Mobile Scanning to Update Location or Status

Each asset is assigned a unique QR or Barcode that will be automatically generated based on the unique Serial Numbers. The QR or Barcode feature is most useful when there needs to be immediate action taken towards specific assets. QR codes or barcodes can also be exported as PDFs in custom sizes, making them easy to print and attach to physical assets located around the premises.

Scanning Asset QR / Barcodes


Path: Bottom Bar > Scan


What Can You Do With Scanning?

  • Start a Checklist – Launch inspection or maintenance forms linked to the asset.

  • Create a Job Order – Quickly raise a job with asset info pre-filled.

  • Input New Logs – Record updated meter readings.

  • Initiate a Transfer – Move the asset to a new location or bin.

Use the scanner within the mobile application to easily move assets and transfer to different locations, or sites.

Asset Transfer

Path: Bottom Bar > Scan > Asset > Transfer

  • Scan the QR or Barcode of the asset you want to transfer.

  • Select Transfer from the list of options.

  • Choose the source and destination bin or location.

  • Review and confirm the transfer details.

  • Tap Save to complete the asset transfer.

Assess and Update Asset Health

Start a checklist using the checklist feature to capture and answer questions about the asset’s health, and easily update its status once the questions are completed.

Asset Checklist

Path: Bottom Bar > Scan > Asset > Checklist

  • Scan the asset’s QR or Barcode using the in-app scanner.

  • Select Checklist from the list of actions.

  • Choose the checklist to generate for that asset.

  • Answer each question based on your inspection or task.

  • Submit the checklist once complete.

If any responses fall outside the acceptable threshold (e.g. a failed item or critical issue), FieldEx will automatically generate a Job Order to address the problem.

Why This Matters


  • Enables fast, error-free identification of assets in the field.

  • Simplifies job creation, checklist execution, and condition tracking.

  • Ensures asset location and logs are updated in real time.

  • Reduces manual data entry and improves technician productivity.
