Editing Barcode Values

This document provides an overview on how to set or remove a barcode value of an asset or asset component in the Metrix Asset Management system. Please note that in order to modify barcode values, the user must have the appropriate permissions set.

To set the barcode value for an asset or component:

  1. Navigate to the desired asset or component and select the basic info panel.

  2. Within the info panel ‘Identification’ section, details pertaining to any current barcode value assignment is shown. If no value has been assigned, this will be empty.

    Hovering over the barcode value will render a preview of the barcode

  3. To assign a barcode value (where one has not previously been assigned), click ‘Add Barcode Link’.

    Note: If the asset or component has a previously assigned barcode value, this will need to be removed/unlinked first.

  4. A panel will slide out asking for the value of the barcode to link to the active asset or component. Enter the value within this text entry.

  5. The panel will validate the supplied barcode value. If the value is NOT valid, the ‘Save (Immediatley)’ button will be disabled - follow the prompts to ‘repair’ the entered value.

  6. To save the new barcode value, click ‘Save (Immediately)’. Note; this change (as inferred) does NOT go via the staged changes process. Rather, the link will occur immediatley.

To remove the barcode value for an asset or component:
