    Mobile bar-code scanning

    Use the camera on your mobile device to scan bar-codes into your instance using mobile applications.

    Multi-scan bar-code scanning

    Use multi-scan to scan multiple bar-codes sequentially without leaving the scanning interface. Input information for your assets faster than manual entry or individual scans. After scanning in multiple bar-codes, users can review a list of their scanned items.

    Multi-scan interface

    Grouped bar-code scanning

    Use grouped bar-code scanning to scan multiple bar-codes and group them into a set. For example, a single item that has an asset number, serial number, and model number. You can configure a button to use grouped inputs to accept multiple bar-code scans.

    Group scan interface

    Supported barcode types

    The ServiceNow mobile apps for iOS and Android support scanning the following barcode types:
    • 1D barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code-39, Code-93, Code-128, ITF, Codabar (Android only)
    • 2D barcodes: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF-417, AZTEC

    Zebra scanning devices

    The Android version of ServiceNow mobile apps can be used with most Zebra scanning devices. The scanner works only when the Zebra device camera is off. In the app, when the cursor is in a QR/Barcode input field, the scanner outputs the results. Users can modify the barcode output to include a return/enter string at the end of each scan with other apps, such as DataWedge.

    • QR codes scanning in mobile

      Log in to an instance or track your assets with a quick scan from your mobile device.

    • Multi-scan for mobile applications

      Use multi-scan to quickly scan multiple barcodes or groups of codes. With multiscan, you can input information for your assets faster than manual entry or individual scans.

    • Configure a grouped input for multiple scans

      Enable your users to scan several barcodes sequentially. Users can scan barcodes without leaving the scanning interface when you configure a grouped input. You can configure grouped inputs on buttons to accept multiple barcode scans.
