Understanding the Difference:
Barcodes & QR Codes: Standard scannable patterns that encode information like serial numbers or reference IDs.
bSecure Stickers: Enhanced QR codes that work within the Uptick app and can also be scanned by anyone with a standard QR reader to view limited public information (like compliance status and service dates) without exposing sensitive business data.
Best way to identify an asset or property
There are three ways to put a scannable code on an asset, property or logbook.
Order bSecure stickers from Uptick. Roll of UptickID label stickers supplied by the Uptick Support team and charged as a once off to your subscription.
Request bSecure codes and print your own stickers. Uptick provides the codes at no charge and you arrange the design and printing with your own supplier. See bSecure below.
Use the Barcode field on an asset. Apply your own barcode or QR code stickers and scan them into the Barcode field. Nothing needs to be ordered from Uptick.
A bSecure sticker can also be scanned by anyone with a standard QR reader to view limited public information such as compliance status and service dates. A code stored in the Barcode field is recognised only inside the Uptick mobile app.
To attach a code once you have it, see Mobile App: Attach Barcodes, QR Codes and bSecure Stickers.

Can I use my own barcodes instead of bSecure stickers?
Can I use my own barcodes instead of bSecure stickers?
Yes. Assets and classic logbooks have a Barcode field that accepts any supported barcode or QR code, so you can use stickers you have printed yourself or codes already on the equipment. In the Uptick mobile app, scan the code into the field or enter it using Manually Edit. Scanning is not available from the desk view.
A code stored in the Barcode field is recognised only inside the Uptick mobile app. It does not display public information when scanned with a standard QR reader.
