BIM 360 Field Barcodes: Using Barcodes to Track Equipment
BIM 360 Field Barcodes: Using Barcodes to Track
Equipment
A barcode can
be scanned using the barcode scanner feature within BIM 360 Field for
the iPad and associated with a project record. Once this association has
occurred, that record or set of records will appear each time
that barcode is scanned. Please note that when a barcode is
associated in this manner, the setting will not appear visible anywhere within
the BIM 360 Field application.
STEP 1: Select Equipment from hamburger menu and open the piece of equipment you will be linking to a barcode.
STEP 2: Tap on the Gadgets button,
the button that is second from the left on the bottom of the screen, and tap on Barcode Scanner.
STEP 3: Scan a barcode.
STEP 4: After the barcode is scanned,
a Map Code window will appear that will present the user with
a list of options from which to choose. The list of items that will appear will
be items that were recently visited on the iPad. Tap on the equipment name to link
the barcode with that record.
STEP 5: Sync to have the changes uploaded into
BIM 360 Field. Once completed all
project team members can scan this bar code for a short cut to the equipment
item.
