Getting Started with Jaktli

Here we'll cover what you need to know to start using Jaktli: download the app, sign in, join or create a hunting team, and understand the roles.

On your phone or in a browser?

You can use Jaktli in two places with the same account:

• On your phone (iPhone or Android): download Jaktli from the App Store or Google Play
• In your browser: go to jaktli.se

Your settings and data are the same wherever you sign in. Many people use the mobile app in the field and the browser when sitting at a computer.

Create an account

1. Open the app or go to jaktli.se
2. Enter your email address
3. First time? Create a password for your account
4. Then sign in with your email and password

Forgot your password?

1. Tap Forgot password on the sign-in page
2. You'll receive a recovery code by email
3. Enter the code in the app and pick a new password

Can't find the email? Check your spam folder. The recovery code expires after a short while, so use it right away.

The first time you sign in

The first time, the app takes you through a short introduction. It takes a few minutes and you can skip every step except your first name.

1. The app asks what you want from Jaktli and what usually goes wrong. The answers help us show the right things.
2. Enter your first name. Last name, phone number and profile picture are optional, but your team recognises you better with them.
3. Add your dog, your weapons and your papers (hunting licence, hunter's exam, weapon licence). Everything can be added later under Profile.
4. On the phone, the app asks whether it may send notifications, so you never miss a hunt call. Tap Not now if you want to wait.
5. Finally you see your hunter card the way the team sees it, and choose whether to create a hunting team, join with a code or wait for an invitation.

If you close the app halfway through, the introduction continues where you left off, even if you sign in in the browser instead. If you skipped something, a reminder shows on the home screen until it is done. Tap the cross if you do not want to see it any more.

Want to go through the introduction again? Open Profile and tap Show the introduction again.

Create or join a hunting team

Create a new team

After signing in:

1. Tap Create team
2. Enter the team name and an optional description
3. You automatically become the secretary (administrator) of the new team

You can invite members during creation by entering their email addresses.

Set up the team

Once the team exists, the app takes you through a short setup. Every step can be skipped, and you can leave at any time with Skip to the team. Whatever you skip is waiting on the home screen under Get the team started.

1. The app asks where the team keeps its map today and what usually goes wrong. The answers steer what we suggest.
2. Add a logo and set the hunting year. The weather follows the map once the ground is in.
3. Add the ground. If the team has its map in WeHunt, Easyhunt or another GPS app, import the file. Otherwise tap Draw the ground in the app and tap out the boundary on the map. In the browser, open the map and draw there. Then add a few stands.
4. Invite the team by email or share the team code.
5. Add the first hunt if you already have a date. The team then gets a call to answer.
6. Finally you see when the trial ends and what it costs after that. Tap Open the team.

The Get the team started card shows for administrators on the home screen until everything is in place. Tap Continue the setup to pick up where you left off, or the cross if you do not want to see the card any more.

Join via invitation

If you've been invited by email:

1. Sign in with the email address the invitation was sent to
2. The team will appear automatically in your team list

Navigation

The home screen shows a tile grid with all features. Tap a tile to open the feature. The hero banner at the top displays the team name, current weather, ongoing or upcoming hunts, and pinned notices.

Features: Map, Calendar, Chat, Hunt log, Team, Contacts, Notice board, Forum, Tasks, Documents, Gallery, Expenses, Blocked periods, Weather, Game cameras, Billing, Team settings.

A live hunt is started from a calendar event or directly from the map; read more in Live hunt.

Customising the home screen

You can choose which tiles are shown and in what order. Tap the pencil at the top right of the home screen. Hold a tile and drag it to where you want it. Tap the eye on a tile to hide it. Hidden tiles are only visible while customising; otherwise they are gone.

Tap Done when you are happy. The layout is saved to your account and follows you to a new phone. To start over, tap Reset.

Roles

There are four administrator roles and several member roles:

Administrators (can manage everything):

• Secretary
• Team lead
• Chairperson
• Board member

Members (see the whole team, take a paid seat):

• Member
• Treasurer
• Dog handler
• Read-only member (sees everything but cannot change the team's information, takes a seat)

Restricted roles (see only a small part, take no seat):

• Guest hunter
• Tracking service provider
• Landowner
• Non-hunting guest
• Farmer

INFO

Only administrators can create group hunts and work days, create notices, invite members, manage documents, manage contacts, import GPX files and fetch property boundaries, and change team settings. Every member except read-only members can draw and edit map features (markers, areas, and lines), and create individual hunts, protective hunts, tasks, and expenses. All members can upload gallery photos. All members can start topics and reply in the forum. Administrators can pin and lock topics and delete other people's posts. The treasurer manages the team's billing and pays the subscription, and can also pay out and edit all expenses.

A read-only member sees everything a regular member sees. They can chat, post in the forum, answer hunt calls, take part in an ongoing hunt and report observations, but cannot change the map, the calendar or the team's other information.

Inviting someone to a hunt is always free

Roles can cost a seat. Inviting someone to a single hunt never does, whatever role they hold, and even if they are not in the team at all. See Guest hunts.

Restricted roles see less

Guest hunter, tracking service provider, landowner, non-hunting guest and farmer only see the map (without being able to change anything), the hunts they are invited to, their own chats, and can report observations and share their dogs during an ongoing hunt. They take no paid seat. Read more under Members.

Not to be confused with an external guest hunter, who is not in the team at all and is invited to a single hunt with a code. See Guest hunts.

Switch language

Jaktli is available in Swedish and English.

1. Open Profile (the person icon in the top-right)
2. Scroll down to Preferred language
3. Pick Svenska or English

The choice is saved on your account and follows you when you sign in on another phone or in the web app.

Help in the app

Need help on a specific screen? Tap the ? icon in the top-right corner. The documentation opens in your browser, on the right page for that screen.

Common questions are collected in the FAQ.

Profile and settings

In the top-right of the home screen there are two icons: a person icon opens Profile and an info icon opens Settings.

Under Profile you change your profile picture, name, phone number, and language. You also manage push and email notifications per team and category, export your data, restart the introduction, and sign out.

Under Settings you read the privacy policy and terms of use, open the documentation, and send feedback. If you're an administrator, you can also delete the team from here.

See Profile and Settings for more.
