Installing Opter Driver for iOS

Step 1: Install the app

Opter Driver requires iOS version 15.0 or later. To see which iOS version your phone is running, tap Settings > General > About.

How to install the app:

  1. Open App Store on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Search for “Opter Driver” and install the app with that name.

Step 2: Configure the app

To connect the app to your Opter system, proceed as follows:

  1. Open Opter on a computer. Tap on QR codes and links for our apps under Help at the top-right corner of the main menu in Opter. A browser window will open with the QR code and server address, which will be needed later on.

  2. Open Opter Driver on your mobile (by tapping the app icon).

  3. Tap Settings (1).

  4. Connect the app to your Opter system in one of the following ways:

    • Enter your cloud ID (cloud name) in the Server address or Cloud ID field (2). The cloud ID is your company name as it is called in Opter, for example "courierservices". There must not be any spaces in or after the name.

    • Tap QR (3) and scan the QR code for Opter Driver. The QR code is available in the main menu of Opter by clicking on QR codes and links for our apps under Help on the right.

    • Enter your server address, for example "https://courierservices.opter.cloud:xyz/mobile" in the Server address or Cloud ID field (2). The server address is available in Opter by clicking on QR codes and links for our apps under Help on the right.

  5. Tap Close to save the settings.

To ensure the times of shipments are displayed correctly in the app, the correct time zone must be set. On an iPhone, tap Settings > General > Date and time and activate Set automatically.

Step 3: Login as a vehicle or driver, and assignment of shipments

Choose whether drivers log into the app as vehicles or drivers, and choose whether shipments are assigned to vehicles or drivers. Click on Settings > Mobile data > Mobile device types and select Vehicles or Drivers under Log in as or Assign shipments to.

Step 4: Choose whether drivers have to enter a secondary resource when logging in

The following settings can be configured:

  • Should drivers be able to add a different resource type than the one they logged in as, and if so, should it be mandatory or not? For example, if they log in as drivers and then add a vehicle, or if they log in as vehicles and then add a driver.

  • Whether drivers should be able to see all other resources or only those resources that are associated with the same supplier as them.

How to configure the settings:

  1. Click on Settings > Mobile data > Settings mobile data.

  2. Click on an empty row in the Name column and then on the down arrow in the row being added.

  3. Select the setting to be configured from the list, for example App.ShowOnlySuppliersSecondaryResources. Enter “true” or “false” in the Value column.

Step 5: Create login credentials

Depending on the user login procedure adopted in step 3 above, login credentials are created for vehicles or drivers.
