-====== IMPORTANT ======
-==== Do NOT Install FIRE Spark on Multiple Profiles ====
-  - Google Chrome can used on multiple Chrome Profiles, however it is STRONGLY recommended Spark be setup on **only one Chrome profile**, per device.
-  - If Spark (spark.fieldinvoice.com) is accessed and setup on subsequent Google profile(s), a new local instance of Spark will be created with it’s own local database and local tickets.  This will result in an entirely different set of Sequential IDs, and likely confusion, mix-up / loss of tickets.
-This can technically be done but should be avoided unless there is a specific user requirement; for example different trucks, field supervisors using the same device but requiring separate Spark applications AND a SEPARATE SET OF their own Local Tickets.  See “Exporting Tickets from one Spark Application to Another”.

-==== If Multiple gmail accounts need to be accessed on a single device ====
-If the Spark User or Unit/Truck communicates through GMAIL, then access/install Spark under the same Google profile setup to sign into or access the User’s or Truck/Unit’s gmail account.
-If a separate (e.g. personal) gmail account needs to be accessed on the Spark device, then use a separate Chrome Google profile to sign into that gmail account.
