Accessing Barcode Information in Zigaflow

Zigaflow allows you to use your scanner to:

-Move stock around

-Search for items

If you plan to use a barcode scanner, we recommend getting on that explicitly states it can read screens.

Search items and serial numbers

Searching and recording serial numbers can be done wherever this icon is found:

Click on the icon and then scan the item number or serial number.

To print off the stock item barcodes, we recommend adding the selected items to a Job or Works Order and using a PDF document that includes the variable {ItemCodeBarcode}. If there are many, you may wish to export the items from the items screen to a spreadsheet and import that into the Job/Works Order.

You can also move stock around easily just using a scanner and not having to use a keyboard. This articles explains how.
