XporterOnDemand:
Installing for Bromcom

To connect to your MIS, Xporter usually needs to be provided with a user account with certain permissions or some “API” details.

“API” details usually consist of a URL (website address) and a username and password. Sometimes it might be an “API Key” instead (a long list of letters and numbers).

Before you install Xporter, it is a good idea to have these details ready to go so you can finish the installation all in one go. Sometimes you may have to request these details from your MIS provider.

You will be provided a link to download the installer once you finish your registration. However, if you have closed this window or moved to another machine without getting the setup file, you can visit:

Please note, as Bromcom is a web based MIS we can host XporterOnDemand for you at no cost. If you wish to set this up please contact our support team for further instructions. If you would prefer to host XporterOnDemend yourselves please continue with this document.
