Barcode Scanning
With the camera of your mobile device, you can scan barcodes to view information of a sample, sample series, storage compartment or equipment.
To scan a 2D barcode of a sample, storage compartment or device click in on the Scan action in the Activity screen. Note that on iOS, the option to scan a barcode is available in the navigation bar. Scanning samples can also be done with a 2D barcode scanner.
After scanning a item the information sheet shows the following actions:
- Samples - move a sample to a new location or archive a sample
- Sample Series - move a sample series or archive a sample series
- Equipment - scan equipment to make a booking for a device
- Compartment - scan a compartment to see a list of all compartments and samples it contains
