Creating a New IoT Device Record

1. Open the App Launcher and select the Maps Live IoT Devices tab. If you do not see the Maps Live IoT Devices tab, you may need to create a Salesforce Custom Object Tab for the Maps Live IoT Device object.

2. Click New to create a new Maps Live IoT Device record.

3. Populate the Maps Live IoT Device fields below with information from each of your IoT Devices:

  • Maps Live IoT Device Name: The unique identifier for the IoT Device
  • Device Vendor: The vendor for the IoT Device, such as Geotab.
    • Note: The Device Vendor for Salesforce Maps Mobile users is "Maps Live Tracking: Mobile".
  • Device ID: The unique identifier for the IoT Device. The values for Name and Device ID may be the same.
    • Note: The Device ID for Salesforce Maps Mobile users is located on their User record. The field name is "maps__DeviceId__c" and can be added to the Page Layout for visibility. 

4. Click Save to save the Maps Live IoT Device record.

5. Repeat this process for each additional Maps Live IoT Device record. For large lists of IoT Devices, Salesforce System Administrators may also perform a bulk upload using the Salesforce Data Import Wizard.
