With mobile access, your staff view your diocesan contact information on an AndroidTM phone or an Apple® iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®.
Note: Information can only be edited within Church Office, then synchronized to DioOffice before being viewed on the app. PDS Mobile is a viewer, so data isn't stored on your mobile device.

- On the Mobile Access tab, select the information you want to publish to PDSMobile, and select what parish staff can access.
- Click Save.

After you upload the mobile data, users can log in to the Mobile Application by going to www.parish.mobi in their web browser, and using the same user name and password used to log in to PDS DioOffice. The Organization ID is the PDS site number for your diocese. For more on how to use the app, see View Contact Information on Mobile Devices.
