You can link contacts such as the person responsible for a device or its maintenance contact to a Spot. Field history lets you check changes to a stored device value.
Open Assets, devices, tools in the browser and click the Spot's name. Changing contacts requires appropriate editing permissions.
Link a contact
- Open Contact information on the Spot form.
- Select Add existing contact if the person is already registered.
- Find the person and mark them using the selection icon.
- Select Save.
If the person does not exist, select New contact. Enter at least their first and last names. Add an email address, phone number, job title and company as needed, then save. Phone numbers must contain 10–15 characters.
The same contact may be linked to several Spots. Editing their details changes the shared contact record.
Unlink a contact from a Spot
Use the person's remove icon in the Spot contact list and check that the confirmation concerns removal from this Spot. This removes the link to that device.
Delete on the contact's own form removes their details from all Spots. Use it only when the contact is no longer needed anywhere.
Check a field's value history
- Find the field on the Spot form.
- Open its adjacent history icon.
- Select a period.
- Check the time, person, old value and new value. Use Only fetch value changes to filter the list.
If an expected change is missing, check the period and filters. This history concerns the selected Spot's field. Device card details have separate history for adding and removing fields.
