Mobile Apps Setup

Before your district begins using mobile apps, it is recommended that you set up the following:

• Register your PowerSchool server with PowerSource
• Upload a School Map (optional)

Register your PowerSchool Server with PowerSource

Registering your PowerSchool server with PowerSource enables end-users to easily configure the mobile app to work with your PowerSchool server.

Enter the information needed for registering your PowerSchool server with PowerSource.

1. On the start page, choose District under Setup in the main menu.
2. Under Plugins, click Mobile Registration. 

3. Use the following table to enter information in the PowerSource Registration of District's Mobile App Services fields:

   Field	Description
   Mobile District Code	Displays a four-digit code if the PowerSchool server is registered with the PowerSource mobile registration server. If the PowerSchool server has not been registered, dashes appear.
   Mobile App Server Address	Enter the server or IP address remote web traffic will use for the mobile web services. This can be an individual IP, domain, or load-balancer address. Note: Typically this is the IP address of the PowerSchool node.
   Mobile App Port Number	Enter the port number remote web traffic will use for the mobile web services. Note: Typically this is the IP address of the PowerSchool node.
   Mobile App SSL Enabled	If your Tomcat server or Load Balancer is using SSL, select the checkbox. Otherwise, leave the checkbox blank. Note: This option does not enable or disable SSL, it only informs the PowerSource Registration that your servers are using SSL.
   District Postal Code	Enter the district's postal code. This is used when teachers search for your district via zip or geo-location.
