    Article summary

    Note:
    This article showcases features that are typically only made available to Administrator roles.

    However, since Getac Enterprise is highly configurable, the ability to complete tasks described in this article may be different for each User, depending on policy. Please contact an administrator with all access questions and concerns.


    Note:
    Items covered in this section are informative only and do not explain how to set up individual BC-03 solutions. Many configurations of hardware and software are possible and unique to each deployment. Contact support@getacvideo.com for assistance.


    To access the Unit Configuration Page, perform the following actions:

    1. Search for the desired Unit from the Main Units Page.
    2. Check the box to the left of the desired Unit.
    3. Perform one of two actions:
      1. Click on the Wrench Icon.
      2. Click on the Gear Icon, then Configuration.

    Once the page loads, configuration options are available.

    Devices types include:

    BodyWornGen3 Configuration

    Unit Template

    This drop down list refers to a configuration that can be reused and assigned to any/all BC-03 units registered to Getac Enterprise. This is covered in Unit Configuration Templates.

    If creating a custom configuration unique to this one Unit, select * Custom Config from the dropdown bar, then proceed to make changes. 

    See image below for an example:

    Warning:
    If a Unit Configuration Template is currently assigned to a Unit, changes made on any sub-pages other than General will apply to ALL Units with that template assigned upon clicking save. If making an individual change to a specific Unit with a currently assigned template, it is HIGHLY recommended to select either custom config as mentioned above or to click on Save As to create and apply a new template to the selected device.

    Save/Save As

    Once the desired configuration parameters have been set, two options are available to save the settings:

    • Save
      • If Custom Config is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to only the selected Unit.
      • If a Unit Configuration Template is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to all Units with that configuration.
    • Save As - Use this feature to create a new template from the selected settings and apply to the selected Unit. This helps avoid accidentally changing the configuration of all Units with an assigned template. This is also helpful when testing one or two changes on an existing template with one Unit.
