Figure 15—List of tags within Tag Portal. To program select the serial number or pencil icon.
This will open a new window with setting selections. The same programming options are available whether
settings are configured via Tag Portal or from within Tag Agent.
Once settings have been selected in Tag Portal, click the blue Propose Changes. This will save the settings
in the cloud. The next time that tag communicates with Tag Agent (no matter who plugs the tag in), a
dialog box will appear notifying that new settings are awaiting upload.
Multiple set-ups can be published resulting in a queue of configurations awaiting upload. In this case, a
dialog box will reveal a list of the configurations published, when they were selected, and which
administrator chose the settings.
Tag Portal maintains a historic record of tag settings each time changes are uploaded into a tag. The record
is instantly updated so long as an internet connection is available.
If tags are programed offline, using Tag Agent, the next time an internet connection is established and Tag
Agent software is open, the record automatically updates.
Offline Mode
Before programming can be done offline, Tag Agent must be downloaded
and opened with valid
credentials entered
while connected to the internet.
So long as the software has been opened once and credentials have been entered, programming offline is
feasible. To program settings, select Administer Tag from Tag Agent’s top navigation bar, choose settings,
and click Send Changes. A dialog box will confirm settings have been loaded into tag.
The next time internet connection is established, and Tag Agent software is open, the historical record will
be updated in Tag Portal.
Online templates are not accessible when working offline. To program a group of tags with the same
settings when working without internet connection create a local template. A file of the selected tag
settings will be saved onto your local machine. Local templates can be created and applied in the Template
Manager. Expose the Template manager with the icon in the upper right corner of the screen. The
Internet connection status is displayed at the bottom of the Tag Agent home screen.
