TradesWallet Basics

Find out more about the features available through the TradesWallet Self Service mobile application.

Should a wallet holder have more than one TradesWallet, assigned by different organizations within the TradesWallet community, these can be combined such that the wallet holder can carry only one of the cards but have access to the information contained within each individual Wallet.

Wallet holders can simply present their TradesWallet cards to an on-site administrator, and request these be linked using the Field Scanner application.

What do you mean by 'Notifications'?
How will I be notified?
'Expiring' or 'Expired' Cards
'Training Requests'

What do you mean by 'Notifications'?

Notifications are used within TradesWallet to inform Wallet holders of changes to their TradesWallet profile. This can include notifications pertaining to expiring or expired 'Cards' or certifications within the Wallet as well as alerts to advise of any new or past due 'Training Requests' issued.

How will I be notified?

(1) Email Notifications

In order to receive email notifications will require that you have a valid email address associated to your Wallet profile.

For more information about how to add an email via the Self Service app, click here.

(2) Self Service App

TradesWallet utilizes 'Push Notifications' to enable alerts to your mobile device when you are not actively using the app.

When setting up your TradesWallet Self Service profile for the first time, you will be asked to allow TradesWallet to send 'Push Notifications' to your phone or mobile device.

Within the app, you will be presented with warning notifications on your Home Page directing you to your 'Cards' tab.

'Expiring' or 'Expired' Cards

TradesWallet tracks each Card within your Wallet and will notify you 60-days in advance of the indicated expiration date. This applies to both 'Public' and 'Private' cards. This allows you sufficient time to review potential classes prior to your existing credential becoming obsolete.

Via Email

If you have expiring or expired cards within your Wallet, you will receive an email containing the 'Title' of the credential and the date it is set to expire.

If your organization provides in-house training, has preferred or recommended training providers linked via TradesWallet, you may also be presented with upcoming 'Classes' for a course that, upon successful completion, would result in the recertification of your credentials.

Select the relevant links to be directed to the 'Course' registration page.

Via the Self Service App

TradesWallet will notify you of any issues relating to the contents of your TradesWallet directly from your Wallets Home Page.

If you have both expiring or expired Cards and upcoming 'Training' due, you will be directed to the 'Cards' tab of your Wallet profile.

Within the 'Cards' tab of your Self Service profile, any Card(s) that are within (2) months of their indicated expiration date will be highlighted with an orange indicator:

Once a Card within a Wallet is no longer valid, it will be highlighted with a red indicator.

NOTE: Expired cards will remain visible within your Self Service profile for a period of (2) months - or until such time as they are renewed or manually removed.

It is important to note, however, that expired cards will NOT be visible when your Wallet is scanned by a potential employer on a job-site.

For more information on how to renew your Card directly from the Self Service app, click here.

Review assigned 'Training Request(s)'

If your organization requires you to complete mandatory training in advance of any potential employment opportunities, they may assign your 'Training' directly to your TradesWallet profile.

Via Email

You will receive an email with the subject line: 'training' containing the details requested by your Wallet provider. You should note that a relevant 'Course' title has been provided, as well as the date that the training is expected to be completed by.

If special instructions were included by your administrator, they will be presented here:

If the 'Training' requested is associated to a 'Course' that provides 'Online' classes, you will be directed to view the details by selecting the 'link' provided.

Alternatively, if the 'Course' is associated to 'Physical' classes, you will be presented with a listing of upcoming classes to choose from:

Via the Self Service app

If you have the Self Service app downloaded to your phone or mobile device, you will receive a 'Push Notification' to advise you when a new 'Training Request' has been issued to your Wallet profile.

Within the Self Service app, you will be presented with a (yellow) notification identifying that 'Training' has been requested.

Select the 'Cards' tab to review your Wallet contents then select the option for 'Training'.

What is a Profile Picture?
How is a Profile Picture Set?
Set Profile Picture from the Self Service app

What is a Profile Picture?

A TradesWallet's profile image is one of the most important means of authentication within TradesWallet, used to confirm that the Wallet presented belongs to the Tradesperson in question.

How is a Profile Picture set?

A 'Profile Picture' can be established within TradesWallet one of two ways:

Via the Self Service application
Via the Web Admin Portal

For more information on how you can request your profile picture be set, or reset by an administrator from within the Web Admin Portal, click here.

