Documenting Beacons on the Google Sheet
As you install the beacons throughout the building, you should use the Google Sheet provided by NowForce Support to record where each beacon was installed. The longitude and latitude will be added when you pin the beacon, see Pinning Beacon Coordinates.
The following mandatory fields must be completed in the document:
- Unique ID
Beacon unique identification conventions differ between Eddystone and iBeacon:
- UID for Eddystone
- Minor_Major for iBeacon
- Building
- Floor
- Longitude
- Latitude
You will need to use the NowForce Map to determine each beacon's longitude and latitude. See Pinning Beacon Coordinates for more details.
Additional fields provided for in the document include:
- Beacon name
- Room
- Transmission power
- Broadcasting interval
- Installation date
