Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

The Right Decision Service content management system (CMS) comprises:

A left hand panel containing the content navigation menu. This shows a content hierarchy which you can use to navigate across different content sections within your toolkits. Find out more in the Navigation panel section of this site.

Four tabs in the main navigation menu - the black bar across the top of the screen. Within this menu:

Content takes you back to the content navigation panel
The Media tab is where you organise and store images and select them to embed within content pages.
Forms is rarely used and can be ignored. It relates to forms created in the Umbraco system, whereas we generally use Microsoft Forms or other software to embed forms in the RDS.
Admin is the area where you publish your toolkit content to the mobile app. This tab will only be available if you have been assigned app publisher rights.
