Best Practices & Tips

  • Create all new equipment on the desktop web version first.
  • Assign NFC tags during creation (desktop).
  • Clearly label tags with the equipment ID for easy visual identification.
  • Test each tag after assignment.
  • Ensure NFC is enabled on your phone, some older phone or tablets don't support NFC.
  • Always use the latest version of the ComplianceTrackr app.

Troubleshooting

Tag not reading?

  • Hold the tag 1–2 cm from the phone’s NFC reader.
  • Confirm the tag is correctly assigned to the equipment.
  • Restart the app and try again.

Tag already in use? The app will alert you. Un-assign it from the previous equipment first (via Edit on desktop).
