Step-by-Step Guide:

Operations: open Live Tracking to monitor guards and site activity in real time.
  1. Choose Token Type:
    • NFC Tags: Best for low-light areas or discreet checkpoints. Highly durable.
    • QR Codes: Best for high-visibility areas. Free to print and replace.

  2. Setup Process:
    • NFC: Open the Admin App, select "Write Tag," and hold your phone against the physical NFC sticker to program it.
    • QR: Print the code from the Site Dashboard, laminate it for weather protection, and stick it to the wall.

  3. Troubleshooting:
    • If a guard cannot scan, ensure they have granted the Attlock app permission to "Use Camera" (for QR) and that "NFC" is enabled in their phone settings (for Android).
