Setup code

Before connecting a tablet to a facility, you need to generate a one-time setup code:

  1. Click Setup Code next to the facility
  2. A 6-character alphanumeric code is displayed
  3. Enter this code on the tablet during the setup wizard

Setup code dialog showing 6-character code

Setup codes expire after 24 hours. Generate a new one if the previous code expires before the tablet is set up.

Setting up a tablet

Tablet setup begins by browsing to https://your-server/tablet directly from the tablet. No login is required. That public page provides the APK download link and step-by-step setup instructions.

/tablet page with installation instructions

The Download Page link at the top of the Facilities page opens the same /tablet page in a new window.

Deleting a facility

Click the delete icon next to a facility. Deleting a facility does not delete uploaded survey data; historical uploads are retained.
