To start with you will need to set up a Share Page on the SPOT web site.  Instructions on how to do that are available here: https://faq.findmespot.com/index.php?action=showEntry&data=1679

You'll need to take note of three things:

  1. The link to your Share Page.
  2. The password for your Share Page (if you set one).
  3. The ESN of your tracker (see https://faq.findmespot.com/index.php?action=showEntry&data=1646 for help on locating the ESN of your device)

You'll need administrative access to workaware to configure the SPOT tracker.

From the workaware main screen, go to Company Settings

  1. Enter a descriptive name for your SPOT device in the Name column
  2. Make sure SPOT is chosen in the Type drop-down.
  3. The User Name column is currently ignored so it can be left blank
  4. If you set a password while creating your Share Page put it in the Tracker Password column.  
  5. Finally simply extract the Feed ID from the link to your Share Page and enter it in Feed ID.  For example if your Share Page link looks like http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0XapxKiqW4RCHYhVkaCBpaHT3cNMUcEef then the last part (0XapxKiqW4RCHYhVkaCBpaHT3cNMUcEef) is your Feed ID and would be entered in the last column.
  6. Click Save to make sure your tracker details are stored.

Workaware will now begin polling your Share Page regularly to get tracking updates.  However you will need to link the tracker with one or more users in order for tracking data to be stored for them.  To associate a tracker with a user do the following:

  1. From the workaware main screen go to People
  2. Double click on the employee who will be tracked using this SPOT device.
  3. In the employee's information page, scroll down to the "GPS Tracking" section
  4. Make sure "Is Tracked" is checked and enter the unique ID of your tracker (item #3 from above) in the box labelled "Tracker Id".
  5. Click "Save & Close" to save your changes.
  6. Now all tracking events generated by the device will be recorded in the tracking history for this employee.

You can repeat this for other employees being tracked by the same device. 

To remove the link between a employee and a SPOT device delete the value in the "Tracker Id" box for the employee and save your changes.
