### **Step-by-step guide**

1.  If you are a multi-venue operator, make sure you have selected the correct venue from the venue list at the top of your Workspace
2.  Navigate to the Lockteq section on the left-hand side of the screen.
3.  Select 'Create new code' in the top right-hand side of the screen.
4.  When the pop-up appears, select the code type, enter a nickname for the new code, and select the device you'd like to create the code for.
5.  Enter your 4 digit-code or allow the software to generate a new code randomly. Yo*u'll  need to create a unique 4 digit code that isn't currently being used.*
6.  Select 'Create' to confirm the code.
7.  You can optionally then choose either email or SMS to then send this code to the user/hirer.
8.  You can search for an existing customer, or add a new customer.
9.  Select 'close and send' to complete the action. Your hirer should now have received a new code and be able to access your facility.
