Technical Info
Make sure that your beacon ID(s) have correct format:
- For an iBeacon, you should use the UUID, Major and Minor values with an underscore between them (i.e. UUID_Major_Minor). For example, a valid iBeacon ID could be: e2c56db5-dffb-48d2-b060-d0f5a71096e0_6_6.
- For an Eddystone beacon, you should use the NamespaceID and InstanceID values with an underscore between them (i.e. NamespaceID_InstanceID). For example, a valid Eddystone ID could be: d3ex1918sde157cl1102_1cl1567drs27.
To retrieve/program these values you can use the Application provided by your Beacon supplier. Please note that the combination of those values (UUID_Major_Minor in case of iBeacons and NamespaceID_InstanceID in case of Eddystone beacons) has to be unique.
Assign beacons from web application
You can assign beacon checkpoints from your web application in two ways:
Click on the "Company" button on the left of your navigation bar and choose "Check Points".
n beacons from mobile application (for Eddystone beacons)
If you are using Eddystone beacon checkpoints, you also have the option to assign them from your mobile application as follows:
Firstly, make sure that on your mobile application under Settings, the "Eddystone" Beacon Type is selected.
On your mobile application, click on 'Checkpoint Assignment'.
Click on 'Scan Beacon Tag' and then press 'Scan Beacons'. A list of all the Beacons in range (sorted by proximity) will appear on the top of your screen.
Note that the Beacons that already belong to your Company (have been added to your Checkpoints list) are displaying in green colour.
Click on 'Stop Scanning Beacons' and select (at least) one Beacon.
Insert a Description and/or a Site Code (optionally).
Click on 'Assign'.
The Beacon will be added to your Checkpoint list and you will be then able to view it on your web-application by going to Company -> CheckPoints.
