3.1.5 Desktop vs. mobile steps for creating a bowler

Desktop vs. mobile steps for creating a bowler

3.1.5   UI

 

Creating a bowler profile in Spectre Cloud follows the same logical sequence on every device — but the navigation, layout, and controls differ between the desktop and mobile interfaces. This page provides a side-by-side reference for both experiences, so staff working on any device can complete the process confidently without switching between instructions.

Note: This page focuses on the step-by-step navigation for creating a new bowler profile. For a full explanation of each profile field and what to enter, see 3.1.2 (required fields) and 3.1.3–3.1.4 (optional fields). This page assumes you have already read those pages and are ready to work through the creation steps on your device.

🖥️ Creating a Bowler — Desktop

On desktop, the Bowlers section is accessible directly from the top navigation bar. The profile creation form typically presents fields in a multi-column layout, making it possible to complete the full intake in a single view without extensive scrolling.

  1. From any screen, click BOWLERS in the top navigation menu. The bowler list opens.
  2. Click the New Bowler button — typically located in the upper right of the bowler list view. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm the exact label and position of the new bowler button in the current desktop UI.
  3. The new bowler form opens. Enter the bowler's full name in the name field.
  4. Select the bowler's dominant hand — Right or Left.
  5. Select the bowler's grip type — Fingertip, Conventional, or Semi-Fingertip.
  6. Enter any contact information available — email and/or phone number.
  7. Enter any optional fitting measurements available — PAP, axis tilt, axis rotation, rev rate, ball speed, hand flexibility, CLT. Leave blank any fields not yet measured.
  8. Add any relevant notes in the notes field.
  9. Click Save to create the profile. The bowler's profile page opens immediately. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm the exact save button label and whether the user is taken to the new profile page or back to the bowler list after saving.

Desktop Tips

  • ✅ The multi-column desktop layout lets you see all sections of the form simultaneously — use this to confirm all intended fields have been filled before saving.
  • ✅ Tab key navigation moves focus between fields in sequence — useful for moving quickly through the form during a busy fitting session.
  • ✅ If the bowler is standing at the counter, the desktop form is large enough to face toward them for confirmation of name spelling and contact details.

📱 Creating a Bowler — Mobile

On mobile, the Bowlers section is accessed via the avatar icon in the top navigation area rather than a labelled text button. The profile creation form presents fields in a single scrolling column — all the same fields are available, but the layout adapts to the narrower screen.

  1. From any screen, tap the avatar icon in the top navigation area. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm the exact position and appearance of the avatar icon in the current mobile UI — top left, top right, or other location.
  2. The bowler list opens. Tap the New Bowler button or the + icon. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm the exact label and appearance of the new bowler control in the mobile UI.
  3. The new bowler form opens as a scrolling single-column view. Enter the bowler's full name.
  4. Select the bowler's dominant hand.
  5. Select the bowler's grip type.
  6. Scroll down to enter contact information and any available fitting measurements.
  7. Add any relevant notes.
  8. Tap Save to create the profile. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm whether the save button is fixed at the bottom of the screen on mobile or appears at the end of the scrolling form.

Mobile Tips

  • ✅ On a phone or small tablet, complete only the required fields and key measurements during the fitting — the profile can be filled in more fully on desktop later.
  • ✅ Landscape orientation gives a slightly wider form view on tablets — useful when entering multiple measurement fields.
  • ✅ If the keyboard is covering input fields, scroll up slightly after tapping a field to ensure the label is visible above the keyboard.
  • ✅ A minimum 8" screen is recommended for the most comfortable Spectre Cloud experience — on smaller phones some fields may require extra scrolling.

☁️ The Profile Is Immediately Available on All Devices

Regardless of which device is used to create the profile, it is available across all devices on the account the moment it is saved. A profile created on a phone at the lane is visible on the desktop at the counter — and vice versa — with no manual sync required.

  • ✅ Create the profile on whichever device is closest — the device used makes no difference to the result.
  • ✅ Begin a spec sheet on a different device immediately after saving the profile — the bowler record will already be there.

🔄 Starting a Spec Sheet Immediately After Profile Creation

In most fitting sessions, creating a bowler profile is immediately followed by opening a first spec sheet. Spectre Cloud allows this transition without returning to the bowler list — from the newly created profile page, a new spec sheet can be started directly.

  1. After saving the new profile, remain on the bowler's profile page.
  2. Click or tap New Spec Sheet to begin the first spec sheet for this bowler. ⚠️ Verify with your Spectre team: confirm the exact label and location of the new spec sheet button on the bowler profile page, on both desktop and mobile.
  3. The spec sheet form opens with the bowler's profile data — grip type, dominant hand, and any entered measurements — already available to drive auto-suggestions.

Tip: On a busy shop floor, the fastest path from a new bowler walking in to a completed spec sheet is: create the profile with required fields only → start the spec sheet → fill in optional measurements as the fitting progresses. Spectre Cloud's auto-suggestions will improve in real time as measurements are added during the session — you do not need a complete profile before opening a spec sheet.

  • 3.1.4 — Adding contact information and notes to a bowler profile
  • 3.1.3 — Optional profile fields: PAP, axis tilt, axis rotation, rev rate, ball speed
  • 3.1.2 — Required fields: name, hand, grip type
  • 3.1.1 — Creating your first bowler profile
  • 3.1.6 — Editing an existing bowler profile (if applicable)
  • 4.x — Spec Sheet: creating a first spec sheet

Tip: If your shop uses a tablet at the drill press and a desktop at the counter, consider a division of responsibility: front-of-house staff create and maintain profiles on desktop where the full multi-column form is easiest to navigate, while drill press staff open and review spec sheets on the tablet. Both devices access the same data — the workflow division is purely about which form factor suits each task best.
