About the Asset scan template
The Asset Scan template lets you quickly view an asset without making changes
to it. When you scan the barcode of an asset, you can see all information on that
asset. To make changes to the asset, click Edit on the bottom of the page.
If you scan an asset that is unknown, no information is displayed. If you select
Create new asset on unknown barcode and scan an unknown asset, the New Asset
screen opens. From the New Asset screen you can create a new asset for the
unknown barcode.
Quick Scan template options
The Quick Scan template lets you quickly scan your assets. When you scan an
asset it is automatically updated.
You can search and edit according to the following options:
■
Name
■
Barcode
■
Location
■
Status
■
Cost Center
■
Owners
■
Manufacturer
■
Model
■
Comment
You can use this template when your assets have changed location. After the
assets have been physically moved, you can use Quick Scan to scan the new location
and all assets at that location. You can do this procedure by scanning Location
barcode and then scanning all of the assets at that Location.
For example, consider the following scenario:
If each office on a floor has both a location barcode and an owner barcode then
you know the following information about an asset:
■
The location barcode tells you which floor the asset is located on.
■
The owner barcode tells you the owner of the office.
To scan all assets on the floor, you can begin at an office and scan the location
barcode. The Location field autopopulates. Then select the correct status from
