Configure User Cherwell Mobile Settings

Use the Default Mobile Access window (accessed from the Dashboards & Calendars page in the CSM Desktop Client Options window) to configure how Cherwell Mobile looks and behaves on your personal mobile device. You can configure which:

  • Mobile Home Dashboard to display by default.
  • Mobile Alert Dashboard to display by default.
  • Business Objects to make available. Associated Saved Searches will also be available.
  • Actions/One-Step Actions to make available for each Business Object.

Good to know:

  • The Cherwell Mobile applications for iOS and Android were deprecated in March 2019 and are no longer available in their respective application stores. Cherwell Mobile applications that are already installed should continue to work as expected, however.
  • Users must have Cherwell Mobile security rights to configure User Cherwell Mobile settings.

  1. From the CSM Desktop Client toolbar, click Tools>Options.
  2. Click the Dashboards and Calendars page.

      Objects to Display On Mobile Device

    3. Define how to display the Business Object in Cherwell Mobile:
      • Custom Name: Provide a display name to use in Cherwell Mobile. If this is left blank, the Business Object name will be displayed.
      • Custom Image:

        Select the image to open the Image Manager, and then select an existing image or import a new image to represent the item in the UI.

        If you do not select an image (None), the default image for the Business Object is displayed.

        Android: Android devices use standard color images. For the best results, use the images in the BusObs>32x32 folder in the Image Manager. If you are setting up a mobile configuration for use on both Android™ and iOS® devices, use the iOS-specific images. They are automatically mapped to equivalent standard images for non-iOS® devices.
