The idea is that you create your own user account in Mobiledock (if you do not have one already), and then create your company as an Organisation in Mobiledock (if it is not setup already). Then you create the Connection with the other company using the Connection Code they sent you.
Note that, depending on how the Connection Code was created, it will likely expiry after a period of time (hour, day, or week). So it is best if you register and use the code as soon as possible.

When you create your Organisation it will be initially listed as Not Verified. This will not stop you accepting/using the Connection Code and participating in Bookings. Additionally, your unverified Organisation will not be visible to other Organisations you are not connected with.
You will be able to request verification from within Mobiledock. To do so, follow the instruction at How do I request verification for my Organisation?
