Understand TAKE, MOVE, and RETURN

Updated 2026-10-07

What to do

Each action leaves a record of the tool, person, place, and time.

1. Before scanning, check that a manager has enrolled the field device and that the receiving worker is signed in with their own PIN. A QR label identifies the tool; it does not sign the worker in.
2. Confirm the tool name and asset code against the physical item. Use TAKE for an available tool, choose the real starting location, and submit the handoff.
3. Use MOVE while a tool is checked out to record a change of holder or location. Confirm the destination with the crew rather than assuming the previous location is still correct.
4. Use RETURN when the item is handed back. Select the return location and check that the current holder is cleared and the new event appears in history.
5. If the request fails or its result is unclear, inspect the current state and latest history before retrying. Ask a manager to review a conflicting record; earlier events remain in history.
6. Report damage or a missing item separately, then lock or switch the worker session before handing the device to someone else.
