Check Assets In and Out

Scan an equipment tag to check it out to yourself or check it back in, so JobsiteOn always knows who has each asset and where it is.

What this guide covers

Custody tracking tells you who has a piece of equipment at any moment. This guide explains how to check equipment out and back in by scanning its tag, and what each status means.

This is different from jobsite check-in, which confirms that crew and equipment have arrived at a specific job. For that, see Run Jobsite Check-in from the Web.

Understand asset status

Each piece of equipment shows one of these states:

Check an asset out

  1. Open Scan a tag (/scan).
  2. Point your camera at the equipment's QR tag. If your browser can't use the camera, paste the label's QR URL and click Resolve tag.
  3. When the asset card appears, click Check out to me.

The equipment is now in your custody, and the action is recorded in its scan history with the time and method.

If you allow location access when prompted, the scan also updates the asset's last known location, so it appears in the right place on Live Maps (/live) and on its asset record. Denying location access never blocks the check-out — the custody change still goes through.

Note: Checking equipment out is available to owners, admins, and managers.

Check an asset back in

  1. Open Scan a tag (/scan) and scan the same tag.
  2. On the asset card, click Check in.

The equipment returns to Available so the next person can take it. With location access allowed, the check-in also records where the asset was returned.

Tip: After a scan resolves, click Open asset record → to jump to the asset's page under Assets (/assets). The record shows its Last Known Location with a View on live map link, plus every check-out and return in its activity.

Check out and in from your phone

The JobsiteOn mobile app scans the same QR and NFC tags. Open the scanner, scan the equipment tag, and choose to check it out or back in — the result syncs instantly with the web app.
