Introduction

Scan any popular code format using a device camera to search for the corresponding object in the system database. The identified object will be displayed on the screen, allowing you to quickly preview and edit it, or locate it within the complete structure.

The system supports most QR codes and barcodes (refer to the Supported Formats section below for a full list).

You don't need specific QR codes; you can reuse existing ones as long as the code property (such as a number, text, or GUID) from the code is stored in one of the metadata fields of the object. The system can search any metadata field to match the object.

Open

Configuration

No special configuration is required. The scanner will read the text property from the code (which can be any text, GUID, or numeric code) and attempt to search for that code based on the current Quick Search configuration. Therefore, the value present in the code should be stored as a metadata property on the object.

Please note that if the code is not unique, meaning multiple objects are matched, only the first match will be shown.

Scanning Process

To initiate a scanning process, simply select the "SCAN" function from the main dashboard.

Open

 In case you are prompted, kindly grant the application permission to access your camera. This access is necessary for scanning the code. 

Simply position the detection frame over the code and patiently wait for the "vibration" that will confirm the completion of the scan:

Although the scanner is highly sensitive, it may need more light in challenging lighting conditions. You can activate the "flashlight" function using the flashlight icon if necessary.

To cancel the scan, simply use the X button.

Processing Scanned Code

Upon recognizing the code, a search panel will be displayed. Upon completion of the search, a status indicating a successful match will be shown.

The object type and label are also displayed:

In case the code value was not found in the system, a fail status will be shown:

There are two options available:

• Quick View

• Locate

A quick view will display a popup with object metadata:

Locate function will attempt to display the object in either a tree view or a list view,

depending on the class of the object and its availability (some object types might be available only in the list view)

Supported formats

Scan function support variety of QR codes and barcodes:

Scanner will not recognize the following types of code:

• 1D Barcodes with only one character

• Barcodes in ITF format with fewer than six characters

• Barcodes encoded with FNC2, FNC3 or FNC4

• QR codes generated in the ECI mode
