Multiple Onboarding Server Address on Mobile

Problem statement - we have users who will want to access Mobile for different Maximo instances. 

Current state - IBM recommended that these users must currently do a full reset of the app and repeat the "on-board" process with the new server address in order to access the Mobile apps for a different instance. 

Future state - We would like to support faster switching between different instances on Mobile. This could be as simple as saving instance URLs in the app dropdown, so no need for user to re-type addresses every time! Or a more complex solution to enable multi-server addresses.

    Replying to comment on 7th Feb... this feature request has benefits not only for developers, but business users too.

    Our company (Rolls-Royce plc) has a significant number of business users who will switch between instances, in addition to our developer team. For example - an end-user may wish to switch between our Manufacturing and Aviation environment. Or, an end-user wanting to test new functionality in a representative (non-development) environment.

    I really hope you can consider this request for the quarter - discussions with IBM developers sounded promising.

    My problem is that in general the mobile application is designed for the work force to use, not for developers to test. Typically, the workforce have no need to swap to other servers. Indeed, unless you provide this option as a drop-down list, humans will screw this up. I do understand from a developement perspective, but cannot support this at this time.

    Absolutely, this would make it a much more usable, user-friendly tool for the Maximo community

    This is really needed as users often toggle between DEV and TEST and PROD instances
