Transferring Hardware Between Accounts

This guide shows how to move a device, such as a Flex Logger, from the EXACT Portal account it is on now to another account. You start the transfer from the device's page, choose the new account, and confirm.

Only the device moves. The readings it has already recorded stay on the account it came from.

What happens after a transfer

The device

Is listed on the new account's Hardware page

Its historical data

Stays on the original account. It is not copied to the new account.

Elements on the original account

Show (M) after the device's serial number on every Element it was used in

Troubleshooting

I can't find Transfer on the device page

Only users with Level 3 access can transfer hardware. Ask your account administrator for Level 3 access, or ask a Level 3 user on the account to make the transfer.

The account I want isn't in the New Account list

You need Level 3 access on the account you are moving the device to as well as on the one it is on now. Check the spelling of the name you typed, then ask for Level 3 access on the new account if it still doesn't appear.

Transfer in the Transfer Hardware dialog is greyed out

No account is selected yet. Typing a name only filters the list. Select the account from the list and Transfer becomes available.

The device's older readings aren't on the new account

This is expected. Historical data stays on the account where it was recorded. Open the device's Elements on the original account to see it.

An Element shows (M) after a serial number

That device was moved to another account after it was used in this Element. The readings it recorded for the Element are still on this account.
