HolAzAutó mobile app pairing (Transport)

The HolAzAutó mobile app pairing (Transport) feature allows the HolAzAutó mobile application to connect, by scanning a QR code or by manually entering the pairing code, to the device assigned to the Transport service. The process starts on the web interface, on the Devices page: you create the device there, and it appears in the device list. In the device list, you can see a QR code icon among the action buttons of a device; tapping it displays the QR code belonging to the device, together with the pairing code. By scanning this QR code, or by entering the pairing code manually, in the “Pairing” menu of the HolAzAutó mobile application, you can perform the pairing with the device.

What gave rise to the feature?

The HolAzAutó mobile app pairing was created so that the devices of the Transport service can also be used with the driver's mobile device. This way you do not need to procure and install a separate physical tracking unit for every vehicle — the phone itself becomes the device assigned to the service. After the pairing, the user can turn the GPS/tracking data measurement on or off by himself or herself, so the measurement can be flexibly adapted to the current task.

Overview and Operating Principle

The HolAzAutó Fleet Management mobile app pairing is the QR-code- or pairing-code-based connection between the device assigned to the Transport service and the HolAzAutó mobile application. The process starts on the web interface, on the Basic data → Devices page: in the action buttons at the beginning of the list row, the “Show QR code” button displays the QR code belonging to the device, together with the pairing code. The HolAzAutó mobile application scans the QR code, or you enter the pairing code manually; the application reads the device number, and performs the pairing. The feature belongs to the HolAzAutó Fleet Management Transport module and requires access to the Transport service, as well as the HolAzAutó mobile application installed on the mobile device.

Pairing on the web interface

You perform the first steps of the pairing on the HolAzAutó web interface, on the Devices page:

  • Navigation: Open the HolAzAutó Fleet Management web interface, then go to the Basic data → Devices menu item.
  • Creating the device: Create the device with the device creation button above the list; the created device appears in the device list.
  • Show QR code: In the action buttons at the beginning of the list row, click the “Show QR code” button — the QR code belonging to the device and the pairing code are displayed.

Pairing in the HolAzAutó mobile application

To scan the QR code or enter the pairing code, perform the following steps in the HolAzAutó mobile application:

  • Pairing screen: Open the pairing screen of the HolAzAutó mobile application.

  • Pairing button: Tap the Pairing button.

  • Scanning the QR code: Scan the QR code displayed on the web interface; for this, the phone must be near the QR code opened on the web interface. The application reads the device number.

  • Entering the pairing code manually: If you work remotely, or the QR code is not available, you can enter the pairing code manually instead of scanning the QR code. The pairing code is displayed next to the QR code in the window that opens with the “Show QR code” button on the web interface — type this code into the pairing field of the HolAzAutó mobile application.
  • Successful pairing: After scanning the QR code or entering the pairing code, the HolAzAutó mobile application pairs with the device.

Behaviour of the Transport menu without pairing

The HolAzAutó Fleet Management Transport menu item appears even if the conditions (for example the pairing) are not met. In this case, the HolAzAutó mobile application displays a descriptive error message and navigates to the pairing screen with a single button press.

Turning GPS/tracking data measurement on and off

After the pairing of the HolAzAutó mobile application, the user can turn the GPS/tracking data measurement on or off by himself or herself.

Re-pairing

If the HolAzAutó mobile application is reinstalled, or its data is deleted, the pairing possibility reopens in the application; you can perform the pairing again with the steps above.

What are the drawbacks of not using it?

Without the HolAzAutó Fleet Management mobile app pairing, the Transport menu item appears, but the HolAzAutó mobile application cannot actually use the Transport functions: the client displays a descriptive error message and navigates to the pairing screen. The lack of pairing means that the driver cannot connect to the Transport service with his or her mobile device, so the transport-related functions remain unavailable in the mobile client.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

? How can I pair the HolAzAutó mobile application with the Transport service?

: To pair the HolAzAutó Fleet Management mobile application, first create the device on the web interface, on the Basic data → Devices page, then display the QR code and the pairing code with the “Show QR code” button in the action buttons at the beginning of the list row. Then, in the HolAzAutó mobile application, tap the Pairing button and scan the QR code, or enter the pairing code manually — the application reads the device number and performs the pairing.

? Why is a QR code needed for the pairing?

: The QR code ensures that the HolAzAutó mobile application identifies exactly the device that you assigned to the Transport service on the web interface: the application scans the QR code, reads the device number from it, and performs the pairing based on it. The QR code contains the same pairing code that you can also enter manually.

? Can I perform the pairing without the QR code when working remotely?

: Yes. If scanning the QR code is not possible (for example, the phone is not near the QR code, or the QR code is not displayed on the web interface), you can enter the pairing code manually on the pairing screen of the HolAzAutó mobile application. You can find the pairing code next to the QR code in the window that opens with the “Show QR code” button on the web interface.

? Why does an error message appear in the Transport menu item?

: The HolAzAutó Fleet Management Transport menu item appears even if the pairing has not been performed; in this case, the HolAzAutó mobile application displays a descriptive error message and navigates to the pairing screen with a single button press.

? Can I turn the GPS/tracking data measurement on and off after the pairing?

: Yes, after the pairing of the HolAzAutó Fleet Management mobile application, the user can turn the GPS/tracking data measurement on or off by himself or herself.

? Do I need to pair the HolAzAutó mobile application again after reinstalling it?

: Yes, if the HolAzAutó mobile application is reinstalled, or its data is deleted, the pairing possibility reopens in the application, and you need to perform the pairing again.
