Firm Book Library with QR Codes

miristar

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has created a way to check out books in the asset management piece of Jira?  My concept is to put QR codes in the books and then have the users - who are already in the system as clients in the I.S. side of things - use their phones to scan the QR code and borrow the books... I'm brand new to Jira so was wondering if anyone was doing a similar project? 

Thanks.

Hi @miristar ,

I haven't thought about it but it's a great idea. Love it.

Thinking about the current state of functionalities you'd have to have an intermediate server because creating a Jira ticket and adding an asset is a 2step process right now.

In my opinion a user would scan a qr code containing the asset identifier of the book. The application should know customer identification information and would call a Jira server creating an issue for borrowing the book. Then it would make a subsequent call adding the asset to the newly created ticket.

Instructions

Given an issue key or id and the asset details,

1. Make a rest call to Jira to get the issue details:
   <span>/rest/api/2/issues/<issueKey>?expand=schema</span>
2. Inspect the schema elements, find all fields where:
   custom.schema='<span>com.atlassian.servicedesk.assets-plugin:assetfield</span><span>'<br></span>Note the custom field id's, eg customfield_10050
3. Update the Jira issue object with the new field value (add it to the array): 
   <span>fields[customfield_10050].add(</span>
<span>&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; value:"asset.appKey/asset.originId",<br></span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; label:"asset.label"<br>&nbsp; }<br>)</span>
4. Use the Jira api to update the issue by using a PUT on the Edit issue resource.

Let me know if you decide to start working on this.
