GreaseBoss Mobile App - Map Endpoints
Each Endpoint has its own serial number, printed with a QR code on the serial label on the Endpoint. Mapping links that Endpoint to its grease point in the GreaseCloud account, so the grease it measures is recorded against the right point.
This article covers mapping an Endpoint to a point in the GreaseBoss Mobile App, for example:
- mapping Endpoints after they are installed
- mapping an Endpoint to a new point
- fixing an Endpoint mapped to the wrong point
No Head Unit is needed. The app scans the QR code on the Endpoint itself.

Before Starting
- The Endpoint is assigned to the account. GreaseBoss assigns each Endpoint to the account. The app links an Endpoint that is already in the account to its point.
- The Endpoint is installed at the grease point. See Endpoint Installation Guides.
- The point exists in the account. If it doesn't, add it with the + button. See GreaseBoss Mobile App - Add, Edit and Delete Locations, Assets and Points.
- The point has a requirement. Each Endpoint point has a configured requirement that sets how much grease should be delivered and how often. Requirements can't be set in the app: set them in the GreaseCloud Dashboard. See Operational Guide - 4. Understanding Alerts.
- The app is open and signed in to the right account. See GreaseBoss Mobile App - Getting Started.
Map an Endpoint to a Point
- Open the point. Browse Location → Asset → Point and tap the point. To find it quickly, search for its asset with the magnifying glass, open the asset, then type part of the point name in the Find… box. The Edit panel opens. Check the point name matches the grease point the Endpoint is fitted to.
- Set Type to Endpoint. In the Type field, select Endpoint. The serial number field and its QR code button appear. The serial number field is a list of the Endpoints in the account that aren't mapped to a point yet.
- Tap the QR code button next to the serial number field. The phone camera opens with a scanning frame.
- Scan the QR code on the Endpoint's serial label. Line up the QR code inside the scanning frame. The app reads the code and fills in the serial number. In poor light, tap the flash button at the bottom of the scanner screen.
- Check the number. Make sure the serial number selected in the app matches the number printed on the label.
- Tap Save. The serial number is saved to the point on the device, and the point's yellow dot clears.
- Sync. Tap Sync (the round button with two arrows) to send the mapping to GreaseCloud. With no coverage, the mapping stays saved on the device: sync as soon as coverage returns.
QR code won't scan? If the label is dirty or damaged, tap the serial number field and select the Endpoint's serial number from the list, matching it to the number printed on the label. Check it before tapping Save.
Serial number not in the list, or the scan isn't accepted? The app only accepts Endpoints that aren't mapped yet. If the Endpoint is already mapped to another point, clear that point first (see below). Otherwise, the Endpoint may not be assigned to the account yet: contact support@greaseboss.com.au with the serial number from the label.
Check the Mapping
- Check the sync worked. Tap the person icon in the bottom bar and check the Last Synced date and time on the Profile screen.
- Check GreaseCloud. In the GreaseCloud Dashboard, confirm the point now shows the Endpoint's serial number.
Fix an Endpoint Mapped to the Wrong Point
- Clear the wrong point. Open the point the Endpoint was mapped to by mistake. In the serial number field, select No Serial Number, then tap Save.
- Map the right point. Open the correct point and map the Endpoint using the steps above. Once the wrong point is cleared, the Endpoint appears in the list again.
- Sync the app.
Tips
- Sync often. Many points can be mapped and synced together, but syncing regularly keeps the work safe.
- Take care with the bin icons. Each location, asset and point has a bin icon, which deletes that item from the account. See GreaseBoss Mobile App - Add, Edit and Delete Locations, Assets and Points.
