Once the barcodes, also known as QR Codes, are in place they are ready for scanning and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most devices include a barcode scanner on the camera by default, but if not, any \u201cBarcode\u201d or \u201cQR Code\u201d reader app will work. All these devices are supported out of the box. No extra hardware or software needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your device will need an internet connection. Any decent stable WiFi connection or mobile carrier will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scanning the Barcode or QR Code:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open the reader<\/strong> app on your device\n
      \n
    • This can be the camera with QR code reader built-in or any standalone, free, Barcode\/QR Code reader app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Allow the app to scan the code<\/strong> which will open the default browser on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Complete the Tasks<\/strong> listed, marking them as \u201cSAT\u201d, \u201cUNSAT\u201d, or \u201cNA\u201d if it is not applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Add \u201cNotes\u201d<\/strong> if needed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enter your \u201cEmployee ID Number\u201d<\/strong>, if not automatically populated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click \u201cSubmit\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can be done<\/strong> here, or proceed to upload an image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Top upload, click the \u201cUpload Image\u201d<\/strong> button<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click \u201cChoose File\u201d<\/strong>, this will open a dialog on your device\n
        \n
      • Take a new photo<\/strong> (this is the most common)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select an image from your device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Click \u201cUpload Image\u201d<\/strong> to send the image to the system and attach it to the scan\n
          \n
        • Alternatively, you can \u201cEmail Image\u201d to open your default email application. This will automatically add the Scan ID, record and image to an email with the correct destination email address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Once you receive the \u201cUpload Complete\u201d<\/strong> message, you are finished <\/strong>uploading and attaching the image to the scan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n
