Behind the scenes, the manager's experience is actually a Woodford project with the app name "Manager". The Manager project MobileTech Inspection Manager project has been designed to run in the web app, in your browser, on a computer. However, you can also sync your other devices with this project. It runs best on larger devices. Only the technicians with the Inspector role will display in the Inspection Manager app. For more information, see Resco's Wiki: https://docs.resco.net/wiki/Manager%27s_experience.
