We just changed up how we are running device handouts in our district for 5-12 graders, they will be getting their devices checked out to them for 4 years with no check-ins during that time, we are relying on audits to keep them in line. What we need to know is if there is a way for the device to follow the student based on the students location data? We have kids that transfer schools mid-year or the usual route of going from middle school to high school and we need these devices to automatically change their location when the students location changes. I’ve looked through several articles but I was unable to find any specific documentation or process on this.

@Zane Groven Hi Zane, I think I have a rule for you to create! This should have you update the assets with the location when they are updated, you could also set this rule for when they are verified if that is what your district does automatically 😄 I would create the rule to make sure it keeps the location as the owner’s location and that will enable the device to follow them within the county. Whether you want to do when updated or when verified should work 

 


How is this different than the Admin → Site Option settings for 
“When User is Assigned an Asset: Update Asset to Match Owner's location” and
“When User's Location Changes: Update Asset to Match Owner's location”
 

If you have these enabled, do you need to have a rule as well?


@Carina Burns Randolph The site option is for all devices; the rule allows you to determine which specific models. If you have the site option, you do not need the rule. 😄
