Install Supporting Software
Before you can install the Ellucian Mobile components, there are several prerequisite software components that must be installed.

- Add an Ellucian module and specify standard settings
  Use this procedure to add an Ellucian application module to Ellucian Mobile and specify the standard settings that apply to all modules. You will also need to specify module-specific settings for most modules.
- Organize the module list
  To help users find the modules that appear in the menu on their devices, you can divide the list into sections and put the sections and modules in any order. The module list in the Cloud Configuration tool reflects the way that sections and modules appear on the devices.
- Audio Module
  Use the Audio module to make audio clips available to users. For example, you can publish an audio clip that contains a message from the school president or your institution's fight song, with or without a static background image.
- Courses Module
  The Courses module allows students and faculty to view information about the courses that they are taking or teaching.
- Directory Module
  The Directory module allows users to search for people at your institution and get contact information for them. You can limit the search to certain groups of people, such as Students and Faculty. You can also control the contact information that is displayed for each person.
- Events Module
  The Events module allows users to view upcoming events on your institution's calendars.
- Feeds Module
  The Feeds module allows users to view news feeds from your institution. Users can view the full text and photos of the news items and share the items with other people. Your institution can have one Feeds module or multiple Feeds modules that focus on different categories of news.
- Grades Module
  The Grades module allows students to view midterm or final grades for all terms that have grades recorded in your information system. (The current term will not appear until midterm grades have been entered.) Users must be signed in to view their grades.
- ILP Module
  Colleague and Banner institutions that use the Ellucian Intelligent Learning Platform (ILP) can make information from supported learning management systems available to students through Ellucian Mobile. With ILP, students can view class assignments, events, and activities on their devices.

Test and Publish a Configuration
To view your configuration on a device, you must place the configuration into test status. When you are ready to make your configuration available in the public list of institutions on Ellucian GO, you publish the configuration.
Analyze Usage
The Google Analytics Platform lets you measure user interactions across various devices and environments. You can use Google Analytics to view detailed usage statistics of your school's Ellucian Mobile implementation.
Manage Configurations
In addition to the ability to add a new configuration manually, you can create a new configuration by copying an existing one, export configuration information, import configuration information, and migrate a configuration to a different database.
Set up multiple Mobile Integration Server Web Service Apps
If you want to have multiple active configurations at the same time, you need to set up multiple Mobile Integration Server web service apps.
Set up Load Balancing and Redundancy
Multiple Mobile Integration Servers can be set up for a single configuration. This can be done to scale the solution to support more mobile users, or for redundancy. Deployment of multiple Mobile Servers requires a shared data storage using either a Microsoft SQL Server or an Oracle database.
Ellucian Mobile on Wearable Devices
Users can view push notifications on their Android Wear and Apple Watch devices. Users with Apple Watches can also view ILP assignments and maps.
Debugging
Send detailed information from Ellucian Mobile to the log file to support troubleshooting.
