  2. Ensure the device is correctly assigned to support the needs of the post.
    1. If the device remains at a single Site, you can associate it with that site.
    2. If the device will travel between locations throughout a shift, you should assign it to the Zone. Or,

  1. Click on the [Open] button to open the Guard Tour application.
  2. Enter your URL in the "Server URL" field. The Server URL will be the same URL you use to access the Live Dashboard. Makes sure to keep the "https://" in the URL.

  3. Select the position (Post) that will be using the device. The drop-down menu will provide the list of positions (Posts) available for this site/zone.

From the Mobile Device

  1. You will see a license in the list of licenses for the site/zone. Use the installation code or the phone number you created above on the mobile device and enter that value in the "Installation Code" field.

This will complete the installation for this device.
