Please note:

Bridge applications that are not available for the installation are greyed out

To start Axess Digital eDROPS:

Please note; that you find installation information in the top section of the "Installation Dashboard" - check that you are on the correct installation before you start eDrops
(We have selected "demorig" on the company "The Company")
Click on the "Application" icon to start the application "eDROPS".

Axess Digital Company Portal - Installation Dashboard Loading Screen

When you have started eDROPS, the eDROPS Loading Screen will appear.

Please note:

The applications will automatically be installed on your device. The first time eDROPS start, this process could take some time (up to 5 min depending on your internet connection).
Please be patient
On a handheld device (Android tablet), you will also be prompted to install the application on your device's start screen. eDROPS is not a common Android application that can be found in Google Play.

Loading screen and installation -Please notice

When the tablet opens eDROPS for the first time, you will be prompted to install the app - do this if you prefer to use eDROPS directly from your start screen.
When a tablet or Desktop opens eDROPS for the first time, the application has to download and install eDROPS.
After the data is downloaded, press No.
If you press Yes, eDROPS will download the entire database content for all your installations using eDROPS, this takes time and will fill your device memory cache and storage space.
