What You'll Learn

This guide shows you how to attach barcodes, QR codes, and bSecure stickers to assets, properties, and logbooks using the Uptick mobile app on iOS and Android devices. These scannable identifiers help you quickly locate and manage assets during inspections and maintenance work.

Before You Begin: Setup Requirements

You will need the bSecure module enabled in your Uptick workspace. If you don't see this option in your main menu, contact [email protected].

Required Permissions: Your security group must have these permissions enabled:

  • Can see all tasks

  • Can create assets

  • Can update and archive assets

  • Can create and update properties

Learn more about permissions and security groups.

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.

iOS Instructions

Attach Barcodes, QR Codes or bSecure to an Asset (iOS)

  1. Add a new asset or find an existing asset

  2. Open the asset and navigate to the Edit Asset tab

  3. Under bSecure or Barcode, tap either Scan or Manually Edit

  4. Tap Save in the top right corner

What gets displayed when scanned: When someone scans a bSecure sticker on an asset, they'll see: photo, asset type, location, service history, active remarks, and expected lifecycle.

Filter Assets by Scanning Codes (iOS)

  1. Open a task and navigate to the Work or Products tab

  2. Tap the Barcode scanner icon in the bottom left corner

  3. Scan the barcode, QR code, or bSecure sticker

Note: The barcode scanner filters only assets listed on that specific task. To search all assets on the property, go to the Work tab, tap View all assets, then scan.

Attach bSecure to a Property (iOS)

  1. View the property within your task

  2. Tap bSecure Scan Sticker
