Release Note Info/Steps

When counting an area, required items can be found by scrolling down the page or by entering a keyword in the search field.

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.

The barcode number can also be typed into the search field.
