SDL Field and Mobile — Getting Started & Logging In

SDL Field is the official mobile application for SDL, designed for municipal inspectors who need to access and manage inspections, complaints, service requests, and related records directly from the field. The app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices and supports offline access, syncing data back to SDL automatically when connectivity is restored.

SDL Field is available as a free download from the Apple App Store and SDL Mobile 4 is available for the Google Play Store. Search for this and install the app on your device.

When you open SDL Field/Mobile 4 for the first time, you will land on the Add Account screen. Tap the Add Account plus (+) button to begin setting up your account. On the next screen, tap Select a Town and type the name of your municipality, then select it from the results that appear.

Once your town is selected, enter your username and password. Your SDL Field credentials are the same ones you use to log into SDL Desktop — there is no separate login for the mobile app. If you are unsure of your credentials, contact your department administrator.

After logging in successfully, you will be brought to the Select Module screen, where you can tap any module to enter it.

To switch to a different module at any time while using SDL Field and Mobile 4, tap the three-bar menu icon in the top-left corner of the app and select Change Module. This will bring you back to the module selection screen. The modules available to you depend on your department's configuration and your user permissions. Common modules include Construction, Land Use, Code Enforcement, Fire Prevention, Public Works, Health, and others.
