What HQ mobile is

HQ on your phone is a real working surface, not a shrunken website. It reads the same network data as the web product, the same overnight rollups, the same signals, the same rankings, laid out for a phone screen and the way you actually use one: a fast scan between meetings, a check from the road, a run you start in a cab and read in a lobby. The home page is the network view, and this article walks it top to bottom, then covers the chrome around it, the tab bar, the Sections sheet, and the top bar, that carries you to every other HQ section on the phone.

The hero row: the network at a glance

The page opens with a horizontally scrolling row of hero tiles titled Network, the five numbers that summarize the whole operation:

  • Composite, your network health score on a 0 to 100 scale, with the date of the snapshot it was computed from, or "Warming up" before the first one exists.
  • Net Margin P50, the network's median net margin across active offices. When the expense data to compute net margin is not on file yet, the tile honestly relabels itself Gross Margin P50 rather than passing one off as the other, and when fewer offices report margin than are on the roster, the support line says so: "Median of N reporting."
  • Active, how many members are contributing data out of the total roster, with the share of the network that represents.
  • Compliance, the network's standards adherence rate.
  • Jobs 30d, jobs across the network in the trailing 30 days.

The Apps row

Directly under the hero sits Apps, the row that made HQ mobile more than a read-only mirror. It carries your network's analyst apps as album-cover tiles, filtered to your kind of network: Network Review and Program Negotiation for everyone, Franchisee Health for associations, Recruitment Story for franchise networks. Tapping a tile opens the app full screen; runs start, finish, and save right on the phone. The full treatment is in HQ apps on mobile.

The flat sections beneath

Below the Apps row, the rest of the home is flat, scannable lists with hairline separators, each honest about what it needs before it will show anything:

  • Needs attention, offices in the bottom quartile by operator score, each row carrying the office, its leading reason, and the score. Before per-office scores exist it explains itself: "Per-office scores are still warming up. Rankings appear once the weekly snapshot has two data points to compare."
  • Top performers, the top quartile by the same score, shown only once real rankings exist.
  • Movers, week-over-week margin posture: risers and fallers with the driver behind each move. It needs two snapshots to compare, and says so until it has them.
  • Signals, open network alerts, most urgent first, each with its domain and how much of the network it touches. When the network is quiet, it says exactly that: "No open signals. The network is quiet."

Nothing in these sections is padded. An empty list on a young network is the page telling you where the data stands, not a broken screen.

The tab bar and the Sections sheet

A floating glass pill at the bottom of the screen holds the phone's primary navigation: Network (this home), Decisions, Actions, and a Sections button. Decisions is where you act, park, or ignore what the network engine has raised; Actions holds the plans in flight.

Sections opens the sheet titled HQ Sections: the full catalog of HQ surfaces on the phone, grouped the way the web sidebar groups them, each row with a one-line hint and, where relevant, a badge counting that section's open signals. The sheet is filtered to your network type, so an association sees its Member Directory, Dues & Renewal, and education surfaces while a franchise network sees Recruit & Grow, Discovery Day, and Item 19. Every row in the sheet is a real page; nothing listed is a placeholder.

Seven of those sections have their own phone articles: Signals, Materials, Equipment, Certifications, Dues, Events, and Education.

The top bar

The top of the screen names where you are, with your network's name as a small kicker above the page title. If you are both an HQ leader and an operator with your own IQ account, a Switch to IQ control sits on the right, one tap between your network hat and your operator hat. The whole surface carries your network's brand color when one is set, and HQ's steel blue otherwise.

Tip

The phone home rewards a rhythm: scan the hero row for the composite and margin, glance at Needs attention and Movers for who changed, check Signals for anything network-wide, and start an app run if a meeting is coming. Two minutes, and you have read the network.
