Set up Bausicht in Google Chrome: set the start page and sign in at the gate

Quick answer

Ideally, open Bausicht in Google Chrome and set Chrome as the default browser; Microsoft Edge also works, Firefox is not supported. Pin Chrome to the taskbar, bookmark app.bausicht.com and set it as the start page under Settings → On startup → Open a specific page or set of pages. Then sign in with the gate’s credentials.

Step 1: Choose the browser

Ideally, open Bausicht in Google Chrome and set Chrome as the default browser. Microsoft Edge also works. Firefox is not supported.

Step 2: Pin Chrome to the taskbar

Pin Chrome to the taskbar so that you always find it at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Bookmark Bausicht

Enter app.bausicht.com and click the star.

Step 4: Set Bausicht as the start page

So that Bausicht opens automatically when Chrome starts:

1. Click the three dots at the top right and then Settings.
2. Under On startup, choose Open a specific page or set of pages.
3. Enter app.bausicht.com and click Add.

From now on, Bausicht opens directly when you start the browser.

Step 5: Sign in with the gate’s credentials

Sign in with the gate’s credentials.

If the gate does not have credentials yet, contact a colleague or your company’s administrator on site:

1. They create an employee for the gate in Bausicht, for example “Zuko Baustelle Erlangen”.
2. In the profile under Invitations, they invite the gate’s email address.
3. Open the email Invitation to register, click Accept invitation and create your profile with a password.

Note down the credentials and keep them safe. This keeps the access available when staff change.
