Barcodes and scanning

Scanning finds an item by its barcode. A code that isn't in your catalog yet can become a new item, or be linked to one you already have.

1. Tap Scan in the tab bar, choose the place you are scanning in at the top, and point the camera at a barcode.
2. Found it: the item opens over the camera with its stock at that place. Tap Add or Remove to change the stock, or Open item to see all of it.
3. No item has this barcode: tap Create a new item from it (when a product database knows the code, its name comes filled in), or Link it to an item you have and pick the item.
4. No camera, or a code that won't read? Tap Type a code and type its digits, or switch to the keyboard for a code with letters or a long one.

Who can do it

Everyone with item access can look codes up. Owners and Managers add and link items. Add and Remove show for a role that can change stock.

Notes

• In the dark, tap Torch.
• Linking a code to an item that already has one replaces its old code.
• From an item you can link a code the same way: its own camera opens with the item at the top. Aim at the barcode, or tap Type a code.
