3. At the Company Access Code field, enter a 5-15 character code that employees will use to install the mobile app. This company
access code will be unique to your organization. The company access code:
Is created by your organization. The company access code is not provided to you by Ultimate Software.
Cannot be changed once it is saved. If your company has a test environment, you can enable the mobile app for that
environment, but remember to not use the company access code you want to use in production because the code is unique and
cannot be changed. For example, if you want the “Acme” company access code for your production environment, then use
“AcmeTest” for the test environment.
Does not need to be a combination of letters and/or numbers.
Is not case-sensitive.
Should be an easy word for your employees to remember. For example, your company name.
4. At the Show Installation Instructions field, move the slider button to ON to display UltiPro Mobile app installation instructions on
the UltiPro home page. If enabled, all users will see the Company Access Code and link to installation instructions on the UltiPro
home page.
Important
While you are testing your mobile app access rights configuration, at the Show Installation Instructions field, move the slider button to OFF to
ensure that all employees do not view installation instructions and attempt to download the mobile app during testing.
5. Select Save.
Navigation: Menu > System Configuration > Platform Configuration > Labels
1. From the Labels page, at the Search field, enter the search term: username.
3. At the Actions column, select the Edit link that corresponds with the MobileInstructionsStep3Text Alias. The Edit Label pop-up
page displays.
4. Enter the instructions in the fields (up to 1000 characters), as desired.
5. Select Save. The updated instructions display on the Mobile App Instructions page that employees can access from the Mobile App
gadget that displays on the UltiPro home page.
Initially, all the UltiPro areas/elements are collapsed and the associated access rights are disabled. Access rights can be assigned to an
entire area (and inherited by all elements within the area) or assigned individually to selected elements within an area. When selected
elements in an UltiPro area have different access rights than others in the same area, the corresponding rights for the high-level area are
shown to be partially enabled.
The available access rights include Add, View, Edit, Delete, and Execute. Assigned access rights for the elements are indicated with icons
on the Mobile Access Rights page:
Green check marks indicate rights that are enabled.
Unchecked boxes indicate rights that are disabled.
Checkboxes with yellow tick marks indicate rights that are partially enabled.
Important
Mobile App Access Rights work differently than Web Access Rights in that they are aggregated.
Access to the mobile app: If a user has multiple roles assigned to them and one role has access to the mobile app and another does not, the
user will have access to the mobile app.
For example, if access to the mobile app is only available for a user’s Manager role and not for the Employee role, then managers who
have both roles assigned will have access to the mobile app.
Access within the mobile app: If a user has multiple roles and one role has limited access to features in the mobile app while the other has full
access to the mobile app, the user will have full access to the mobile app.
For example, if a user is assigned to both the employee and manager roles and View access right is enabled for Pay for the employee role
and disabled for the manager role, the user will still be able to view Pay. If the user is only assigned to the manager role, that user would
not be able to view Pay in the mobile app
