Overview
The Inquiry Scan is a simple way to scan inventory to view information like name, purchase cost, weight, etc. In the Flex5 app, you can also quickly open inventory, edit inventory, and log maintenance on inventory when using the Inquiry Scan page.
Performing an Inquiry Scan
You can get to the Inquiry Scan page from the Hamburger menu (under the Warehouse section), or by setting up a quick link in your Quick Launcher widget.
When you are on the Inquiry Scan page, you can scan inventory several ways (all of which are outlined on the instruction page when you first open the Inquiry Scan page).
- Type a barcode into the barcode input field
- Tap the camera icon (top right) and scan a barcode with the device's camera
- Connect a bluetooth scanner and enter bluetooth scan mode by tapping the bluetooth icon (top right, next to the camera icon).
When you enter bluetooth scan mode, the cursor automatically defaults to the barcode input field, and will stay there even if you tap out of the input field to interact with the screen in another way.
