You are able to view the current installed version, setup instructions and a link to the Setup and Use document, and look at what is new in the current version of the app.
Access Using Touch ID for iPhone
Once you have logged in to Strata Mobile, where there has been no activity in app and you need to log back in you are able to unlock the app with Touch ID if you have previously set up this feature on your device.
The password is not retained in Strata Mobile so once the app is closed you will need to use your Strata Master password to log back in.
Frequently asked questions
An employee has left my agency, how do I stop their access to our agency’s contacts with Strata Mobile?
All Strata Master users in your database can have access to STRATA Mobile using their STRATA Master password. Changing their password will ensure that they no longer have access to STRATA Master contacts through STRATA mobile.
I receive this error when I attempt to login to my Strata Master Database in Strata Mobile, “The agency did not respond to the request.”
This login error may occur if Strata Communicator services are not running. The "Strata Communicator Installation Guide" will assist in determining which services are not running and provide guidance for resolving the problem.
How do I log out of the app?
Once the app has not been used for 5 minutes it will automatically log you out.
