Setting P6 to Support P6 Team Member Mobile App Users

Contents

For users to perform tasks in the P6 Team Member for iOS app or the P6 Team Member for Android app, you will need to:

1. Ensure the users you want to use the P6 Team Member apps have a valid account in P6.

   Note: Each user with a valid user account can be assigned to activities as a resource assignment if the account is associated with a labor resource, as an activity owner, or by being assigned a Team Member work distribution filter.

2. Assign users to at least one module access option.
3. Assign users to one or more activity assignments (or tasks) for at least one active project. P6 Team Member will show tasks that have not yet started, active tasks, and tasks completed in the last 30 days.

   Note: OBS access to a project is not required for resource assignments or activity owners using P6 Team Member interfaces to view and update their assigned tasks. OBS access is required for each user with a Team Member work distribution filter assigned.

4. Have your P6 Team Member app users download and install the mobile app, P6 Team Member, from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to their mobile device.

   Note: The users will need to know the P6 server and their SSO username and password (if using SSO) or their P6 username and password (if using native authentication).

Upgrading Notes - P6 Team Member for iOS app only

When upgrading from release 8.1 to 8.3, Starred tasks are not transferred. The user will need to star their tasks again once the latest version is installed.

If your company is running P6 EPPM 8.1 or 8.2, users can install and use this updated version of the P6 Team Member for iOS app; however, they will not be able to use any of the new features for this release.

Error Message

If users receive one of the following messages, an SSL certificate may need to be obtained from a trusted certificate authority.

• iPhone: "Server URL points to an invalid web application."
• Android: "Cannot connect to server."

Known Issues

• If users are in a time zone that observes daylight savings time, the hours displayed in their tasks may be off by one hour.
• If users do not have any tasks assigned to them, they may receive the message "Some data failed to load. Refresh to try again." on the Home page of the app. This issue will only occur if your company has version 8.2 deployed on the P6 application server.
