in the Consecutive scanning mode, the badge ID successfully gets displayed in
the empty bar. The
green filled color indicates the successful scan of the badge. 
Beacon ID Confirmation

you can simply tap the device onto the badge to
scan via NFC and beacon ID can either be manually
entered or can be scanned via camera.
