Discard any changes and return to the list of locations.

Note: there is an Import option that allows data to be imported from a CSV or Excel file. For the correct format, enter a record manually and then Export it to see the layout. Imported data will either be created as NEW if the ID does not exist, or will UPDATE an existing ID number.

6.7 Activating a new Location

Login to the Solo app on the phone as a user with Tag Activation rights (see Mobile Users above).

Press the Options button (this varies from phone model to phone model - usually is three vertical dots or dashes at the top/bottom of the phone screen) and choose one of the following methods to activate tags:

Activate Location (Usual way of activating tags)

Manually enter the tags unique Location Id code, which must already have been created in the Solo back-office system (see Location above). Or search by Location Name.

If a context number needs to be written to the tag then choose the correct Context from the drop down list.

Note that there is an option to write protect the context – this prevents unauthorised users (e.g. members of the public with smart phones) from overwriting data onto the tag (they cannot change the location ID or anything like that). This has proven to be a good idea in university and college sites where students have a curious ‘what if’ tendency.

Press “Activate Location” – phone will now ask you to touch the tag to be activated. If it was successful, the phone will reply with an appropriate message.
