You can add more projects to your mobile app at any time.

 

If a project or company is not available

If the company you are searching for is not in the list, notify your contact at the company that is hosting the project on their Info Exchange website. Ask them to alert their Newforma Project Center administrator about the problem. Common causes of this issue:

        The incorrect version of Newforma is installed. The mobile apps work with Newforma Tenth edition and up.

        Ensure a license file for Newforma Eleventh edition that enables Newforma ID is installed. For more information, refer to the Configure Cloud Delivery on Info Exchange.
