"Drafts" Functionality for Devices

Description of the Situation

SmartPlayer platform users have access to a convenient way to register a large number of devices. This solution helps reduce the time spent on adding devices to the personal account. The "Drafts" functionality assists users in implementing this capability.

Steps to Follow

Users must first request a special distribution package with the specified company ID from the SmartPlayer technical support team.

To use the "Drafts" functionality, the user must first log into their personal account. The next step is to go to the "Devices" section and find the "Drafts" category.

Advantages of the "Drafts" Functionality

In addition to the main function (quickly adding devices), this functionality also offers other convenient features:

1. If a device was accidentally deleted or deregistered in the system, it will be returned to the drafts.
2. In the drafts, all data received from the device is displayed, specifically:

• MAC address
• IP address
• Serial number

Other fields are also displayed, allowing for device identification.