Set Profile Picture via the Self Service app

Initial Profile Submission - Get Started!

Upon launching the TradesWallet Self Service application for the first time, you will be prompted with the following 'Welcome' screen:

Simply select the (blue) 'Get Started' button to complete the setup of your TradesWallet Self Service profile.

For more information on the 'Get Started' process, click here.

Profile Picture Update - New Submission

Once your initial 'Profile Picture' has been established, you can update your Profile Picture at any time by making a new submission:

Select 'Submissions' from the main menu:
From the 'Submissions' page, select the (blue) 'New Submission' button:
Select the option for a 'New Profile Picture':

NOTE: You cannot upload a new profile picture if the existing profile image is still marked as 'Pending'; the 'New Profile Picture' option will be disabled.
Select the 'Add Image' button and proceed to take a picture for your Wallet.

Once taken, you will be asked to either 'Accept' the image, or if the image is not clear, you can simply select the 'Retake' button.
Select the blue 'Submit for Review' button to initiate the submission of your new image for review by your Admin.

NOTE: Until it is approved, this image will appear within your Wallet with a 'Pending' banner.

How is my TradesWallet authenticated?

Any submission (profile picture or new 'public' card) made by a Wallet holder via the TradesWallet Self Service app, OR, added by an administrator via the Web Admin Portal directly, will NOT automatically be added to the relevant Wallet.

Instead, these submissions are first vetted by an administrator, assigned by the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet, in order to verify the origin and authenticity of the submission. Only once approve will the submission be visible within the Self Service profile.

Your Self Service Profile

In order to use the TradesWallet Self Service app, a Wallet holder is required to create a Self Service profile. When launching the application for the first time, the application will display a 'Get Started!' page:

This step is mandatory for Wallet holders. A Profile Picture associated to a TradesWallet helps to ensure that the TradesWallet presented belongs to the relevant Wallet holder.

Why do I take a picture of my Photo ID?

The ID submitted is used by an administrator, assigned by the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet, to verify the identity against a piece of ID that only the Wallet holder would have (i.e. a Driver's License).

Once verified, the ID will be removed from the system.

NOTE: The 'type' of ID required is at the discretion of the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet. Contact the organization that issued the TradesWallet for more information on what forms of ID are acceptable for submission.

For more information on creating a Self Service Profile, click here.

New Card Submissions

When uploading images to a Self Service app, a Wallet holder is in complete control of how much information is shared with the TradesWallet Community:

PUBLIC CARDS: The Cards images are submitted for review by an administrator from your Union or organization. Only upon approval will the relevant entry be added to the Wallet.
PRIVATE CARDS: Private Card submissions will be immediately added to the Wallet. Private Cards are never presented to or reviewed by anyone other than the Wallet holder.

Rejected Submissions:

If the image of the Card submitted is insufficient, or does not meet the requirements outlined by the Union or organization who owns the Wallet, it may be 'Rejected'. Rejected submissions will contain a comment or description relevant to why the submission was not approved to assist with the re-upload of a new submission.

Yes! The security and privacy of your information is of the utmost importance to us. Your TradesWallet has been secured with industry best-practices for data encryption.

Verified Email Address

Having a 'Verified' Email address associated to your TradesWallet profile provides you with additional security when 'Signing In' to the Self Service application.

With a 'Verified' Email Address established, you will be prompted to confirm your identity via Email during the 'Sign In' process. This verification will ensure that you, and only you, are able to view the contents of your TradesWallet from the Self Service app.

To learn more about 'Verified Email Address', click here.

Quick Response (QR) Codes

Short for Quick Response Code, a QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by an imaging device - such as a Smartphone camera.

TradesWallet creates and assigns a unique QR Code to each new TradesWallet.

The "Key" to accessing information in the field

QR Codes are a secure way to share information while out in the field. QR codes are unique and cannot be replicated outside of TradesWallet.

Tradespeople can either present their QR Codes via their physical TradesWallet Card (issued by your Union or organization), or directly from their Self Service profile. A Field Admin on a job site can utilize the Field Scanner application to scan and view your credentials while out in the field.

What is TradesWallet?

TradesWallet is an online certification management system designed to manage the various credentials an organization needs to verify their workforce is trained and qualified.

How does TradesWallet work?

