## 3. Managing Customers & Locations

The Customers page shows a searchable list of all customers.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Add a Customer:**

Within each customer's detail view, you can add locations:
|
|
|
|
- Click on a customer to expand their details
|
|

## 6. Settings & Configuration
|
|
|
|

|
## 7. Cantaloupe Data Sync
|
|
|
|
Navigate to **🔄 Sync** in the sidebar.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The Cantaloupe Sync page lets you import asset data from the Cantaloupe vending management system.
|
|
|
|
### How it Works
|
|
|
|
1. **Sync Now** button — Downloads the latest Excel export from Cantaloupe and creates a pending import batch
|
|
2. **Upload Excel File** — Manually upload a Cantaloupe Excel export file
|
|
3. **Review Changes** — Each batch shows new, changed, and removed assets with field-level diffs
|
|
4. **Approve** — Apply the changes to live data
|
|
5. **Reject** — Discard the batch
|
|
|
|
### Import History
|
|
|
|
The bottom section shows all past import batches with their status (PENDING / APPROVED / REJECTED / ERROR) and change summaries.
|
|

## 8. Activity Log & Reports
|
|
|
|
### Activity Log
|
|
|
|
Navigate to **📋 Activity** in the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
- Full chronological log of all actions (creates, updates, deletes, check-ins, logins)
|
|
- Filters: by user, action type, date range
|
|
- Uses pagination for large logs
|
|
|
|
### CSV Exports
|
|
|
|
Available at the bottom of the sidebar:
|
|
- **Export Assets** — Download all assets as CSV
|
|
- **Export Check-ins** — Download check-ins filtered by asset
|
|
|
|
### Database Reset
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ **Danger zone:** The **Reset Database** button in the sidebar footer deletes ALL data and reinitializes with defaults. Requires confirmation.
|

## 9. Tips & Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Cantaloupe Sync Fails
|
|
|
|
1. Check the credentials in the Cantaloupe downloader config
|
|
2. The server must have network access to mycantaloupe.com
|
|
3. Check the error message in the sync batch detail view
|
|
4. Try the **Upload Excel File** option as a fallback
|
|
|
|
### Admin Panel Not Loading
|
|
|
|
- Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on desktop, long-press refresh on mobile)
|
|
- Clear site data
|
|
- Check that both services are running (`canteen-main.service` and `canteen-admin.service`)
|
|
|
|
### Permissions
|
|
|
|
- You must be logged in as an **admin** role user to access the admin panel
|
|
- Technicians and readonly users cannot access the admin panel
|
|
- Session tokens expire after **1 day** (or **30 days** with "Remember me")
|
|

|
|
> **Note:** The admin panel shares the same database as the main app, so changes made here (customers, locations, geofences, settings) are immediately visible in the field app.
