Action Tokens¶
Action Tokens allow you to handle logistical operations in the field in a rapid way, without having to login into the MDM all the time. Depending on the version of the Famoco Layer you have, you will have to use the new or the old format. Both are described in this page.
Creating Action Tokens¶
Please check the MDM Docs - Action Token page for more information about how to create Action Tokens.
New format¶
This format requires Famoco Layer version 3.14.0 or above.
Using it couldn't be simpler:
- download the QR code image by pressing the big "Download" button underneath it, and send it to your operators in the field
- your operators will be able to activate this action token by pressing the "QR Code Scanner" button on the device's Dashboard (see image below)
Old format¶
This format is compatible with most Famoco Layer versions below 3.14.0.
The Action Token takes the form of an NFC card and requires the Action Token Activator Application to be installed on at least one of your devices (the Master Device).
Write a NFC Card¶
- Turn on the Master Device to use the Action Token Activator Application
- Click on the "Scan QRCode" button
- As soon as the QR Code has been scanned, the Action Token reference will appear on the screen
Note
An alternative method is to enter the unique code on the app, by typing it manually into the ‘Enter Token Code’ field. To avoid mistakes, we strongly recommend using the QR code scan instead.
- Once the Token code is visible on the screen, click on the "Activate Token" button
- The text "Place the Token Card under the device" is displayed on the screen
- Place the NFC Card on the back of the Master Device
- A sound will be triggered (if the volume is activated on the device) and a success message is displayed to confirm the operation
- The NFC Card is ready to be used
Verify a NFC Card¶
- To verify which Action Token has been written on a NFC Card, you may use the Read option of the app
- Place the NFC Card on the back of the Master device
- The Action Token code is displayed
Use a NFC Card¶
- Tap the NFC Card on the back of the device that you want to apply the action to
Note
The target device must be within the same MDM organization as the Action Token you're using.
Be careful not to store NFC Cards too close to devices to avoid unintentional actions.
