[NFC] Selecting a relation via NFC

Objective

Daxium-Air's "relation selection via NFC" function allows you to associate an NFC tag with a related record (use cases: personnel, materials, equipment, etc.) in order to instantly select it in another form. This method replaces or complements manual search and QR codes, offering a faster, more reliable, and more secure approach.

Step 1 — Enable NFC search on the subform

Go to the relevant form (the one that will be called by another, e.g., Internal Signatory Form ).

1. Open the form configuration.

2. Check "Allow NFC tag search from a parent relationship" .

   
   

   

3. Customize the NFC tag naming : select the fields used to clearly identify the record (e.g., Status , First Name , Last Name ).

💡 Tip: choose unique and easily readable fields (e.g., “Technician – First Name Last Name”).

Step 2 — Enable NFC selection in the parent form

From the parent form (the one that calls the relationship, e.g., Work Order or Service Request ):

1. Access the Relation type field.

2. In the field options , check “NFC” in the Selection section.

👉 This option allows you to select a record linked via an NFC tag, without manual searching.

Step 3 — Write a description on an NFC tag

Once the forms are configured, you can associate your records with NFC tags .

1. In the Daxium-Air application, open the Admin NFC menu.

   • If the menu is not present, add it from the customization tool: Action = NFC Configuration . 📸 (see screenshot)

     

     
     

2. The writable cards appear in the list.

   

3. Select the desired record.

4. Tap Write on tag then bring a compatible NFC tag close to the smartphone.📸 (see screenshots below)

   

   
   

5. The confirmation message appears: the tag is now linked to the record.

💡 Useful option:

• Filter entries not yet written on a tag.

• View the number of entries for each record

Step 4 — Using the NFC tag in the field

When entering a parent record, the relationship field (e.g., Authorized Person or Equipment concerned ) can now be filled in by simple NFC scan .

1. Touch the field.

   
   

   

2. The NFC reading screen appears:

   
   

3. Bring the phone close to the NFC badge/tag: → the linked record is automatically selected and displayed.

Scanning the tag instantly triggers the selection of the correct record, without error and without input.

🧠 Good to know

• Standard NFC tags (type NTAG213/215/216) are compatible.

• The tag does not contain any sensitive data , only a reference identifier.

• Access rights to the record remain managed by Daxium-Air permissions.