Think of TradesWallet as a secure online repository filled with your organizations membership information. Within this repository, the credentials for their entire workforce is catalogued into individual 'Wallets', unique to each member or employee.

Each 'virtual Wallet' contains the cards and certifications the member or employee has earned and would be required to present to potential employers.

Self Service App

As a 'Wallet holder', you can upload and manage your various certification and safety credentials in the cloud - where they can be accessed - and shared - from anywhere, at any time, via our mobile 'Self Service' app.

NOTE: The 'Self Service' app is FREE to download and works on both iOS and Android devices.

Using the mobile 'Self Service' app, a Wallet holder can:

Present their personal 'QR Code' to be scanned;
Review the current 'Card(s)' within their Wallet;
Submit new 'Card(s)' for review;
Receive notification(s) when a 'Card' within their Wallet is approaching expiry;
Receive notification(s) when a 'Training Request' has been issued for a potential employment opportunity;
Sign Up/Register for 'Courses' that are on offer, or recommended by your organization

Web Admin Portal (Office Admins)

Unions and organizations can utilize the functionality of the TradesWallet Web Admin Portal to ensure their workforce is trained and qualified for the jobs their employees are being dispatched to.

Search for Wallets
Create NEW Wallets (Enterprise only)
View Card details
Pre-Qualify Employees for dispatch to a job site
Manage Skills Evaluations

Field Scanner Application (Worksite Admins)

The best way to review a Wallet holders various safety credentials and certifications from within a TradesWallet, while out in the field, is with the TradesWallet 'Field Scanner' app.

Also FREE to download, this app has been designed specifically to provide admins a means with which to view the contents of a relevant TradesWallet while out in the field.

Once signed in to the 'Field Scanner' app, admins will be able to complete the following actions:

Review the current 'Card(s)' within the Wallet;
View and/or provide "verification of authenticity" for the 'Card(s)';
Review, or add a new 'Skill Evaluation';
Link multiple TradesWallets.

For more information on the Field Scanner Application, click HERE.

What types of credentials does TradesWallet track?

TradesWallet has been designed to store, track and manage any and all types of credentials, from safety cards to trades certificates.

The Issue: Microsoft Safe Links
The Fix: Turn 'Advance Security' off temporarily

The Issue: Microsoft Safe Links

Currently, Wallet holders using Microsoft Outlook as their default email client may experience issues when attempting to 'Sign In' to the Self Service app using their 'verified' credentials.

This is as a result of Microsoft Office flagging emails from TradesWallet as 'potential phishing attacks'.

When a Wallet holder selects the 'Sign In' link found within the 'TradesWallet - Automatic Sign In' email, they won't be automatically 'Signed In' to the app. Instead, the Wallet holder will be re-directed to a window indicating "Something went wrong".

The Fix: Turn 'Advanced Security' Off temporarily

While this is a known issue that we hope Microsoft will address, the following is a workaround should a Wallet holder find themselves stuck in this state:

Navigate to your Outlook client and select the 'Settings' option (Gear icon)
Select the 'View all Outlook settings' link
Select 'Premium' from the toolbar
Next, you will want to temporarily turn off your 'Advanced Security' settings by selecting the toggle switch such that it turns grey and reads 'Off'.
With the 'Advanced Security' settings disabled ('OFF'), you can go ahead and launch you TradesWallet Self Service app again.

Scan your 'QR Code', which will result in a NEW 'verification' link to be sent via email. Once you have received the new 'TradesWallet - Automatic Sign In', you can restore the 'Advanced Security' settings within your Email client.

For more information about 'Signing In' to the Self Service app using your 'verified' credentials, click HERE.
To restore the 'Advanced Security' settings, simply return to the 'Settings' section and select the toggle switch such that it turns (blue) and reads 'ON'.

The Fix

The Issue: iOS 13.1 / 13.2

Currently, Wallet holders using an iPhone on iOS 13.1 or 13.2 (13.2 is the latest available) to download the TradesWallet Self Service mobile app may encounter issues when attempting to 'Sign In' using the 'Automatic Sign In' link OR when signing in using their 'Verified' email address.

NOTE: This is a known issue with iOS 13.1 and 13.2 (hopefully Apple fixes this).

