WeatherTRAK Activation Processes

Updated May 12, 2026 4 min read

Purpose

This article contains all the activation process articles necessary to successfully activate a new controller, activate a controller that's replacing another one, reactivate a controller, deactivate a controller, and complete the transfer and replace process in NetSuite and WeatherTrak.net.  

Important!

Depending on the activation scenario you are working on, you will need to use multiple if not almost all of the articles in this resource.  Use the decision tree below to assist you. If you are not sure, don't guess, reach out to Tier 2 or your supervisor.

It's critical that we confirm every bit of information entered is correct and copied in both WeatherTrak.net and NetSuite as multiple teams within the company will utilize it for many important processes. It also effects the integrity of the controller's data, who can access it, and it's warranty.

Activations for "The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints" aka "The Church": Scott Dezotell (account manager) Or Michelle Lorimer (contact for UTAH Churches ONLY.) Have specific naming convention requirements and user acct. access standards. Please consult with Scott on any new activation naming uncertainties.
