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.
-
Navigate to the Mobile Registration Postal Code page.
-
Use the following table to enter information in the PowerSource Registration of District's Mobile App Services fields:
|
Field |
Description |

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 that remote web traffic will use for the mobile web services. This can be an individual IP, a domain, or a load-balancer address. Typically, this is the IP address of the PowerSchool node. |

Upload a School Map
You can upload a map of your campus that is visible to students using the PowerSchool Mobile. For best results, use a PDF with text for room numbers and names. This allows students and parents to search for a room number.
The maximum file size for uploaded map images is 1 MB.
Upload a school map in PDF, JPEG, GIF, or PNG format. See the upload page for detailed information on recommended specifications.
