How to assign a new beacon to a tradesperson

Managing tradespeople's beacons are done from the employee report.  To get there navigate to the Report section in the main top level navigation.

Then in the sub menu head over to the Employee Report.

The employee report is very powerful and be used to run many different queries.  To see all that you can do with the employee report check out the Employee Report documentation.  To add a beacon to someone simply search for their name, select their row and click the beacon management button.

This will bring up the tag management dialog for the selected tradesperson.  In our case because we want to add a beacon enter in the beacon number you want to assign to the tradesperson as well as the date the tag was issued to that person and click Validate.

If it is a new beacon that hasn't been used before the system will ask you for a reason as well as if you have their previous beacon in your possession.  Answer those questions and hit Add Tag.  The tradesperson is now associated to the new beacon as of that date.

If the beacon has been used before you will see a slightly different display.  The system will show you who previously had that beacon and when it was taken back along with confirming the new tradesperson's name and start date.  If everything looks good lick Confirm and Make Switch. The beacon has now successfully been reused.
