Scan/search multiple
Introduction
Assetflw provides a tool to scan and/or search multiple products. The purpose is to allow processing of several products in one action, e.g. change tags on several products or add several product to a work order.
Scan
Scanning lets you scan barcodes or hang tags and find all relevant products.The process is simple and easy to perform, simply follow these steps:
- Select Scan/Search multiple from the general product listing
- Place the cusor in the search field
- Scan your hangtag or barcode.
Search multiple
Search multile works pretty much the same way that scan does, with the exception that you anter the search string manually. Follow these steps:
- Select Scan/Search multiple from the general product listing
- Place the cusor in the search field
- Enter your search string
Search multiple with excel
One of the key features in searching is that you may search using multiple values simultaneously. You may select a whole column of values from an excel list and past it into the search field and Assetflw will provide a result for each of the values. Simply follow these steps:
- Select Scan/Search multiple from the general product listing
- Go to your source excel file
- Select the column of values you want to search for and copy to clipboard
- Place the cursor in the search field and paste values
Scan/search options
There are some really good features when scanning/searching in this view:
- Scan/search ALL fields in the system
- Scan/search specific fields in the system
- Auto
Scan/search ALL fields
Scanning or searching all fields means that the search is done on all relevant fields or parts of the fields. This means that you may get several results from one search string, e.g. searching for “123” may be exist in many columns in the product listing.
Scan/search specific fields
This means that you select which column to search in, this will perform the search with an exact matching, e.g. if you search using EAN-codes you may want to select the column containg the EAN codes in the system. This avoids getting result than what is expected.
Auto
Using Auto return means that you don’t have to press enter after inserting your search string. It helps if you are scanning hangtags or using copy paste on values. Using auto return will press the return key automatically. However, this is not very good if you are typing in a string manually why Assetflw gives you the option.
