Software Releases & Updates



From time to time as we make enhancements to the Mobile Suite updates are necessary as there is code and data running locally on your Mobile device which must be updated.

Two types of “Updates” exist that you should be aware of:

  1. Normal Update
  2. Mandatory Update.

Normal Update



  1. 1.When there is a new update available, you will get prompted after you login.
  2. The normal update gives you a choice of updating now or updating within the next 8 days.
  3. After the 8th day, the update will behave as a “mandatory” update, and the update will immediately commence upon login.
  4. Updates will delete the software, the company and associated tables.
  5. As a consequence, the company must be re-added.
  6. Data must be downloaded once the company has been added.

Mandatory Update



  1. Mandatory updates are extremely rare.
  2. A mandatory update will have no grace period. It will update upon login. This is the only difference from the Normal update process.
  3. The software, company and its tables will be deleted.
  4. The company must be re-added.   Have you company code handy.
  5. Data must be downloaded once the company has been added.

Instructions on how to add a company are next.
