Programming NFC Tour Stops with the Tag Manager

Modified on Thu, 18 Jul at 10:25 AM

IMPORTANT:

NFC Tags that you use must be NTAG216.

Step-By-Step

Sign into the OfficerApps mobile app as a Customer Admin, Supervisor, or Custom Role that has permission to Add/edit Tour Stops.
- A Customer Admin will be able to Write and Read NFC tags for all Sites.
- A Supervisor will only be able to Write/Read NFC tags for Sites that he or she supervises. This allows supervisors to be responsible for placing the tags onsite or programming new tags, if they need replaced.
From the main menu tap Tag Manager.
From the main menu, Tap the Write NFC Tag button and then drill down to the appropriate Site.
After selecting a Site, you will see a list of Tour Stops created for the Site.
Tap the Tour Stop to write data to the NFC tag.
From the Write NFC Tag screen, hold the device against the NFC Tag for a few seconds to write data to the tag.

After the data is written, you will receive a message saying Write Operation Successful. If the tag does not write the first time, you may have to pull the tag away from the device and try again.
You can either write all the tags at once and then place them at the Site later or write and place them one at a time if you are at the Site.
To write more tags, tap the Back button and select a different Tour Stop.
The Read NFC Tag feature is useful when placing tags or verifying what Tour Stop a tag is associated with. From the Read NFC Tag screen, hold the tag against the device. The Tour Stop Name and Placement Instructions will display. If the tag is blank or a tag that hasn’t previously been written to by the OfficerApps Tag Manager, a message will display to indicate that the tag is a not an OfficerApps tag.
