purpose build bar-code Scanners + Smartsheet

Can anyone recommend a purpose-built portable device for scanning barcodes that could be used with the SmartSheet (i.e. not a smartphone or tablet)? We're looking for something we can use in a laboratory environment, so it should be fairly rugged, have good battery life and be designed for barcode-reading applications. Any suggestions?

I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
