Where are QR and barcodes used?

Service object

When you add a new service object, a QR code is automatically created for the service object and shown on the service object record.

Condition: That the Module setting – Service object setting “Show QR for service objects” is selected. Requires admin permissions.

Articles

When you enter a new article, a QR code is automatically created in the article register. You can also create barcodes for articles. The QR and barcodes are not visible on an item record.

Condition: That you have selected on or more allowed codes in the Module settings – Article settings. If none are selected, the function is not displayed.
Requires admin permission. See more under Information for administrators.

Why QR and barcodes?

You can print the QR code and / or barcode and paste it on the service object or the article. QR code and barcode can be printed on the same label as desired.

When you make a delivery in Storage, you can print barcodes or QR code directly.

By scanning the code, with the camera in your mobile or webcam connected to your computer, you can:

  • be linked directly to the information about the service object.
  • add a service item to a service order by clicking Add Service Item and scanning the code. All information about the item is then retrieved to the order.
  • create a new work order and add tasks by scanning the QR code on an existing service object. All information about the item is then retrieved to the order.
  • linked to or add items to an order.
    • If you read the code on the article and are signed in to the system, you will come to the article in the article register.
    • If you have opened an order while scanning, the item you scanned is added to the order.

Standards

Barcodes use different standards – UPC, EAN, etc. To see which standard you can print in, you can test by typing an article number in the Enter a test value field. Barcodes that do not support your item number / name will be marked in red.

Which standards are displayed depends on which settings you have made in scannable barcode formats in the Module settings – Article settings. See more info under Information for administrators below.

Alternate print function if printing code for one object

You can also click on the print symbol on an individual service object or article (see image 1) to print, but then you can not make any print settings.

If you want your company logo in the printout, the setting is made in the Group settings – Module settings – Edit Print settings. Requires the admin account.

QR VERIFICATION

QR verification is used to verify that a technician has been at the site of the service object. The technician scans the QR code on the object and information about time, technician and location is saved. The QR symbol on the service object in the system then changes color from red to green to indicate that the verification has been performed.

To enable this, special settings are required. Admin permissions are required to view the saved data. This feature is not currently in use. If you are interested in the function, please contact us.
