Important: This article is part of a series of articles covering the Ideagen Quality Management installation process. Please visit How to Install Ideagen Quality Management to view the entire process.

The Ideagen Quality Management Web Service APIs is an add-on component for Ideagen Quality Management Ideagen Quality Management that allows you to take advantage of the Ideagen Quality Management apps for Android and IOS, giving you the option to view Documents, perform audits or report Occurrences on the move.

As well as allowing you to connect your Ideagen Quality Management app, the Web Services feature gives developers the option to build their own customer API to communicate with Ideagen Quality Management.

Please note that when installed, the Web Services feature will be installed as “QPulse5WebServices”. The reason this has not changed to match the version of Ideagen Quality Management is because a change to the naming convention of these folders would break any existing APIs that were built on older versions of Ideagen Quality Management.
