If your organization has a Bluetooth integration set up for Teamworks AMS, you can input data straight from a third-party device into a field instead of manually entering the value. If a Bluetooth integration is set up, you will see the Bluetooth-enabled field in the event form on the mobile app.
The first time you use the form you will need to connect a device to the Bluetooth-enabled field.
After you have connected to a device, the value collected by the device will automatically populate in the field. It will also connect to that field during any subsequent logins. If it doesn’t connect automatically, you can search for the device again using the process outlined above.
For information on how to set up a Bluetooth integration as an AMS builder, check out the article on user-defined property schemas.
