Setting up the application

Before the application is fully functional, you need to modify the asset URLs on the QR code page, configure the Import new assets from Excel button on the Complete assets overview page, and optionally modify the theme to ensure optimal use of the application.

Modifying the asset URLs

To gain access to the asset detail reports, you first need to modify the asset URLs to use your personal system instead of the default slc-h79-g04.skyline.local system.

  1. Click the hamburger button in the top-left corner to fully expand the sidebar.

  2. Select QR code.

    A page with a table component listing all asset URLs is displayed.
