Assign or reassign a Smart Badge

In Entity Manager, assign a Kontakt.io Smart Badge to a staff member, or replace a staff member's assigned Smart Badge with a different one.

In Entity Manager, the Tag control is where you assign a device to any entity. For staff, that device is a Smart Badge — the steps below use the Tag control to assign it.

Before you begin

  • You have the Staff Manager role. See About user access to Entity Manager.
  • The Smart Badge is already in your account and not yet assigned to another entity. Smart Badges are added to your account in Device Management.

Assign a Smart Badge

  1. From the Kontakt.io Launchpad, select Entity Manager.
  2. Go to Staff and select the staff member.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. In the Tag section, select Assign Tag.
  5. Choose the Smart Badge from the list. The list shows badges that are compatible and not yet assigned. Enter a Unique ID or MAC to find a specific one.
  6. Select Save.

Reassign a Smart Badge

  1. Open the staff member and select Edit.
  2. In the Tag section, select Reassign.
  3. Choose the new Smart Badge and select Save. The previous badge is released and becomes available to assign to another entity.

Result

The staff member shows their assigned Smart Badge, including the model and Tag ID. A staff member without a Smart Badge is valid — they stay in the list with a tag status of Not Assigned until you assign one.
