# Field reporter quickstart

> Join your organization, install the app, and find your first task

> [!NOTE]
>
> This section is written for **field reporters**: the people capturing evidence on the ground. Stewards: share these two pages with your reporters when you [deploy them](https://mirage.mintlify.site/organization/team-and-field-reporters.md).

## What you'll need

* A smartphone with a camera (any modern iPhone or Android)
* The **invite code** or link your organization gave you, a 6-character code like `PQXN8K`

## Get set up

**1. Open the reporter app**

Go to [report.mirage.partners](https://report.mirage.partners) in your phone's browser and sign up with your email or Google account.

**2. Join your organization**

On the **Join** screen, enter your invite code (or just open the link your organization sent; the code fills in automatically). You're in: the organization's tasks now appear on your dashboard.

Entering an invite code on the Join screen.

**3. Install the app on your home screen**

Mirage Reporter is a web app that installs like a native one:

* **iPhone**: in Safari, tap the share button, then **Add to Home Screen**.
* **Android**: tap **Install** when prompted, or use the browser menu → **Install app**.

**4. Set your languages (optional)**

In your **Profile**, set your primary language and any additional languages you speak. You can also enable **anonymous mode** if you prefer your name not to be shown to the organization's staff.

## Your dashboard

![Reporter dashboard with projects and map](https://mintcdn.com/mirage/eVR3n30GbOeZdkdj/images/reporter-dashboard.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=eVR3n30GbOeZdkdj\&q=85\&s=aa48f967fd9831d6cafec0f620578916)

The reporter dashboard: your projects, the active area map, and tasks due.

* **Active projects**: the initiatives you can report on, with photos and locations.
* **Map**: every task site, with directions one tap away.
* **Tasks due**: what needs doing, most urgent first. Each task shows its reward value and what evidence is needed, and its button reflects where you left off: **Start Task**, **Continue Report**, or **Submitted** once it's finalized.
* **Reports**: everything you've submitted and its status.
* **Impact**: your running totals: reports submitted, projects contributed to, regions covered.
