Setting Up Customer Portal

Create a Follow-On Tracker Mobile Role

Note: This step is only required if the customers will be using their own devices to track assets among their own locations.

• On the website, use the Jump To box to go to the List Mobile Roles page
• Click on Add a New Mobile Role
• Enter a name for the new mobile role you are creating
  • The name should reflect that this is a Follow-On Tracker role, not for use by internal users
  • If your customers will be using both rugged handhelds and smartphones, you will need to create two different mobile roles. You may want to denote whether the role is for a smartphone or a rugged device in the name.
• Select Follow-On Tracking Users in the "What kind of user will you be assigning to this role?" section
• Choose the type of device that this role will be used on:
  • Choose Rugged and Simulator if the customers will be using Windows-based rugged handhelds or tablets
  • Choose Smartphone and Tablet if the customers will be using iOS or Android based smartphones or Tablets
  • You will need to create two roles if your customers will be using both rugged devices and smartphones
• After clicking OK, you will be taken to a screen where you can create the mobile role screen
• At the top of the screen, enter a title for the mobile screen. Customers will see this at the top of their smartphone or rugged devices screen
• Click Add an Action to add a button to the screen
  • Follow-On Tracker users can have two different actions: Customer Move Asset and Record Volume/Weight
  • Choose the action you want to add to the role
  • Enter a user-friendly name for the action in the "Show on Device as" section
  • Click OK
• Add another action if you need to, or click on Save This Role to save the mobile role
