Optimising scans with fixed value

When scanning barcodes and collecting data, you often need to capture the same value multiple times. Pinning a value to a field lets you enter it once and have it automatically set on future scans.

How to Use Pinned Values

  1. The quickest way to use the feature is to scan your first item, add the data needed and decide which fields you want to repeat as you scan
  2. Tap the cogwheel on the right side of the field you want to repeat and tap Pin value
  3. Once ready to move on to another project, location or order ID, simply tap the cogwheel again and Unpin value
Tap on the cogwheel on your desired field and select pin value to activate
Tap on the cogwheel on your desired field and select pin value to activate

Pro tip: Use Continuous Scan Mode

To make the process even faster, you can remove the need to open the details screen and click save for every scan. Turn Continuous Scan ON and turn Add details after scan OFF under settings to do this
