Can I use LockRoom on a phone or tablet?

Yes, in the browser, with nothing to install. Buyers can do everything on a phone: accept the invite, sign in, sign the NDA, browse, search, open and download documents they are allowed to. Bankers can run the room from a phone, and do everything on an iPad or Surface.

LockRoom works in the browser on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. There is no mobile app to install, so a buyer can open the invite on a phone and be in the room in a minute.

What buyers can do on a phone

  • Open the invite or new documents email and register or sign in.
  • Enter the sign in code we email you. Pasting it works too.
  • Read and sign the NDA.
  • See what is new since your last visit, browse folders and search the room.
  • Open any document you have access to, and download it where the seller allows downloads.

What bankers can do on a phone

  • See room activity: who viewed or downloaded what, and when.
  • Approve or deny access requests.
  • Invite or remove users and move a user between groups.
  • See each group’s access and change the access on one folder.
  • Upload files from Files, Photos or the camera.
  • Open any document in the room.

On an iPad, a Surface or any tablet, bankers can do everything they can do on a computer, including uploads by drag and drop, the full permissions matrix and room settings.

Best done on a tablet or computer

  • Editing the full permissions matrix across every group and folder.
  • Placing signature fields on an NDA template.
  • Exporting the audit log.

LockRoom says so on the phone screen where this applies, so nobody hits a dead end.

Screenshots

No web page on any device can stop a screenshot, and no honest data room claims otherwise. That is why every page a buyer sees carries a watermark with their name, on a phone as on a computer.
