Touch Server URL Setup in Email

Logging on for the first time no longer requires users to enter the complete Touch Server URL. You now send them an email message containing a link that either directs them to the appropriate app store (if the mobile application is not yet installed) or populates the Touch Server URL field with their company URL.

Touch Server URL Format

For Vantagepoint applications hosted in the Cloud, the SAASDEPLOY setting is set to true in configuration.ini. In this case, the Touch Server URL follows the https://<instance>.deltekfirst.com/<instance>/touch/<mobile application> format, where <instance> refers to the customer instance and <mobile application> can be replaced by either time or crm.

ProductApplication.php

This file performs the linking and passes the Touch Server URL value to the application or redirects users to the appropriate app store.

Link for Customers

The link that you send to users is a hyperlink. When users click the hyperlink, the following scenarios occur:

  1. If the mobile application is not installed, it takes them to the appropriate app store to download the application. Users download the application from the app store and then they click the link again (and proceed to step 2).
  2. If the application is installed, it populates the Touch Server URL field with their company URL.
  3. They tap the Connect button to connect to the Touch Server.
