Managing projects in mobile content server

Depending on the ArcGIS Server role to which you belong, you have different access rights to manage mobile projects and folders on the mobile content server. The actions you can perform include:

• Uploading, downloading, viewing, deleting, and moving mobile projects
• Creating and deleting folders

Most actions described in this topic requires you to be in an administrator role or a publisher role. See Mobile content server to know what operations can be performed by users from each role.

2. When the page is loaded, log in with your ArcGIS Server account credential.

   If you log in successfully, you will see the Content Root page as shown below:

3. Click WindowsMobile to see the Content Type page.
4. By default, there is a Projects folder. If you have created more folders, they will be listed on the page as well. Read the following sections for more information.