Upon scanning their unique 'QR Code', a Wallet holder will be presented with the following notification, advising to complete the verification process via their Email client.
Within their Email Client, the Wallet holder should have received the following email from TradesWallet:

Upon selecting the relevant 'link', the Wallet holder will *not* be automatically signed into the app, but will instead be directed to a Safari window indicating "Something went wrong".

The Fix: Re-Install the app

While this is a known issue that we hope Apple will address, the following is a workaround should a Wallet holder find themselves stuck in this state.

Fully DELETE the TradesWallet Self Service app from the device.
Power OFF the device.
Power the device back ON, then download the TradesWallet Self Service app again.
Request a new 'Sign In' link (scan your personalized 'QR Code' again).

For more information about how to get started using your TradesWallet profile, click HERE.

This document covers the following topics:

Get Started
Why Take a Picture of your Photo ID
Will this change your profile picture immediately?

A profile picture is one of the most important means of authentication within TradesWallet, used to confirm that the Wallet presented belongs to the Tradesperson in question.

The steps required to complete a Profile Submission are listed below. You can also watch a short tutorial video on the 'Self Service' App here.

Get Started!

When SIGNING IN to the Self Service app for the FIRST time, a Wallet holder will be immediately prompted to upload a current 'Profile Image' to their Wallet profile.

NOTE: This step is mandatory and must be completed in order to access the rest of the application's options.

Upon 'Signing In' to the Self Service app, the Wallet holder will be presented with the following 'Welcome!' page.

Select the (blue) 'Get Started' button to initiate the process of creating a Self Service profile:
As a means of authenticating the TradesWallet, the initial profile submission from within the Self-Service application will require the Wallet holder to upload a photo of a valid piece of 'Government ID' (i.e. your Driver's License).

NOTE: The type of ID required is determined by the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet.

Why Take a picture of your photo ID?

The ID is used by an administrator, assigned by the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet, to verify the profile picture against a piece of ID that only the Wallet holder would have.

Once verified, the ID will be removed from the system.
Select the 'Add Image' button to launch the camera.

Holding the phone in 'Landscape Mode' (horizontally), use the camera to take a photo of the Government ID:

NOTE: Use the image overlay to line up the card within the viewer.
If the image is good, select the 'Accept' button OR select 'Retake' to launch the camera and take a new picture.

Alternatively, should a Wallet holder wish to redact (or mask) a portion of their Government issued ID for privacy, select the 'Mask Photo' option.

NOTE: The Government ID is used by an administrator, assigned by the Union or organization that owns the Wallet to confirm identity. As such, leave the 'Full Name' and image clear of any markings.

For more information about 'Masking' an image, click here.
Once the photo has been 'Accepted', select the 'Next Step' button:
Select the 'Add Image' button again to launch your camera. Use the camera to take a picture of to be used for your profile.

NOTE: This is the image that will be presented to potential employers. As such, ensure the image is clear and that you are the only identifiable person in the frame.

Will this change your profile picture immediately?

Yes, however, your profile picture will be marked as 'Pending' until your submission has been reviewed and approved by an administrator assigned by your Union or organization:
If you are happy with the image, select the 'Accept' button. Alternatively, select the 'Retake' button to activate the camera again.

NOTE: You cannot 'Mask' any portion of your Profile Picture. For more information about 'Masking' a Card within the Self Service app, click here.
Once you are happy with your Profile Picture, select the (blue) 'Submit for Review' button.

This will send your uploaded images to your TradesWallet admin to review, during which time the profile image will appear within the Self Service app with a 'Pending' banner, indicating it is currently under review.

NOTE: You will not be able to submit a new profile picture while your current picture is awaiting approval.

Verify Email Address

Once you've hit the 'Submit for Review' button, you'll be directed to the 'Email Address' page.

This FAQ covers the following topics:

Profile Picture
Public Cards
Acceptance

The contents of a TradesWallet are 'authenticated' by an administrator, assigned by the organization who owns and/or manages a TradesWallet, in the following ways:

Profile Picture is verified with Government ID

A 'Profile Picture' is one of the most important means of authentication within TradesWallet, used to confirm that the TradesWallet being presented belongs to the Wallet holder in question.

A Wallet holder can create a profile picture directly from within the 'Self Service' app, as described below, OR by visiting their TradesWallet provider in person.

Via the Self Service app

When accessing the 'Self Service' app for the first time, a Wallet holder will first be required to create a 'Profile Picture' for their Wallet.

