How-To
Once you have physical QR tags, what happens next depends on how they were set up when issued:
If a tag is already linked to a specific Bin or Equipment, it's ready to go: just scan it and you'll be taken straight to that item's page. No action needed from you.
If a tag was only assigned to your account (not yet linked to a specific item), you'll need to finish that last step yourself:
-
Scan the tag with your phone (or visit its assign link directly).
-
You'll land on Link QR Tag. Choose whether it's going on a Bin or Equipment.
-
Select which one from the dropdown.
-
Click Link Tag. From now on, scanning that tag will take you straight to that item.
FAQ
How do I know which situation I'm in? Just scan the tag. If it's already linked, you'll land directly on the Bin or Equipment page. If it still needs linking, you'll land on the Link QR Tag screen instead.
Why don't I see any Bins or Equipment to choose from? You need the relevant permission: Manage Yards/Bins to link a tag to a Bin, Manage Equipment to link one to Equipment. A staff account restricted to specific Yards or Equipment will also only see items within that restriction.
I linked a tag to the wrong item. Can I fix it myself? Not currently. Moving a tag to a different Bin or Equipment has to go through the Binstor team for now. Reach out and we'll get it corrected.
A tag shows "not available to assign" or "already been claimed." That means the tag has already been linked to something, or isn't currently assigned to your account. Reach out if that seems wrong for a tag you have in hand.
