Mobile dashboards
You and other users can get valuable insights using dashboards specific to roles. Mobile users can access the same dashboard as desktop users or an admin can assign a different dashboard for mobile users.
Admins can create role-based dashboards for mobile users by assigning specific workflows to the role. When users open the app, the default dashboard assigned to the role opens.
Mobile dashboards vs desktop dashboards - what's the difference?
The key difference is the layout of the information. Mobile dashboards provide the same information as a desktop dashboard but in widget format. In the mobile dashboard, widgets are stacked in one column for easy viewing. The layout is one vertical column with widgets stacked in order from top-left down.
Need specific functionality for mobile users?
Assign a different dashboard for mobile users and another for desktop users. This is a good idea if mobile users use a subset of features in the field. For example, if mobile users need to create or update service orders in the field you can include those features on the mobile dashboard.

Signing in and out of the mobile app
When you sign in to the mobile app, you can choose to enable the biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) on your device.
Signing in using SAML authentication
If your company uses corporate authentication (SAML), use your corporate credentials to sign into the mobile app. The first time you open the app, you're asked if you have a corporate username and password.
If you tap Yes, you're redirected to your corporate sign-in page. After you sign in, the mobile app opens. The app redirects to your corporate sign-in page whenever you open the app.
If your company's sign-in page is unavailable outside of the corporate network you need to register your mobile device on that network. Otherwise, you can't access the sign-in page.
