Repeat the proceeding steps for all locations and assets to be scanned.
In many situations, you need to enter data for more than the identity barcode
using the barcode device. If you deploy a new asset to a user, you might want to
use the barcode device to quickly enter data. Data can include the assigned location,
department, and cost center along with the identity. To speed up data entry and
reduce data entry errors, you can create a sheet of barcodes for the frequently
entered data.
You can use your barcode device to scan the barcode for the applicable department.
On Barcoder, the only fields which are ready to accept a barcode scan are colored
gray or they will show an orange vertical bar on the left of the field when it is
focused. These grayed fields have a picker icon located to the right of the field.
The only exception is the Barcode field under the Barcode tab on the Asset Edit
screen.
One suggestion for creating a barcode sheet is to use a spreadsheet. In the
spreadsheet, use the first column to describe the barcode value and the next
column for the barcode value. The barcode MUST be in the form *XXXXXXX*,
where the X's represent alphanumeric text and the *'s must begin and end the
barcode. You can type the barcode value by using a font you can read. You can
then highlight the barcode column and change the font to a supported barcode
font.
After you complete the sheet with the desired barcodes, print the sheet and keep
it close to your barcode device. When data about an asset needs to be scanned,you
can also scan the other information about the asset.
The sheet might include any of the picker controls that let you scan a barcode
directly.
