How can I upload my barcodes?

Once you physically labeled your equipment, you know which code belongs to which piece of equipment. The next step is to add your codes to your inventory system.

By import 

When preparing your CSV file for import, you can add an extra column that contains your items' existing barcodes.

  • Go to Items

  • Click the Import button in the top right corner

  • Upload your CSV file and make sure one of your columns contains your barcodes (between 3 and 24 alphanumeric characters)

  • Indicate if your spreadsheet has labels as the first row

  • Map the columns you want to import, or ignore them

  • Click Next

  • Fix any import errors and check warnings

  • Click Start import

Manually

  • Click Items, then select an Item

  • Go to the Info tab

  • On the right you can remove the QR code already generated by Cheqroom and choose to add code

  • Scan your barcode by using the free mobile app or a bluetooth scanner

With our Mobile App

  • Click on the dropdown icon in the top-left corner

  • Click Items, then select an Item

  • Go to the Info tab at the bottom of the screen

  • Remove the QR code already generated by Cheqroom and choose to add code

  • Scan your barcode
