Data Collection Window

Top  Previous  Next

Start the data collection software by clicking on the scanner button on the tool bar or by clicking on Inventory and pick Remote Data Collection.  You will see a window titled "Data Collection".  This window contains all of the various lots that have been loaded in from the scanner that are waiting to be processed.  This window is used to add new lots, by pressing the Add button, and to remove existing lots without processing them, by pressing the Delete button.  You may also view or work with an existing lot by pressing the Edit button.  If you have many different types of lots on this list, you can make locating your particular lot a bit easier by selecting that type from the Type box at the very top of this window.  If you select a type other than ALL, the computer will display lots of that type.

 

To enter a new lot, first press the Add button.  A window titled Data Collection Items will appear.  This window will be used to enter the items that make up this lot.  Normally the lot will be uploaded from your portable scanner.  You may also add, delete, or change items for this lot via the Add, Delete, or Edit buttons on the right side.

 

To upload a lot from the scanner you should first put the scanner in the cradle.  Next, press the Upload button on the right side of the Data Collection Items window.  Finally, press the F1 key on your scanner to start sending the upload.  You will see the data appear in the white portion of the upload window.  It is important not to type on the keyboard during this operation, because your typing will be mixed in with the data being transferred from the scanner.  After the upload completes the items from the scanner will appear on the list.
