It is, really. But I have no clue how to even begin building a database or how to link it to a UI.
This is my idea:
The iPod will have a numbered barcode (asset tag). Each associate will have a barcode under their name (the barcode is their name). When they grab an iPod, they will scan the asset tag, then scan their name barcode to sign the iPod out. The UI will display the iPod number, their name, and the time & date they signed it out. When they sign it back in at the end of their shift, they would click a check box by their name to sign it in, a message will come up asking them if it's broken, if not, it gets signed in. If it is, they have to enter a reason code as to what about it is broken.
