Assign Barcode can be used to assign a barcode to an existing asset if the
serial number is known.
Normally, asset data is added through the Symantec Management Console and is
downloaded to the barcode device. As you perform barcoding functions, the asset
data is available for adding a barcode value or inventorying. If an asset has an
unknown barcode or if it does not have a barcode, you can add it with Barcoder.
To increase productivity, use Barcoder only to add enough information to uniquely
identify an asset. You can then use the Symantec Management Console to add the
remaining data.
When you add new assets to the asset database, you can save time by preparing
barcodes ahead of time. For example you can create barcodes for the name of the
company and for common assets. You can then select the appropriate field and
scan the value into the field rather than keying it in to save time and errors. If
you regularly add certain computer models, you can create barcodes for your
company, the computer company, and the models you buy. You can then scan the
values into the appropriate fields.
You can add a new asset with the barcode device in one of the following screens:

Owner Scan
