The Barcode Scanner App developed by Big River Barcode allows convenient User interaction with the PCR-360 Barcode API. This can greatly significantly simplify User interactions with Inventory Management or performing Equipment related activity for Service Desk Items.
This article will first overview all buttons within the App and then provide information on the individual Inventory and Service Desk portions of the integration with the hand-held Scanners. Due to the conveniences provided by the Scanner and Barcode Integration within PCR-360, many areas of the Scanner App that request User input will accept the scanning of a relevant Barcode to obtain that input. This can greatly significantly speed up a User's ability to perform their tasks.
Some screens of the Scanner App will behave differently depending on the type of Item being interacted with (Cabling Equipment, Asset, and/or Has Units Equipment). As such, this article may not 100% mimic a User's interaction with it in all cases.
Note: one thing to be aware of while using the Scanner App is that when selecting items from a grid, even though the top row is highlighted by default in those instances, a User will still need to select that row manually if they would like to select it.
