Adding to the Mobile App

To import an ePoc collection into the mobile library:

  1. Host the JSON File: Place the collection's JSON file on an accessible server (e.g., GitHub or GitLab Pages).
  2. Import the Collection: See the "Adding a Collection of ePocs" section in the Import Guide.

Best Practices

  • Use unique identifiers for each collection and ePoc.
  • Fill in all required fields for each ePoc and collection.
  • Always specify the license to avoid copyright issues.
