Adding IDentifiers

How Can We Help?

IDentifiers are essential for activating content on Podcatchers. By holding the device close to the IDentifier, visitors can access the associated content. Adding an IDentifier to a stop links it to the content, with the first stop of each tour acting as the start of the tour and requiring an IDentifier for each language.

Note: Any IDentifier used to start a tour and select a language can be present only once on your site. Otherwise, Podcatchers and PWA wouldn’t know which tour and language to start with. Other IDentifiersmay be used once per tour, but can be used just fine in multiple tours as a non-language Beacon.

1. Adding IDentifiers for the tour languages

To add an IDentifier to start the tour in a language, click on the first stop and open the Stop Settings.

Enter the IDentifier code from the physical device and make sure the label’s flag matches the language. Then, add the IDentifier to each language by clicking the language codes and entering the IDentifier codes there.

Save the settings by clicking the Save button.


The IDentifier code can be found on the back of the IDentifier

 

2. Adding IDentifiers for other stops

Adding IDentifiers to other stops is just as simple. Click the stop, open Stop Settings, and add an IDentifier by clicking the Add IDentifier button and entering the IDentifier code.

Click the Add IDentifier button and enter the IDentifier code.
More Beacons can be added by clicking Add another IDentifier.

Note: Other language settings do not apply to IDentifiers here. They do, however, apply to the title of the stop.

3. Hardware overview

The Hardware tab provides a quick overview of the battery levels in your IDentifiers. 

Stop IDentifiers are the IDentifiers assigned to stops in your tours, and the list shows the last activation and battery status.
 

New IDentifiers can also be added using the Add new IDentifier button. You can add multiple IDentifiers at once, or save the IDentifiers and close the popup with the buttons.

Lastly, you have the option to link the IDentifier to a stop as the final step, although it is not required.

By following these simple steps, you can simply add and manage IDentifiers for your tours.
