The BYOD option allows security guards to use TrackTik on their personal devices by providing a dynamic license. Rather than assigning the security guard's device to a site or zone, this option automatically places the device at the site or zone based on the assigned shift. Since it depends on having a shift, it is only available with our Scheduling module.
BYOD Concept
- The user enters their username.
- The mobile application pings the server and searches for shifts assigned to the user.
- Once the system finds the shift, the server returns the information from the shift (Start/End time and Site/Zone)
- The mobile application updates the dynamic license and assigns the device to the site or zone where the shift exists.
How to install a BYOD license
You create a BYOD license within a Department rather than a site or zone. The license and device will work at any site or zone where the user's shift exists. To install a BYOD license, follow the steps below.
- Hover over the "Employees" tile on the left-hand side menu. Select the "Departments" option from the pop-out menu.
- If no Departments appear, continue to the next step. If the desired department is present, locate the BYOD license installation code in the green box above.
Create a Department (if applicable)
The BYOD license will require a Department. Before you install a BYOD license, you can find the department you'd like or follow the steps below to create one.
- Hover over the Employees tile from the left-hand side menu. From the pop-out menu, select Department.
- To create a new department, click on the Create Department button.
- Complete the information in the form.
- Click on the Create button to create the department.
Install a BYOD License
After creating a Department, the Department will generate an installation code that security guards can use. If this code is installed on a device, that device will use a dynamic license. Complete the installation as usual. The device is ready to use once you are on the sign-in screen.
