Instructions
1 - Choose a product
Tap on a product to open the product details slideover view. Then scroll to the 'Orders List' view inside the details view. You can get to this section by scrolling from right to left on iPad/Mac and from bottom to top on iPhone.
2 - Assign a barcode
Below the 'Orders List' view, you wil see a box saying 'No Barcode Assigned'. Tap on the blue 'Add Barcode' button to launch the barcode settings area.
3 - Enter or scan a barcode
You can tap in the 'Enter Barcode Value' field to type in the barcode number. You can also choose to display this value as a barcode or a QR code.
Alternatively, instead of typing the barcode value, you can tap on the 'Scan to assign' button to launch the barcode scanner. Then you can simply scan the barcode that you would like to assign to this product.
You will be shown a preview of the barcode value that you have entered. Tap 'Done' to save this barcode value.
4 - Edit/Remove a barcode (Optional)
Once you have added a barcode, you will see a preview in the details slideover view. Tap on the 'Edit' button below the barcode preview to show the barcode settings again.
You can then edit the barcode value in the field or scan a new barcode to assign to the product.
You can also remove the barcode from this product by tapping the 'remove' button, then tapping 'Confirm Remove'.
5 - Scan a barcode
Once you have assigned barcodes to your products, you can use the built in scanner to quickly find products and edit their quantities.
Tap on the scanner icon in the bottom left corner (next to the plus icon) to launch the scanner. Hold the device so that the camera on your device can clearly see the barcode. The scanner will automatically recognise and scan the barcode and launch the related product.
If the barcode that is scanned has not yet been assigned to a product, you will be given the option to assign the barcode to a product at this stage.
