Materials & SDS: the binder, suppliers and QR codes

Materials & SDS is your safety data sheet binder. Workers open it from FieldView, with no signal too, and anyone can open a location's sheets by scanning its QR — the person who needs a sheet is often standing in front of a spill.

Who can use it

Everyone reads the binder from FieldView → Safety Data Sheets. Materials & SDS → Edit adds and changes materials, suppliers and QR codes; removing one needs an Admin.

Add a material

1. Admin side → Materials & SDS → Materials → Add material.
2. Product name, its collection, the supplier and the supplier's product code.
3. Supplier revision date: the date printed on the sheet. A sheet counts as out of date three years after it. Expires on only if the supplier gives one — usually empty.
4. Upload the sheet, or link to it.
5. Where it applies: Everywhere, or the locations that use it.
6. Leave Workers can see this and Active ticked, and Save.

Suppliers

Suppliers → Add supplier: name, contact, phone, email and website. When a sheet goes out of date, FieldTec raises an action item on Action Items → SDS actions (checked every morning), and it names the supplier to call for a current one.

QR codes for the wall

1. Materials & SDS → Setup → QR codes → Create a QR code.
2. Label it after where you'll tape it (only admins see the label), and pick the location. The code shows that location's sheets plus everything marked Everywhere.
3. Print it and post it where the products are. Anyone who scans it sees the sheets without signing in.
4. Each code shows when it was last scanned. Revoke stops one working; Restore brings it back.

If a scanned code says the page didn't load, the code still works: the connection dropped or the server was slow, and Try again loads it once more. A revoked code says the link isn't valid instead.
