Authentication is done with Google. Once a user signs in, the program checks their email against a whitelist of permitted users, and re-uses their Google Auth Token for actions in Google Admin
Users can search by keyword, meaning they can use Serial Number, Asset Name, or Reftab number to find their desired asset. Because Admin does not store Reftab numbers, if a users searches using a Reftab number, the Reftab asset is searched first, then the serial number is used to find the asset in Admin.
The result of the search brings up the details from Google Admin
Reftab results are also displayed. Any fields that are different in Admin than they are in Reftab are highlighted in orange automatically.
The user can then change any field in Admin and Reftab together in the controls section. They can even loan the asset or check it in.
Using the Reftab API, as the user types an email, matching options appear, queried from the Reftab user database
