Completing Your Profile

The first time you sign in, FastQuery walks you through a short profile setup. Everyone does this — admins and invited team members alike — and the app unlocks once you finish. It only takes a minute or two.

You’ll set your name and photo, tell FastQuery about your job so it can tailor itself to you, and pick the hours you’re on shift. You only do this once: finish on any device and you’re set everywhere.

The role interview

Section titled “The role interview”

The heart of the setup is a quick conversation about what you do. FastQuery asks about your job — for example, “What’s your role at the store, and what do you spend most of your day on?” — and you answer out loud or by typing. It listens, asks a follow-up question or two until it has a clear picture, and then Continue becomes available.

There’s no wrong answer here. The more naturally you describe your work — “I run the paint counter and handle special orders” — the better FastQuery tunes its answers to what you actually do.

Two phone screens side by side showing FastQuery's onboarding role interview. On the left, the interview is empty — Role, Skills, Certifications, Experience, Constraints, and Schedule all read MISSING, the assistant asks "Tell me about your job," and a "Hold and Speak" button sits below a disabled Continue button. On the right, the profile is filled in from the spoken answers: role "Cashier - Front End," skills, a green-highlighted certification just added, and a weekly schedule of hours, with the message "Your profile is complete! Press Continue to save it."

Your work schedule

Section titled “Your work schedule”

You’ll also set your work schedule — the hours you’re normally on shift. FastQuery uses this to decide when to send you push notifications, so you’re not pinged about tasks and updates when you’re off the clock.

On a phone you can also turn on the option to snooze notifications outside your scheduled hours. You can always change your schedule later from your profile.

Phone screen titled "Role Details" showing a completed FastQuery profile: role, skills, certifications, experience, constraints, and a weekly Schedule listing each day's hours (for example Mon 07:00–15:00, Sun off). A "Hold and Speak" button lets the user update the profile by voice.

On a computer

Section titled “On a computer”

On the web, profile setup is two quick steps: your name and photo, then the role interview. If your computer doesn’t have a microphone, you can type your answers instead — nothing is lost.

A note on screen size: the FastQuery web app is built for large screens. If you open it in a small browser window or on a phone, you’ll see a message asking you to install the mobile app instead. That’s expected — for anything on a small screen, reach for the mobile app.

On a phone

Section titled “On a phone”

In the mobile app the setup is a little longer — around five steps. Along with your name, photo, role interview, and work schedule, the app asks for a few permissions so its best features work:

A FastQuery team member speaking a question into the app by voice

  • Microphone — so you can ask questions by voice instead of typing.

A FastQuery team member scanning a product barcode with the phone camera

  • Camera — for scanning barcodes and snapping product photos.

A FastQuery team member glancing at a notification that just arrived on the phone

  • Notifications — so task updates and alerts reach you during your shift.

Granting all three gives you the best experience, but you can grant them later from your phone’s settings if you skip one now.

Editing your profile later

Section titled “Editing your profile later”

Your profile isn’t locked in. Open your profile any time to update your name, photo, role description, or work schedule — change your hours when your shift changes, or refine how you describe your job so FastQuery’s answers stay on point.
