Woodford is a tool that lets you customize and configure MobileTech for your business purposes. For information on customizing and configuring entities, see Use Woodford to modifying entities.

We recommend that when you launch Woodford, you log on by using the system administrator credentials you used when you installed MobileTech Administration.

1. In MobileTech Administration, choose Tools > Launch Woodford. 
2. Enter the URL, user name, and password to log on to Woodford. 
   The URL must include the server name and port where MobileTech is installed, and the name of the company database (in lowercase letters). Example: http://servername:8080/companydatabase
3. Choose OK. 
4. The Registered User window might be displayed. If it is, enter your contact information in the window and choose Register.

   Do not install a new version of Woodford until you are instructed to do so by KEY2ACT. Woodford is a third-party product and you must use a version of Woodford that is compatible with MobileTech R7.0.

6. Choose Import and browse to the location where the MobileTech.woodford file was saved when you installed MobileTech Administration. For most users, the location of the Woodford file is C:\Program Files (x86)\Signature MobileTech Admin\Woodford.The Add Mobile Project window is displayed.
7. In the Type and Template fields, accept the default entries.
8. In the Name field, enter MobileTech.
