1

Scan or look up the asset

Open Scan and scan the OrbitEquip QR or use Type or Browse. Verify that the result shows the tool being returned.

Example phone-browser state where the browser cannot find a camera; Type and Browse remain available.
This scan result is ready for a check-out. The sample asset is synthetic.

Choose Check in

Select Check in on the asset result and confirm the action if asked. OrbitEquip records the return and closes the current assignment.

The example shows the current holder and the Check in action before submission. Sample data is synthetic.

Review the updated record

The result confirms Checked in. If the tool moved to a different storage place, have an Owner or Admin update its Location on the asset record.

Example asset detail header. QR artwork and account profile information are outside the crop.
