Demo user account

Create a limited-rights demo user account, clone trackers into it, and share it via the login page or a direct link to showcase the platform

A demo user account is an account that you can share with potential or existing customers to showcase your product's features. This account has limited rights to prevent customers from making changes to critical settings. For instance, features such as output control, device and sensor configuration, and data forwarding are disabled.

How to create a demo user

Follow these steps to create and configure a demo user account:

1

Create a new user

Navixy recommends creating a specific demo user and cloning devices from other accounts into it. This allows for full operation with original devices. To create a demo user, enter a random email address. A real address isn't required.

Create tracker clones

Navixy recommends cloning devices from existing accounts for the demo user account. Select specific devices that you can safely show to potential or existing customers to avoid any misunderstandings. To clone devices, navigate to the Trackers page and select the necessary devices. Then click Clone selected trackers in the toolbar.

Alternatively, if only one tracker is selected, you can click Create clone in the right side panel.
