With this app, you can not only capture your security seals in seconds, but also simultaneously collect other information related to your work procedures and further process all data digitally and securely without delay. SEAL CAPTURE “Standard” offers the necessary features to record security seals and process information easily, quickly and securely.
The security seals are assigned to your smartphone via QR code per package without requiring any complicated set-up or password. For this purpose, you receive a new QR code for the administrator and another QR code for any number of employees for each security seal package.
These QR codes not only assign the seals to you and your co-workers, but also activate the data encryption for the electronic handover. With the QR code for the users, you determine who is allowed to capture your seals and which package is activated.
You only have to set up the adaptation to your work processes once.
Activate administrator mode
Your smartphone can now be used to set up SEAL CAPTURE, the admin activation for the displayed security seals was successful. Start the setup by tapping “Settings“
1. Create form
With SEAL CAPTURE it is possible to enter data in one step or additionally with a second step. By default, one step (= one data entry form) is activated.
One step means that after you and your staff have captured seals and possibly additional data, the information is transmitted and the process of capturing is completed.
Two steps means that the process of capturing provides for a second reading of the seal. This allows you to record different information at different times and also by different staff.
2. Set up the form
Next, the form will be created. This is the screen that will later be displayed to the operators after the seal has been scanned. First give the form a name and then press “Save”.
Then you determine which information is to be captured. All information concerning the seal is always recorded automatically (seal number, seal type, seal colour). In addition, the date and time are always automatically captured. You do not have to set up any input options for this information.
The following options are available as input tools for each form:
3. Add Yes/No switch
First set up the Yes/No switches. The first switch is mandatory for every form.
With the second switch, you decide whether it should be presented or not.
Tip:
Yes/No buttons are the most efficient way to enter data, as the entry is very quick and no typos or spelling mistakes may occur. Try to cover your processes with these switches as often as possible.
Next, assign a title for the first switch and press “Save”. This is the Information after which the switch appears in the entry mask.
Do you want to set up a second switch? Then activate switch 2 and assign the title again that you want to be displayed later in the input mask next to the switch. If you do not want to use a second switch, leave switch 2 deactivated. Then press “Save” again.
4. Add text input fields
Just as with the buttons, you can now create up to two text input fields. These text fields do not have to be used and you can deactivate their use entirely. If you do activate them, however, you must enter a title. This appears later in the input mask above the text input field.
Now press “Save”.
If you want to set up a second text input field, proceed as you did with the first text field and enter a title.
Then press “Save” again.
5. Activate photo feature
Would you like to add a photo while capturing the seal? Then activate the photo field and assign a title here again. This is the text that will appear later in the input mask next to the note “Add photo”.
Finally, press “Save” again.
You have now set up all the input options.
6. Set up data transmission
The next steps are about when and how you want to submit the data. The data will be sent to you by email by SEAL CAPTURE “Standard”. Enter a suitable email address for this purpose.
Tip:
Use an email inbox that is accessible to several employees so that the data can always be processed immediately.
7. Select data format
Next, please select the preferred data output format. CSV is very common and can, among other things, be opened and further processed immediately with all spreadsheet applications (e.g. Excel).
If you initially set up processing in two steps, then another button is available. Here you can determine whether the data from the first input form should be sent immediately, before the second step takes place.
Press “Save” to proceed to the last step of the setup.
8. Time of data transmission
Finally, you determine the time of the data transmission. This can take place immediately after data collection or at a time of your choice.
Press “Save” again to finish.
Tip:
If you capture several security seals daily with SEAL CAPTURE, you can set a time to receive a cumulative report of all seals captured up to that point instead of receiving individual emails.
Congratulations.
SEAL CAPTURE is now ready for your work processes.
If you activate a new security seal package via QR code after all the seals have been used, SEAL CAPTURE will offer you this form configuration again. If you want everything to remain as it was previously set up, you can continue working immediately and without interruption. As an administrator, you can of course make modifications at any time.