This i**nitial profile submission will also require the Wallet holder to submit a picture of a valid piece of photo ID. This ID will be used by an administrator, assigned by the organization who owns the Wallet, to compare against the profile picture submitted in order to validate the Wallet profile.

NOTE: The type of ID required is at the discretion of the Union or organization who owns the TradesWallet. Once confirmed, the ID is purged from the TradesWallet system.

For more information about 'Profile Pictures' and how they are validated by an administrator, click HERE.

Public Cards

When a Wallet holder earns a new 'Card' or certification, photos of the physical credential earned can be uploaded via the 'Self Service' app for inclusion within a TradesWallet profile.

Prior to a 'Public Card' being made available within a relevant Wallet, an administrator, assigned by the Union or organization that owns the TradesWallet, must first review the image(s) and approve their origin and authenticity. Until approved, the card(s) will not be available within the Wallet.

Wallet holders can review the status of their Card submissions via the 'Submissions' tab of their Self Service app.

For more information about authenticating credentials within a Wallet, click HERE.

Acceptance

Once a 'Public Card' or certification has been approved within a Wallet, the entry will be automatically be associated with an 'Acceptance' record attributed to the owning organization.

Each time the 'Card' or certification is viewed by an organization within the TradesWallet Community, an 'Acceptance' entry will be automatically associated, indicating that the organization has reviewed the credential and accepted it as 'valid'.

Why does TradesWallet use 'QR Codes'?
How to use 'QR Code(s)' to access mobile apps

What is a QR Code?

Short for 'Quick Response Code', a QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by an imaging device such as a Smartphone camera.

Why does TradesWallet use 'QR Codes'?

In an era where almost everyone has access to a mobile device, the use of 'QR Codes' eliminates the need for Wallet holders to remember yet another 'Username/Password'.

Instead, a quick scan of a 'QR Code' will enable a Wallet holder to access their personal TradesWallet profile via the mobile 'Self Service' app.

How to use 'QR Code(s)' to access mobile apps

Self Service App

Wallet holders will scan their personalized 'QR Code' to 'Sign In' to the mobile 'Self Service' application in order to manage the contents of their TradesWallet.

For more information on the Self Service app, click HERE.

Field Scanner App

'QR Code(s)' are assigned to each Wallet created, but also to each administrator account. A Worksite administrator can use their own 'QR Code', in lieu of their username and password, in order to 'Sign In' to the mobile 'Field Scanner' app.

TradesWallet has the capacity to integrate with most systems, enabling your organization to streamline operations and eliminate the need for multiple touch points.

How does TradesWallet work?

Think of TradesWallet as a secure online repository filled with an organizations membership information. Within this repository, the credentials for an entire workforce is catalogued into individual 'Wallets', unique to each member or employee.

Each 'virtual Wallet' contains the cards and certifications a member or employee has earned and would be required to present to potential employers.

The TradesWallet System

TradesWallet is comprised of a robust Web Admin Portal, used by office admins to manage the day-to-day operations within TradesWallet.

TradesWallet also includes two companion mobile apps - one designed with the Wallet holder in mind, the other intended as a means of viewing the credentials within a TradesWallet while out in the field.

Web Admin Portal (Office Admins)

Unions and organizations can utilize the functionality of the TradesWallet Web Admin Portal to ensure their workforce is trained and qualified for the jobs their employees are being dispatched to.

The portal (www.tradeswallet.com) is designated for use by office administrators, responsible for managing the day to day operations of TradesWallet for their organization. Within the Web Admin Portal, an admin can:

Search for Wallets
Create NEW Wallets (Enterprise only)
View Card details
Pre-Qualify Employees for dispatch to a job site
Manage Skills Evaluations

For more information on the TradesWallet Web Application and its functionality, click HERE.

Self Service App (Wallet Holders)

Your Wallet holders can utilize the mobile 'Self Service' application to ensure their credentials are current and complete. The 'Self Service' app is FREE to download to and works on both iOS and Android devices.

Using the app, directly from their Smartphone, a member/employee can:

Present their personal 'QR Code' to be scanned;
Review the current 'Card(s)' within their Wallet;
Submit new 'Card(s)' for review;
Receive notification(s) when a 'Card' within their Wallet is approaching expiry;
Sign Up/Register for 'Courses' on offer by your organization.
