option in the sidebar navigation.

Step 1: Open the navigation drawer

On the app (/app/), tap the menu icon (three horizontal bars) at the top left of the screen to open the navigation drawer.

On the web interface (/web/), the sidebar is already visible. Look for the Switch Team item in the navigation list.

Step 2: Switch to your Solo Account

Tap or click Switch Team. A list of your available accounts appears. Select Solo Account — it's identified by the user-doctor icon rather than a team logo or team name.

Once switched, the top navigation bar will show a user-doctor icon in place of a team name — this is your visual confirmation that your Solo Account is active.

Switch Team only appears when you belong to more than one account. If you have a Solo Account and no team memberships, you're already on your Solo Account by default — no switching is needed.


Creating a Solo Job

With your Solo Account active, creating a job works exactly the same as creating any other job.

Step 1: Go to the home screen

Navigate to /app/ if you aren't already there. You'll see the Jobs list — which will be empty if you haven't created any solo jobs yet.

Step 2: Check your crew

Tap the CREW button at the top left. For solo use, you'll typically want to leave the Event field blank — there's no event to link a solo job to. Your name is already listed as the sole crew member.

A callsign isn't required for solo use. You can leave it blank if it's not relevant to your practice.

Tap Save to confirm, or tap outside the drawer to close it without making changes.

Step 3: Tap New Job

Tap the New Job button (top right, with a siren icon). IndieBase creates the job instantly on your device and takes you straight into the job editor.

The job is created with:

Field Value
999 / Incident Date & Time The current date and time
Owning account Your Solo Account
Event None (no event is linked)
Crew Your name as the only crew member
PRF template The default template for your Solo Account

Step 4: Fill in the job details

Complete the Job Details panel with the relevant information. The fields available depend on how your Solo Account's PRF template is configured, but typically include job type, priority, and location.

The Event field will not appear on solo jobs because there is no event context when operating under your Solo Account.

Step 5: Add a patient and complete the record

From here, adding a patient and completing the clinical record works identically to any other job. Tap NEW PATIENT in the job editor to create a patient record, then work through the clinical panels as normal.

See Filling in the Patient Record for a full walkthrough of clinical documentation.

Step 6: Mark the job as done and check it in

When you've finished, tap Job Done in the sidebar to close the job. Then tap the three-dot menu (ellipsis icon) on the job card and select Check-In to sync the job to the server.

If you're offline when you mark the job as done, the check-in will happen automatically once your connection is restored.

How Solo Jobs Differ from Event Jobs

Solo Job Event Job
Owning account Your Solo Account Your team account
Event link None Linked to an event
Visible to others No - only you Yes - visible to team admins and other crew
Crew members Just you Your crew plus any other crews on the event
Command & Control Not applicable Visible on the event show page
PRF template Your Solo Account's template Your team or event template

Viewing Your Solo Jobs

Your solo jobs appear in two places.

On the app home screen (/app/) — whilst your Solo Account is active, all your solo jobs appear here. Jobs that have been checked in show as AVAILABLE rather than CHECKED OUT TO THIS DEVICE.

On the Browse Jobs page — under the User section of the web sidebar, Browse Jobs shows every job you've ever been crewed on, across all your teams and your Solo Account. The Team column identifies which account each job belongs to.

Your Logbook also spans all accounts automatically. Use the Team filter on the Logbook page to scope the view to your solo activity only. See User Profile & Logbook for details.


Tips & Best Practices

  • Switch accounts before creating the job. If you accidentally create a job under a team account, it will be associated with that team and visible to team administrators. There's no way to move a job between accounts after it's been created.
  • Your Solo Account has its own PRF template. Configuration set under your Solo Account — drugs, interventions, hospitals — is separate from any team you belong to. If your solo template needs updating, switch to your Solo Account and adjust it from Team Settings on the web interface.
  • Solo jobs still sync to the server. Your Solo Account is a full IndieBase account. Jobs sync to the server, you can view them on the web, generate PDFs, and access them from any device. Nothing is stored only on your device.
  • Add extra crew if you need to. Even on a solo job, you can add other users as crew members via the CREW button. They'll need to be members of your Solo Account to appear in the list.

Troubleshooting

I created a job but it's showing under my team, not my Solo Account. You were switched to your team account when you tapped New Job. Jobs can't be moved between accounts after they've been created. If the record is important, recreate it under your Solo Account whilst switched to it.

The Solo Account option isn't showing in Switch Team. You may not have a Solo Account set up yet. Go to your profile page at /user/profile and scroll to the Solo Account section. If no Solo Account exists, you'll see a form to create one.

I can't see the Switch Team option anywhere. Switch Team only appears when you belong to more than one account. If you only have a Solo Account and no team memberships, you're already on your Solo Account — no switching is required.

The Event field is appearing in my solo job. Make sure you are fully switched to your Solo Account. If the top navigation still shows a team name instead of the user-doctor icon, you're still on a team account. Switch accounts and try again.

My solo jobs aren't appearing when I log in on a different device. Solo jobs that are still checked out to a device won't appear as available on another device until they've been checked in. Check in the job from the original device, or use Force Checkout from the three-dot menu on the second device.
