The serial number of the object often plays an important role for colleagues from the IT department. You can save time when recording the serial number. Instead of entering everything manually via the app, you can simply scan in the serial number.   --- **Note** that you have already created a **text field** with the designation '**Serial number**' in the inventory manager and: - set the field in the app as visible and editable - [**Here**](https://support.seventhings.com/en/how-do-i-create-new-object-fields?hsLang=en) we show you how to create a new field and make the settings for it. ### This is how it works:   1\. Open the app and log in 2\. Make a **pre-selection** of the location and room where you are located If you want to know how to make a preselection, click **[here](https://support.seventhings.com/en/how-can-i-select-the-location-in-the-app?hsLang=en)**.   3\. **Open the object** for which you wish to scan the serial number. - either, you take a **new object** or - you **edit an object** that has already been recorded in the app 4\.
