When to Use This

  • New equipment intake — IT receives a batch of new laptops or medical devices. Tech scans each barcode and taps the floor plan to record its staging location before deployment.
  • Initial inventory build — A new facility has a floor plan uploaded but no asset records yet. Tech walks every room, scans each device, and places a pin on the map. Admin assigns zone names from the dashboard later.
  • Post-renovation relayout — A wing was renovated and equipment was moved around. Tech walks the updated layout placing assets at their new positions to reset stale records.
  • Spot-placing a new asset mid-round — During normal rounds, tech finds a device that isn’t in the system. They switch to Scan & Place, pin it to the map, and continue their round without breaking flow.
You don’t need to know room names to place assets — tap the location on the map and an admin will assign the zone name from the dashboard later.

​
How to Place an Asset

  1. From the home screen, tap Place Assets
  2. Select a floor
  3. Tap Scan & Place and scan the asset barcode (or use your hardware trigger)
  4. The floor plan enters tap mode — tap where the asset is
  5. A pin appears. Repeat for the next asset.

What Happens If an Asset Isn’t in the Roster?

If a scanned barcode isn’t in the asset roster, Forager creates a minimal record for it automatically. An admin can fill in the name, type, and other details later.
