Timetabling Solutions cloud apps are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

PWAs are websites that can be installed on your device and behave like traditional apps. They offer convenience for frequent use, but are not always necessary.

When to Install a PWA vs. Just Use the Browser

✅ Install as a PWA when:

  • You use the app daily or weekly (e.g., Management Portal, Daily Organiser).

  • You want fast access from the desktop, taskbar, Dock, or Start Menu.

  • You prefer an app-like experience without browser tabs and address bars.

  • You need offline support or faster loading via cached content.

  • You want separate storage and logins (keeps data distinct from other browser tabs).

? Use the browser URL when:

  • You rarely access the app (monthly or less).

  • You want to avoid clutter in your Start Menu or Dock.

  • You need a quick one-time login

⚖️ Summary

  • PWA = Best for regular, business-critical tools.

  • Browser URL = Best for occasional access.
