Scanning Barcodes

Barcodes can be scanned from either the website or mobile app.

Scanning from the Mobile App

1. Navigate to the Inventory tab and press the Scan button in the search bar.
2. A scanning screen will appear.
   • If this is your first time, the app will ask for camera permission. Allow to continue.
3. Once the camera feed appears, hold your device up to a barcode label.
4. The app will automatically detect the barcode.
   • If the barcode matches a product, the app will bring up that product.
   • The app will alert you if no match could be found.
5. If a location has not been selected, you’ll be prompted to select one.
6. Once a location is selected, you can:
   • Adjust inventory quantities
   • Add the product to the cart (if it has a vendor and cost)

Auto-Adjusting Quantities

To simplify counting, you can enable Auto-Adjust Quantity:

1. Toggle Auto-Adjust Quantity at the top of the screen.
2. Choose between:
   • Auto-Increase (add one each time the barcode is scanned)
   • Auto-Decrease (subtract one each time the barcode is scanned)
3. Each scan will change the quantity automatically.
   • An indicator below the quantity field shows the change from the original value.
4. When finished counting, press Save to finalize.
   • Quantities are not saved until you press Save.

Scanning from the Website

1. Connect a Bluetooth or USB barcode scanner to your computer.
2. Make sure your browser window is active and in the foreground.
3. Scan a barcode from anywhere on the website.
   • If a match is found, the product details will open.
   • If no match is found, you’ll have the option to create a new product.
