Registering a Tracking Device

Updated by Chris Harley

Register a tracking device to add it to your company so it can be linked to a serialized item. Only devices that ToolHound has shipped to your company can be registered. To register many devices at once, see Importing Tracking Devices.

  1. Open Asset Tracking in the left menu and select Tracking Devices.
  2. Click Register device at the top of the device list.
  3. Enter the Serial No. from the label on the device. Spaces, dashes, colons and periods are ignored.
  4. Click Register. The device appears in the list as Not linked.
  5. Link the device to the serialized item it is attached to. See Linking and Moving a Tracking Device. A device does not update an item's position until it is linked.
If the serial number is not recognized, check it against the label on the device. A device that was not shipped to your company by ToolHound cannot be registered. Contact support@toolhound.com if a device you received is refused.

A device can also be registered from the Tracking Device panel on the General tab of a Serialized Items record. See Tracking Devices on Serialized Items.
