By tapping on the Add button, your identity provider's information will automatically be loaded into the log in screen. 

This is a one time action and you will not have to do this again unless you remove the identity provider information by pressing on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Step 7 - You are now ready to log in to Pulsara using your identity provider.  Tap the Get Started button.

TIP: After these setups steps are complete, logging in to the Pulsara mobile app is as simple as launching the app, selecting your entities’ IDP from the selection menu and tapping Get Started.
