Mobile application
The mobile application extends the capabilities of CMDBuild to smartphones and tablets, allowing users to access and manage platform data while working remotely or on site.
The application is available for Android and iOS devices and requires an active maintenance subscription.
It provides a streamlined interface optimized for mobile devices, enabling users to interact with the information and functionalities made available by the configured application.
The mobile application is designed to ensure continuity between desktop and mobile usage scenarios, providing access to relevant information whenever and wherever it is needed.

The application also provides features specific to mobile devices:
- Barcode and QR code scanning to open related cards and search for data
- Geolocation acquisition on supported field type
The available functions depend on the application configuration and on the permissions assigned to the authenticated user.
Initial application configuration
When the application is opened for the first time, users are required to provide the information needed to register the device.
This information can be entered manually or automatically populated by scanning a QR code generated through the related section in the Administration module.
Once the required information has been provided, the device is registered and the login form is displayed, allowing the user to access the application.
Offline application usage
The mobile application supports two operating modes: online (it is the default) and offline.
The offline mode does not allow the application to operate without any previously synchronized data. Instead, it enables users to work on data downloaded from the classes included in a dataset configured in the Administration module.
After the required changes have been made, users can switch back to online mode. During the synchronization process, a notification is displayed allowing users to open a popup and select which changes should be saved to the central database.
This feature is available only when the following plugin has been activated
