You can import your asset or inventory data into Orca Scan using a Microsoft Excel .xlsx
spreadsheet. Your data must be in the first sheet and include a Barcode column that contains a unique barcode for each row. When a barcode is scanned from the mobile app, it will search your barcode column for a match; if it finds one, the data for that row will be returned to the device.
1. Use an Excel file
At present, you can only import .xlsx files - the default Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format.
2. Include a Barcode column
Ensure your sheet contains a barcode column, so the system knows which columns to search through for a match.
3. Keep it clean
Your Excel file should not contain any irrelevant information such as logos or merged cells. Ideally, it should resemble the example below:

Troubleshooting
Import error: “Failed to fetch”
Try reloading the browser and importing the file again.
Import error: “Your spreadsheet must include a barcode column”
You need to add a column to the file named “Barcode”. You can always change this once the file is imported.
