Barcode: Purpose and Introduction
 

Consider a scenario when a new set of assets are purchased to a company. The asset details need to be updated in the ServiceDesk Plus application, which can be done through several ways such as manually adding the assets through add asset page, or through scanning/CSV import, or through API. All of which can be done only when the assets are established/installed/named in the environment. With the introduction of the Barcode feature you can now add the newly procured asset details to the ServiceDesk Plus application by scanning the vendor barcodes or by generating new barcodes and associating them with the assets so that one can track the assets right after they enter the environment.
