In this article, we will go over the four steps the Supervisor needs to take for an Officer who is already on a schedule in SmartForce, to use m-Post.
NOTE: Before an officer can be onboarded, they must already have a user profile and be on a schedule in SmartForce. This will create a user name in Guardtek.

Step 1. Reset a User Password
To reset a user's password:
1. Log onto the Guardtek web portal as a Supervisor.
2. Hover over the Settings module and click the Users option.
3. Find the user you want to reset the password for by typing in their last, first, or user name and then clicking the Search button.
4. Click the green eye, Details, icon next to their name.
5. Enter the new password into the Password field or select Generate to create a randomly generated password.
6. Select the green Enter button to save the new password.

Step 3. Verify m-Post App Access
Once the password has been changed and the device registered, the Officer should log in on the m-Post app to verify access.
Once the officer is logged onto the m-Post app, they can verify which site they are on and, if necessary, (step 4) change the site to the one they are working on if different.
Step 4. Change a Site (if necessary)
Depending on the selected site, when registering the device in Equipment, it may be necessary to change the site.
The steps for changing a site on the m-Post app vary depending on the device and platform.
