Search for ‘mobilid dolibarr’ in the Google Play application store on your device or click here. After installation you should find the Mobilid Icon on your device home screen or in the downloaded applications list. Tap the Icon to launch the application.


Application configuration

Connector setup

On first installation the application will show the setup screen by default, you can always change these settings. To be able to connect to the Dolibarr system server, you will need to set the server type, server url and a name to identify yourself.
The default URL will the demo server URL, you can change to your own URL before connecting to demo. IMPORTANT, if you are already connected the demo server, do not change the Demo url, but first remove the Demo connection by tapping the 'trash' button.
The connector type allows you to choose how you installed the connector, standard custom or the unzip in dolibarr root installation. You also have a normal or slow version, the slow version has extended connection timeout (for example slow 3G connection or some slow background sync process on object updates, like sending email to customer). The slow mode also limits the pre-loaded object lists to 25 items.
The identification name is not your personal user account Dolibarr, instead you need to enter a name (for example your first name) to identify yourself to the server. The server administrator needs to assign a system user account to your identification. Only after this assignment you can access the server data. See Dolibarr connector documentation for instructions. You also need to provide this name when requesting your license key.
You can share your device with multiple users or connect to multiple servers. Each user-server combination has its own application settings. When you change your system user-display language or if the connector is upgraded to a newer version, you will need to synchronize the display language. Connector Setup


Assignment Confirmation On first connect, the server administrator has to assign a system user to your connection request. Tap ‘yes’ when assignment is done, if successful you will get a message with the assigned system user and will go to the Main application screen.
