Scanning barcodes or NFC tags allows your team to quickly and accurately populate fields in Dashpivot forms with specific data, such as job numbers, asset IDs, or location details. Instead of manually typing long strings of numbers or codes, users can simply scan and auto-fill the field with the correct value.
Example use cases
A fabrication team scanning a job number barcode to instantly populate a checklist field
Maintenance crews scanning the barcode on an asset to pull up its unique ID
Site supervisors scanning NFC tags installed on doors, vehicles, or equipment to confirm inspections or checks
