Barcode Scanner Options

Laurie_OConnor

Hi

Hoping someone will be able to help. I’m looking into options for using the barcode scanner to help automate our production schedule.

Currently we are using SmartSheets for all orders and manually ticking stages off (Printed, Staged, Built, QC, Shipped etc).

I have added barcodes to orders so the team can scan them however hoping that a pop up menu could come up with just the options for tick boxes that are in the sheet.

Hi @Laurie_OConnor

I hope you're well and safe!

You could use a smartphone and forms instead, so for each change in stage, you'd have a pre-filled form.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Do we know if barcode scanners other than the mobile app can be used? In a laboratory setting, a phone can not be brought into the lab.
