Installing the Mobile Worklists App

Worklists

The Mobile Worklists app is available from the Apple^® App Store and from Google Play. Search for "iii mobile worklists" and follow the device's instructions to download and install the app.

If this is the first time you are signing in to the Mobile Worklists app, tap Site Code and enter your library's site code. The next time you sign in, Site Code does not appear on the Sign In screen. After signing in, you can clear the current site code on the Options screen and sign in again with a different site code.

Changing the Site Code

If you have signed in to the Mobile Worklists app before, you do not need to enter the site code on the Sign In screen. If you want to sign in again with a different site code, you can clear the site code, which automatically logs you out of the app. When you sign in again, you must enter the new site code. If you do not know your site code, check with your Sierra platform administrator.

To change the site code:

Open the Mobile Worklists app.
Tap Clear Site Code on the Sign In screen. An action sheet appears at the bottom of the screen where you can confirm or cancel the action.

If you chose Clear Site Code, you are automatically signed out of the app and the Sign In screen appears.
Sign in again using the new site code.
