This feature provides a mobile-friendly way to scan a barcode or QR code and create or update Asset records in Salesforce. Powered by a Salesforce Flow, it allows you to guide users through scanning, reviewing, and saving asset data in a streamlined experience. The included Flow is delivered as a template that can be cloned and customized to fit your requirements.

### How It works

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Open the **Scan & Create Asset **page in the Salesforce mobile app.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Scan a barcode or QR code using your device camera. Unaric Scan will check for an existing Asset record: 

- If a match is found → the record can be updated 
- If no match is found → a new record is created 
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Review and complete any required fields and save the record.
