By scanning your objects, you assign them an actual room and actual location. So you know exactly where each object is. In order for the app to assign a location when scanning, you have to select the room in which you are currently located.

And this is how it works:
Open the app and log in
Navigate to the 3rd icon in the navigation bar - scan mode
Now click on Your Selection: Actual room
Here you have the option of selecting the location and then the room.
Note:
If you are using room labels, you can scan them when you enter the room. This tells the app which room you are in - that way you have chosen a preselection.
You can find more information about room labels here: How do I use room labels?
Important:
If you cannot find your desired location or room, it may not be activated for you. Please contact your system admin. You can find out more about access restrictions here: How I can assign users permission to access certain rooms and locations?
