How to Sign In

After downloading and installing Laserfiche Mobile from the Windows Store, , open it.

On the Laserfiche Mobile start page, press

Sign In
  1. If you are outside of your organization's local network, sign in to your organization's VPN.
  2. Open the Laserfiche Mobile app.
  3. Press the Sign in button.

    Start Page

  4. On the Sign-In page:

    • Enter your Laserfiche Mobile Server URL in the Server URL box (e.g., https://LaserficheMobileServer/mobile). If you have signed in before, you can use the drop-down menu to select a server you previously connected to. If the defined server has been configured to use SSL, https:// will be appended to the front of the URL. If it has not configured to use SSL, http:// will be appended.

      Sign-In Page

    • Note: Check with your administrator to see if you need to enter the URL as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as mycomputer.laserfiche.com. Learn more.

      Tip: If https://LaserficheMobileServer/mobile returns the error: "The server could not be found," try using your Laserfiche Mobile Server's IP address in the URL instead: https://IPAddress/mobile.

    • The repositories available on that server will be populated in a list below the Server URL. Use the drop-down arrow and select the repository you want to connect to. If you are only using Forms, select None for the repository.

      Choose a repository

    • If the Laserfiche Mobile Server entered has one or more Laserfiche Forms servers configured, another drop-down menu will appear under the repository drop-down menu. Select the Forms server you want to connect to from this list. If only one Forms server is configured, that one will be displayed.

      Sign-In PageChoose a Forms Server

    • Note: If your administrator has not configured a Laserfiche Forms server on the Laserfiche Mobile Configuration page, you will not see the Laserfiche Forms Server option and will not be able to interact with forms.

    • Enter your user name and password. If your organization only uses Windows Authentication, sign in by manually entering your Windows user name and password. Your user name should also include the domain, e.g., DOMAIN\user name.
    • Note: Your administrator can configure a default domain name on the Laserfiche Mobile Configuration page so you do not have to type one in.

    • Press Sign in.
  5. Note: If you are using Laserfiche Mobile to submit and review forms only, you do not have to select a repository. Use the repository drop down menu and select None. Once signed in, you will only see forms. If you do not have a repository configured, the repository drop-down will not be displayed after entering the Server URL.

Once signed in, you will have access to a "sandbox" repository where you can add entries, edit fields (sample templates and fields are included in the trial), and more. However, other people cannot add to or see this repository. Additionally, the entries in this repository are not secure and can be accessed by Laserfiche staff.
