Adding an Item to an iFob

NOTE: If your system is an RFID Locker System, it will not contain iFobs. However, this section will still be relevant and the term ‘iFob’ will be referring to the ‘RFID Tag’ in a Locker System.

TrakaWEB by default has an item type already created named 'Key'. This item type can be used at any time. TrakaWEB also allows you to create your own item types and assign them to iFobs on the system viewer. Therefore, you could create an item type called Car Keys, and then create twenty car keys that you can then assign to the iFobs.

NOTE: It is possible to add up to 5 Items to a single iFob and they must all be of the same item type.

  1. From the system viewer, highlight a position that currently does not have an item assigned. Then using the Toolbar, select the Edit Item button.

  2. You will be presented with the Details page. Here, you can edit the details as required and select the item type from the drop-down menu.

  3. Select the Item Type and then select the Attach iFob button.





    The iFob Selection screen will now appear, showing a list of all the iFobs in the system that currently have not been assigned items. From the drop-down menu on the ribbon toolbar, it is possible to view All iFobs or Free iFobs Only.

  4. Select an iFob that you wish to add the item to.


  5. Once you have made your selection, click on OK and you will return to the New Item page.

  6. Click on the Save button to complete the process.

    On returning to the System Viewer, you will now see the item has been added to the selected iFob. Repeat the process to add items to the remaining iFobs as required.



    NOTE: It is possible to change headings of the detail fields by Editing the Item Type.

    After you have entered all the required details click the Save & Return button. This will take you to the items list for the system you are currently viewing. Clicking the Cancel button will return you to the Item Types page without saving the new item details.
