It is now possible to also use an externally connected scanner to find items in the Counting app.
- Connect an external scanner (via Bluetooth) to the mobile device that is running the Counting app
- Tap/click into the search field - leaving it blank
- Scan an item
The item's barcode number will then appear in the search field, along with its details below - as has happened in the example shown in Fig.1.
