The Transactions tab allows the user to check items in and out to People. This person the asset is checked out to can be different than the person the asset is assigned to in the Details section of the asset record.
Check Out
To check an item out to a Person, go to the Check Out function under Transactions.
In the To field, select the Person the assets will be checked out to. People can be created and deleted in the Setup tab. If using a mobile barcode scanner, a Person ID barcode can also be scanned.
Next, enter the Asset ID of the first asset to be checked out and click the check mark to add it to the check out grid. If using a mobile barcode scanner or camera, scan the barcode of the first asset. If the mobile scanner is programmed to perform a carriage return after each scan, the asset will automatically be added to the grid. If using a mobile device with a camera, the camera can also scan a barcode by clicking on the icon.
Continue to scan any additional assets for this transaction.
Click the X next to the asset in the grid to remove it.
The total number of transacted assets will be displayed.
If desired, additional information about the transaction can be added in the Details tab. The detail fields include:

- Building - The Building to which the asset should be moved during the transaction.
- Room - The Room to which the asset should be moved during the transaction.
