How to Reuse an Already Assigned NFC or QR Code in ToolSense

Reassigning NFC/QR Codes – How It Works

If an NFC or QR code is already linked to an asset in ToolSense, it cannot be reassigned to a new one directly. However, you can release the code using one of the two methods below:

1. Assign a new tag to the current asset

When you assign a new NFC or QR code to the asset that currently has the old tag, the system will automatically remove the link to the previously assigned tag.

• The old tag will then be available again.

• You can now assign it to a different asset.

• No manual unassignment is necessary — the new assignment overrides the previous one.

This method is recommended if the original asset should remain in ToolSense but use a new tag.

2. Delete the asset the tag is currently assigned to

If the asset that is currently linked to the NFC/QR code is no longer in use, you can simply delete it from ToolSense:

• The associated tag will be automatically released.

• You can now reassign the code to another asset.

Please note: Deleting an asset will permanently remove all associated data. Only use this option if the asset is truly no longer needed.

Important Notes

• There is currently no manual "unassign" option in the UI.

• Releasing a tag always requires either assigning a new one to the existing asset or deleting the asset entirely.

• Tags (NFC/QR) can be reused as often as needed, as long as they are physically intact.
