How to move a vPFM to a new organization

This article describes the steps to move a vPFM device between organizations

Prior to performing the transfer described below, make sure the vehicle is parked in a safe location where cellular connectivity is good.  Make sure the park brake is set and the engine/ignition is turned off, although the vPFM will need to be powered on to perform this operation.

For vPFM devices are currently linked to a vehicle:

  1. Power the system on, let it get to online or standby status in vMC
    1. Navigate to the "Devices” page to see the vPFM's status:
      nav to devices page
    2. The vPFM status will appear next to the device name
      Standby Status
  2. On the vPFM's page tap “Uninstall," to decouple the device from the vehicle
    Uninstall
  3. Once the vPFM is decoupled from the vehicle, on the vPFM's page —> expand the Organization drop down, and move the device to “new” Account
    Organization Selection
  4. Navigate to the “new” account and verify that the device has migrated over to it.
  5. Assign it to the new virtual tractor in the new account

 

If the device was not originally linked to a virtual tractor, then skip step 2.
