When your intranet is upgraded to ThoughtFarmer 10, the ability to use the ThoughtFarmer mobile app to access the intranet is automatically enabled. Your intranet must be running ThoughtFarmer 10 or higher to use the mobile app.

If you use Windows SSO as the primary login method on your intranet, you will need to follow some additional steps to enable mobile app usage. To learn more, see Enabling the mobile app.
