The Practice Online Portal (POP) works off a web-based platform that does not require any additional software installations to be run on mobile phones. POP by default does not come with a phone icon to access the bookmarked page, but it can be added after the fact through the browser of your choice. The following will show how mobile users can add a shortcut of POP on to their mobile phone's home screen.

Safari on iPhone and iPad

To add a Safari shortcut for POP:

1. Tap on the Safari app icon, then navigate a web page to the Practice Online Portal website.

2. Tap the Share icon  on the bottom of the screen, this will open a list of additional options on the bottom of the screen.

3. Tap the Add to Home Screen button, this will bring up a request to name the shortcut which can simply be labeled "POP".

   

4. Tap the Add button on the top of the screen to save the shortcut on to the home screen.
