Scan Contents barcodes

Scan a barcode

1. The scanner opens on its own. Point it at a barcode. It reads automatically, so you do not need to press a button.
2. Wait while ThingzSafe looks the code up in your inventory and in its product catalogue.
3. If you already have it, the app shows its name, location and quantity. Choose Increase existing quantity, Open existing Thing or Create separate Thing.
4. If it is new, check the Product name, Size / pack size and Manufacturer / brand, and enter the Quantity.
5. Tap Save · Scan next to save and scan the next one. Tap Done when you have finished.

Good to know: You can type the full barcode instead, including any separate first digit at the far left, then tap Look up code.

Plus and minus labels

If you have printed + or − stock labels, scan one here to add or remove one straight away. See Print barcode labels.

If something goes wrong

If the product is not found, ThingzSafe asks you to type its name, size and maker. If you are offline, the barcode is saved and you can enter the name later. See Troubleshooting and support.
