A[Admin creates Station] --> B[Register Device]
B --> C[Link Device to Station optional]
C --> D[Assign Device to User]
D --> E[User sees device in Profile]
E --> F[Screenshots and tablet control]
Steps¶
- Admin creates station (name, location) in Device service.
- Admin registers device (serial, model) under org.
- Optional: link device to station for edge sync.
- Admin creates assignment (
user_id,is_current=true). - Member opens profile / admin widget; sees assigned device.
- Tablet uploads screenshot or admin triggers tablet API via Device proxy.
Outcome¶
Traceable hardware inventory; one current user per device for data access.
Plan constraints¶
Max devices, screenshots per day, tablet control minutes.
Failure modes¶
| Failure | User impact |
|---|---|
| No assignment | User cannot see tablet files |
| Tablet server down | Control endpoints fail; retry |
| Quota exceeded | Screenshot upload rejected |
