Construct PM – Getting Started
Downloading the Construct PM App
The Construct PM app can be downloaded for both iOS and Android devices from the Apple and Google Play stores.
Logging In
Log in screens for Cloud, Enterprise, and Collaborate customers.
Upon opening the Construct PM app, users are presented with three options for logging in. All users are prompted for their Construct PM username and password. Enterprise customers are asked for the URL to the server their company is using for Field and Cloud customers are asked for their Tenant ID. Cloud customers need not worry about any patches or updates to their CMiC environment, they need only enter their login details. Please note that Cloud customers should decide whether to log into Atlas Server or Nova Server. Nova Server is selected by default.
