The serial number of the object often plays an important role for colleagues from the IT department. You can save time when recording the serial number. Instead of entering everything manually via the app, you can simply scan in the serial number.

Note

that you have already created a text field with the designation 'Serial number' in the inventory manager and:

  • set the field in the app as visible and editable

  • Here we show you how to create a new field and make the settings for it.

And this is how it works:

  • Open the app and log in.

  • Open your asset via the search function or by simply scanning it.

  • Click on the scan-symbol in the corresponding field.

  • The camera now opens and you can scan the serial number of your asset.

Important:

In order to scan the serial number the serial number will have to be a QR-Code, barcode or data matrix code.
