Mobile: Scanning Barcodes
Scanning barcodes using a mobile device connects physical assets to their digital records. Each barcode links to a value stored in the barcode field. Scanning supports multiple use cases: finding assets in the system, verifying asset details during audits, reprinting damaged barcodes, and confirming that barcodes have been set up correctly. The mobile app reads the barcode and retrieves the matching asset, eliminating the need for manual searches or data entry.
Prerequisites
Add a barcode field to the asset collection.
Assign a unique value in the barcode field for each asset.
Generate and print barcodes using the barcode generator.
Attach printed barcode labels to physical assets.
Install the Asset Panda mobile app on a mobile device and sign in.
