The Igloo Mobile app is designed to keep users connected to the pulse of their digital workplace. After downloading the app for their iOS or Android mobile device, you can sign in with the same credentials ((SSO, Igloo, and LDAP) as the normal web experience of their digital workplace. You will receive an onscreen tutorial explaining the essential components of the app after installing it and signing in.
To stay current with and find the content, processes, and information that they need for your work, you can navigate between the available tabs (Feed, Notifications, Web, Favorites, and People) by tapping them.
To quickly find content or people, you can search the entire workplace. You can then interact with content by commenting, liking, following, and sharing, or starting a conversation by posting to any microblog channels in the workplace to which you have access.

MDM and MAM Support
The Mobile app may be distributed and managed using Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) software.
Using MAM software, IT administrators can push the app to iOS and Android-managed devices. This helps ensure that the app gets installed on employees' devices, and additional internal communications can promote its usage.
Note
Some MDM/MAMs may require a URL reference, which is unavailable with Igloo's Mobile app. For options on MDM/MAM delivery, contact CSM@igloosoftware.com to discuss our Branded Mobile program.
