Activate or Deactivate a Device

You can activate or reactivate a device to enable it to sync with Field View or deactivate a device no longer in use.

You should deactivate a device for a project if it no longer needs to sync with that project. This can free space on the device that can be used for new projects.

For security reasons, you should also deactivate a device if the person who owns the device no longer works with you or if the device is stolen. In this case, you need to deactivate the device for every project that it was activated for.

  1. Select the menu icon in the upper left corner, then choose Project Setup. Select Devices.
  2. Select the REF column for the device you want to activate or deactivate.
    Tip: By default, you see only the active devices on this page. Clear the Active Device checkbox to see deactivated devices. You can also filter the list of devices to quickly find the one you want. See Filter or Clear the Filter From the List of Devices.
  3. Select or clear the Active checkbox.
  4. Choose Save.
The activated device can now sync with Field View. The Active column displays a check mark icon to indicate the device is active. If you deactivated the device, the Active column displays a icon indicating the device is inactive.
If you activated the device, you need to complete the enrollment on the device. See Regenerate an Enrollment Code for a Device.
