Use the Hive mobile app

Find your way around the Hive app on iPhone, iPad and Android: the tab bar, notifications, the sidebar, the Apps page, Search and Account.

Written by Ellen Kajca

Use the Hive app to see your actions, projects, messages, dashboards and notifications on your phone. Get the app from the App Store or Google Play. To get new features, keep the app up to date from the store.

The tab bar

The tab bar is at the bottom of the screen. It has:

  • Home, always first.

  • Three apps that you choose. By default, these are Projects, Messages and Dashboards. If your workspace does not use one of these apps, the next app takes its place.

  • Search, next to the bar.

Change the apps in the tab bar

  1. Open the Apps page (see "The Apps page" below).

  2. Touch and hold an app. Edit tab bar opens.

  3. Drag apps onto the bar.

  4. Tap ✓ to save, or ✕ to cancel.

Home and Search always stay in the bar.

Notifications

Notifications is not a tab. To see your notifications, tap the bell at the top right of the screen. The bell shows on the main page of each tab.

  • A number on the bell shows your unread notifications in Me.

  • A dot on the bell shows that you have other unread notifications.

If your tab bar had Notifications in it, the app replaced it with another app. You cannot add Notifications to the tab bar.

Work with notifications

  • Use the tabs at the top: All, Me, Mentions, Archived and Pinned.

  • Tap a notification to open the action or message.

  • Touch and hold a notification to Mark as read (or Mark as unread), Pin it or Archive it.

  • To change many notifications at one time, tap ⋮, then Select. Select the notifications, or tap Select all. Then tap Read or Archive.

  • To clear the list, tap ⋮, then Mark all as read or Archive all.

  • Tap Filters to show All, Unread or Read notifications, and to select the notification types you want to see. Tap Clear filters to see all notifications again.

  • To choose which notifications you get, tap ⋮, then Notification settings.

The sidebar

To open the sidebar, tap the sidebar button at the top left, or swipe right from the left edge of the screen.

The sidebar has:

  • Edit, Search and Create at the top.

  • Apps: the apps that are not in your tab bar. Tap the Apps heading to open the Apps page.

  • Pinned projects and Pinned dashboards.

  • Your profile at the bottom. Tap it to open Account.

To change the sidebar, tap Edit. Show or hide rows, and move them up or down. Then tap Done. The app keeps your sidebar for each workspace on this device.

The Apps page

The Apps page shows all the Hive apps that you can use in your workspace, for example Mail, Notes, Portfolio, CRM, Tables, Goals, Forms, Workflows, Timesheets and Buzz. The apps you see depend on the apps that your workspace uses and on your permissions.

To open the Apps page, open the sidebar and tap the Apps heading. Tap an app to open it.

Search and Create

  • Tap Search to find apps, actions, projects, people, messages and notes. Use the Actions, Projects, People, Messages and Notes filters to narrow the results.

  • Tap + at the top of Home, or Create in the sidebar, to create an action, project, note, message, email or opportunity. The items you see depend on your workspace and permissions.

Dashboards on your phone

Open a dashboard from Dashboards. Most widgets show in the app. A widget that needs a large screen shows Web only. Tap Open in Hive web to see it in your browser.

Account and settings

Tap your profile at the bottom of the sidebar to open Account:

  • Choose workspace: go to a different workspace. This shows when you are in more than one workspace.

  • Notifications: your notification settings.

  • Appearance: light, dark or system theme.

  • Buzz AI: turn on Floating Buzz to show a Buzz bubble over the app. Tap the bubble to talk to Buzz hands-free, and tap it again to stop. Touch and hold the bubble to see the conversation. Floating Buzz is off by default and applies only to this device.
