Scouting phones

Scouting phones join your team by scanning an enrollment code from a scouting lead’s Lovat Dashboard. No accounts, passwords or team codes to type. Everything here is under Scouting → Devices, and only scouting leads can enroll or revoke devices.

Enroll phones

1. Open Scouting → Devices and select Enroll a Collection phone (Sync → Enroll a Collection Phone… in the desktop menu).
2. On each scouting phone, open Lovat Collection, tap Scan enrollment code, and point it at the code.

One code works for all of your scouting phones until it expires, so it’s easiest to put it on a laptop or tablet screen and have everyone scan it in turn. The code shows when it expires; select New code if you need another. Phones need an internet connection to enroll.

Enrolling gives the phone a credential that lets it sync your team’s schedule and send reports. It renews itself whenever the phone is online. See Set up a scouting phone for what scouters see.

See your devices

The device list shows every Collection phone and Lovat app on your team, and when each was last seen: Seen …, Never synced, or Revoked ….

In the iOS and Android app, This device at the top of the tab also shows what this device hasn’t uploaded yet and when it last synced with each teammate.

Revoke a device

If a phone is lost, or leaves the team, select Revoke on its row. It stops syncing and can’t upload reports until it’s enrolled again. Reports it already sent stay.

Teammates’ devices stop accepting data from a revoked device as soon as they hear about the revocation, and within about two weeks at most even if they’ve been offline.

To reuse a phone for another team, reset it from Collection’s settings and enroll it with that team’s code.
