Overview
The Barcode Scanner App developed by Big River Barcode allows convenient User interaction with the PCR-360 Barcode API. This can greatly simplify User interactions with Inventory Management or performing Equipment related activity for Service Desk Items.
This article will first give an overview of 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.
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.
