Scan Code

If your NEXUS database has a field (such as an asset information field) configured to contain an asset tag, you can affix QR codes or bar codes to your physical assets, then scan them in IC-Inspector.

Prerequisites

To use this functionality, the following configuration must have been made in NEXUS IC:

  1. A field must be available in an asset information group (AIG), where the QR code or bar code can be assigned to a specific asset.

  2. This specific field must have been assigned to the usage Asset - Tag under Configuration ‣ Assets ‣ Features. For more information, see Configure Features.

Process

To scan a code, proceed as follows:

  1. Tap Scan code, then point the iPad’s camera at the QR code or bar code.

  2. If the code is found in your NEXUS database, and IC-Inspector currently has one or more tasks for that asset, you can see the asset name that matches this code at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap the asset name to see its list of tasks.

  4. Select tasks from the list as required.

Note

You can use the buttons at the top of the screen as follows:

  • To display the actual QR or bar code, tap the i info button.

  • To scan another code, tap Continue.

  • To cancel scanning and go back to the task list, tap Cancel.
