Article Summary

The Turn In screen is used to turn in assets that have been previously assigned to staff or students. The screen is optimized for use with barcode scanners which streamlines the turn in process.

Barcode Templates help the user be able to scan and turn in assets in a timely fashion without having to take your hand off to use the mouse. You can scan the barcodes on the template to determine if you are turning in assets using the Held By and Assigned to fields or just the Held By field only. When you scan a barcode it should automatically Tab to the next field, but if your scanner isn't automatically tabbing to the next field then you can scan the Tab barcode to do so. After scanning the desired behavior such as Held By and Assigned to barcode during the turn in process, it automatically Submits for you instead of you having to Submit manually by clicking it.

Note: A laser printer is ideal for printing Barcode Templates.

On the Turn In screen, click the Templates button in the upper right hand corner.

This will drop down a list of barcode template options for you to choose from. In most cases when you're turning in assets, you will want the template Held By and Assigned PDF unless you want to update Held By only.

Once you've clicked the template you want to use, it should download and you will be able to see it at the bottom of your screen. Once you've opened the file you can print the template from there.

So when using the Barcode Template to turn in assets, the process should go like this:

  1. Scan the Asset barcode
  2. Scan the Location barcode
  3. Scan the Held By and Assigned to barcode

Once you've scanned the Held By and Assigned to barcode it should automatically turn in the asset for you and you can move on to the next one.
