This function is for Users to preform Inventory check by scanning Assets codes. The codes are specially made bar codes or QR-codes on stickers put on each Asset. The Asset is then linked to a CI post in the CMDB via an inventory number. This procedure is done to keep track of…
•…what assets exist and what status they have.
•…where a specific asset physically resides.
Practically the scan is done either by using the photo function on a mobile phone or an Android based device with laser scan.
Before you can start scanning a NSP administrator must have created a scan session where you are set as responsible. Here the administrator scan set a number of default values that are given to all assets scanned in that particular session. An example if you are to scan a number of assets that are to be decommissioned standard value for Status is set to “Disposed”.
