2. Click ‘+ Import collars‘ in the upper-right corner of the screen
3. When the dialog box opens, click Select Collar Keys

• In the file browser window, navigate to your collar key files, select them, click ‘Open‘ and review the list of selected collar keys.

4. Choose your desired user role
5. Then click Confirm to send a permission request

Why do I need to send this permission request?

In addition to the key files, collar access is now directly approved by assigned collar owners or VECTRONIC. This keeps the data safe and ensures only authorized users are able to view all collar information. Learn more about user roles

Accept the permission request

Collar Owners and Device Managers will receive a notification via email and within INVENTA, allowing them to either accept or deny the request.

1. Click the bell icon
2. Decide whether you want to accept or deny the permission request
