The Shop Floor mobile app for Business Central installs in minutes. You find it in the app store or directly from your Business Central client, run it on a 60-day trial, and activate it from your role center. Activation downloads the standard mobile flow setup automatically, so you get all the out-of-the-box configuration without manual work.
You activate Shop Floor by clicking the notification in your role center and entering your email address. After activation, you search for Shop Floor in the menu to open the overview and start registering on the shop floor.
You can update the mobile flow setup later when new versions are released.
