1 Getting Started

PECOS P2P Mobile runs on your device's web browser and is designed to be easy to use by users familiar with using 'Apps' on their phone.

PECOS P2P Mobile is simply a means of connecting to your organisation's existing P2P application through a mobile or portable device using a different user interface. The mobile pages deliver more limited features and functions but, being the same system, utilise the same data.

System Access

PECOS P2P Mobile is not an 'App' that you need to download. Your system administrator will provide a link in order for you to access PECOS P2P Mobile. When you click on the link, or type it into your phone’s browser, you will be asked to login to your PECOS P2P user account.

  1. Open your mobile device's web browser and enter your mobile URL.
    2. Enter your usual PECOS P2P Username and Password. (Be careful that your device does not apply unwanted capitals.)
    3. Tap the ‘Log In’ button to open the Home Page and Main Menu.

Navigation

PECOS Mobile is designed to default to ‘Portrait’ mode but may also be used effectively in 'Landscape' mode. Scrolling is allowed in the normal way for the device being used.

PECOS P2P Mobile is designed specifically for the two major Smartphone browser platforms: iPhone (IOS) and Android, but should however work on other platforms with a touch based interface. Note that there are minor differences in the way each platform displays PECOS P2P Mobile.
