Send Username/Device ID to TracerConnect

[pr51713]

Hi

We have 9 forms on our hand held devices. We are looking at a way to for each user to "login" and send his/her's information to TracerConnect so I can dump the information to our SQL Server database. Is there a way to send that information in a hidden field?

Plus, we like to keep track of the hand held devices. Is there a way to get the device name or Mac address and send that in a hidden field for us to input into our SQL Server database.

We would like it so that we do not have to barcode scan the username, but if need too...we can do that.

Hi,

You can create a variable field to reflect either the User (the logged in user if using logins) or the device ID. This field value would then be saved with each record.

1. Add a new field and set its Field Type = Variable.
2. From the variable options tab, select the appropriate variable type (device ID, User, etc).
3. Include this newly added field in your TPConnect field mapping and you should see that value sent over for each record.

Let me know if that helps.

I'm using trial version of TracerPlus desktop. I cant see VARIABLE in InputType property values.

Hi,

The Variable type is actually a Field Type option available under the General Tab of the field settings. This will expose a new Variable Options tab where you can select the Variable type you need.
