If you need to work with multiple app projects, consider using the app folder setting of Resco Mobile CRM.

About folders

Resco Mobile CRM saves all metadata and data of an app project to a local folder on your device. You can use the parameter App Folder to specify the folder. This allows you to have multiple customizations (app projects) installed on a single device in parallel; in different folders. You can then simply modify the App Folder to quickly change to a different organization/user/project, without lengthy full sync.

Resco mobile apps always use a published project of the highest priority suitable for their security role; and AppFolder does not modify this behavior. You need to use a different user (or a different organization) to connect to other projects.

The App Folder parameter is available in the Advanced tab of Resco Mobile CRM's Setup.

Add a project

  1. Set AppFolder to a unique value, for example, TestProject.
    Do not use spaces or characters that cannot be used in folder names. Excluded characters depend on your device OS.
  2. Confirm the app folder name:
    • On Windows computers, press Enter on the keyboard.
    • On Android device, tap the magnifying glass icon on the on-screen keyboard.
    • On iOS, tap return on the on-screen keyboard.
  3. Save the configuration and restart the app.
  4. Connect to the project; it will be saved to the folder specified.

Switch to a different project

  1. Change AppFolder to a value that you previously used for a project.
  2. Save the configuration and restart the app.

Conclusion

The AppFolder parameter is available on all platforms. For Windows apps, you can alternatively use the command line option -r to achieve similar effect.
