Learn how to assign a Badge to a user using the web application.

What
Assigning a Badge links the device to a specific caregiver. This allows Nobi to log visits, time spent, and provide clear insights on care provided.
Why
By assigning a Badge to a user, each visit becomes visible. You can see how long a caregiver spends with a resident and spot trends or workload imbalances. This helps improve transparency and decision-making. With insights from Badge data, you can optimise shift planning and ensure better care distribution. Plus, it reduces manual tracking and increases trust within teams.
It is also possible to assign a badge to a user using the Nobi Mobile App.
Detailed steps
To assign a Badge to a user, follow the steps below.
Please note that this action can only be completed on the Nobi web application via the User management page. Access to this page is restricted to managers only.
- As a manager, click the cog/gear in the top right corner to access User management.
- Locate the user you wish to assign the Badge to and click Edit.
- Navigate to the Badge tab.
- Click Assign.
- Enter the MAC address, which can be located on the reverse side of the Badge. Then click Save.
- To activate a new Badge, press and hold the button on the Badge for three seconds. A new Badge is not yet active when it comes out of the box. Holding the button turns it on and lets it register with the Nobi lights around it.
The first time a Badge is assigned to a user, it shows the status Log in disallowed and cannot yet be used to sign in. To enable it, sign in to the Nobi Mobile App on a device that can scan NFC and hold the Badge to the back of the phone. The user can then sign in with their Badge.
The Badge is now assigned and ready to use.
