Note: Mobile Configuration settings would be available if you are logged in as an administrator.
Leapwork supports two different ways to configure the Mobile Configuration with devices:
Note that if the Connection type is Appium server, the mobile devices you want to add as a Mobile Configuration must also be configured on the Appium server.
You can complete the device setup by configuring the mobile device under Mobile Configuration tab:
Click on Add and a new window opens:
Enter the title in the Title field. It should be unique.
Enter the description in the Description field.
Click Add button next to Mobile and the following new fields appear:
