Looking for help with AssetTiger?
First, make sure to contact your library administrator or our team (fairplaylibraries@gmail.com) and ask to become a library manager. Then, download the AssetTiger app on your phone and you’re ready to go!
1) Register a family:
Families who wish to use the library will need to be added as a registered user before an item can be checked out to them.
-
Open the AssetTiger app.
-
Press the menu icon in the upper left corner (three horizontal lines).
-
Press “Advanced” → “Persons/Employees.”
-
Press “+” in upper right corner.
-
Add the parent's name, phone number, and email.
-
Select your site name (e.g. OHO, Bill Wilkerson).
-
Press “Save” in upper right corner.
​
Congratulations! You've registered a family. You can now check out items to them.
2) Check-out an item:
We recommend scanning the items' barcodes, since this is the fastest way to check items in + out.
​
-
Open the Asset Tiger app.
-
Press “scan” from the menu on the bottom of the screen (it takes a second to load). (If this is your first time, you'll press “OK” to allow camera access.)
-
Scan the barcode of the item.
-
Press “actions” → “check out”
-
Type a registered user’s name after “Assign to*”
-
Tap the check mark next to “no due date” and add a due date (e.g. the time of their next appointment, 1 month from check-out, etc.)
-
Check “send email” and add the user’s email address—this way they will get a copy of their reservation info (e.g. check-out date, items loaned, due date). Any notes you type will be included in the email sent to the user.
-
Press “Check-out” in upper right corner.
​
*You will need to register a family member (see directions above) before you are able to type in their name.
​
3) Check-in an item:
-
Open the AssetTiger app.
-
Press “scan” from menu on the bottom of the screen.
-
Scan the barcode of the item.
-
Press “actions” → “Check in”
-
Ensure that return date is accurate.
