If you are using Eddystone beacon checkpoints, you also have the option to import 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.
