Every item and place has a QR label. Scanning it tells you what it is and offers what you may do with it. What you see depends on who you are: the label itself grants nothing.
With your phone's camera
The label holds the address of Core's scan page. Point your phone's camera app at it and open the link. After you sign in, the page shows the item or place, with buttons from Asset Management and, where they run, from Service Desk and Facilities: for example Report a fault. See Scan a label to report a fault.
In Asset Management
- Choose Scan a label, from the menu or on Home.
- Do one of these:
- choose Use the camera and point it at the label (this button appears only in browsers that can read QR codes);
- under Or a photo of the label, take or choose a photo of it;
- under Or type the code, or what it is, type the code printed under the QR code, such as CO-TR1, or a word such as projector, then choose from the list or choose Look up.
- The result shows the item's Status and Where it is, or the place's Kind and Where it is.
What you can do from a scan
| Button | When you see it |
|---|---|
| Hire this | You may hire the item and it is free now. It says (needs approval) when an asset administrator must check your training first |
| Book it for later | You may hire it, but it is out now |
| Return it | You have hired it and it is with you |
| Issue, take back or move | You are a site operator or asset administrator |
| Details and history | You may read the register, as an auditor |
| What is here | For a place, if you may read the register |
| Count what is here | For a place, if you are a site operator or asset administrator |
If there is nothing for you to do, the scan says so: ask the site operator.
A label that no longer works
When an item gets a new label, or is disposed of, its old label stops working at once. Scanning it says the label was retired, or that the item has been disposed of. Use the label on the item.
