Introduction
iChemistry smartphone application let's you access the basic and most important functionalities of iChemistry, such as viewing your products and managing your inventory, wherever you go!
You need to have a created user in iChemistry, to be able to sign in to the smartphone app. Contact your administrator if you don't have a user yet. Your user will have the same permissions, and belong to the same department, as in the web version. That means that if your user don't have writing rights, you won't be able to e.g. inventory in the smartphone either.
For administrative work, such as creating departments or managing users, you need to login to the web version.
The best practice for the app and user is to work with the department where you/they are located and work with their products. It is not a good best practice to use the app on the top department for example.
