Additional Notes

  • If you have another vehicle already added that you'd like to switch the device to, archive the device. Once that's done, click "Reactivate". Click "Unarchive with device" and it'll take you to add asset with the device name pre-filled.
  • Before proceeding, you may want to add the serial number to the old vehicle page for record-keeping.
