title: Connect to Server
|

|
## Connect to InvenTree
|
|
|
|
Use of the InvenTree app assumes that you (the user) have access to an InvenTree server.
|
|
|
|
When first running the app, no profile has been configured. The *server* icon in the top-right corner of the home screen is <span style='color: red'>red</span>, indicating that there is no connection to an InvenTree server:
|
|
|
|
{% with id="no_server", url="app/initial.png", maxheight="240px", description="No server configured" %}
|
|
{% include "img.html" %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
Press on the server icon to navigate to the server selection view:
|
|
|
|
{% with id="no_profiles", url="app/no_profiles.png", maxheight="240px", description="No server configured" %}
|
|
{% include "img.html" %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create Server
|
|
|
|
!!! success "Server Profiles"
|
|
The app supports multiple server profiles, providing simple switching between different InvenTree servers and/or account profiles.
|
|
|
|
Press the <span class='fas fa-plus-circle blue'></span> button in the bottom-right corner of the screen to create a new server profile.
|
|
|
|
{% with id="add_profile", url="app/add_server_profile.png", maxheight="240px", description="Add server" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
Enter the required server details:
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| **Name** | Name for the server profile (can be any value, simply for reference) |
|
|
| **Server** | InvenTree server address (including port, if required). e.g. `http://inventree.myserver.com:8080` |
|
|
| **Username** | Your account username (case sensitive) |
|
|
| **Password** | Your account password (case sensitive) |
|
|
|
|
### Connect to Server
|
|
|
|
Once the server profile is created, you need to connect to the server. Simply short press on the server profile to connect.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, long press on the server profile to activate the context menu, then select *Connect to Server*.
|
|
|
|
When the app successfully connects to the server, a success message is briefly displayed at the bottom of the screen. A green <span class='fas fa-check-circle green'></span> icon next to the server profile indicate that the profile is currently *selected* and also the connection was successful.
|
|
|
|
{% with id="connected", url="app/connected.png", maxheight="240px", description="Connected to server" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
### Connection Failure
|
|
|
|
If (for whatever reason) the app does not successfully connect to the InvenTree server, a failure message is displayed, and a red <span class='fas fa-times-circle red'></span> icon is displayed next to the server profile.
|
|
|
|
{% with id="failed", url="app/unauthorized.png", maxheight="240px", description="Connection failure" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
In this case, the error message displayed at the bottom of the screen provides context as to why the app could not successfully connect to the server.
|
|
|
|
To edit the server profile details, long press on the server profile, and select *Edit Server Profile*:
|
|
|
|
{% with id="edit", url="app/edit_server.png", maxheight="240px", description="Edit server profile" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
