How Do I Claim Ownership Over on the app an Existing Product? (e.g., New tenant moving in)

Article reference KA-01867

If you're taking over a site with existing products and need to claim ownership, there are two ways to do it:


1. Transfer Ownership (Preferred Method):

If the previous owner is available, they can directly transfer all products and associated settings to you.

7. Manage user access from GDHV Digital on Vimeo.

Step 1: Ask the current owner to transfer ownership of the entire site. They can do this by adding your email into the app.

Step 2: After that, download the Capa Connect App, set up your account, and accept the invite. This makes you a secondary user.

Step 3: The primary owner can then complete the transfer by changing the ownership in the app's settings.

 

2. Manual Claim of Each Product:

If you cannot contact the previous owner, you'll need to claim each product individually and set up zones and schedules. This is the same process as setting up a new product with the addition of step 5 & 6

Step 7: Activate the product's Bluetooth, following app guidance.
