Add a User
You will be able to add a user through the "List" tab. For more information how to access this page, please see the User List page.
Once you are on the "List" tab, click on the Plus Sign in the top right corner to add a new user:
When you click on the Plus Sign button, the Add User pop-up window will automatically appear.
Note: Please note that adding a new user will generate a brand-new user for MobiWork. We strongly recommend that if there is a new employee at your company that you create a new user. If a new employee uses an enabled user's account, the historical data will be overwritten with the new user's data.
