Tutorial 04

Affix a label and scan it

Stick the printed label on Camping gear, open Scan, and see what the app shows for a box code and for an item code—using Wool sweater from the earlier tutorial.

Step 1

Affix the box label

Print the Camping gear box label, cut it out, and stick it on the physical box—front or lid where a phone can see it. The QR identifies the box; the inventory list stays in the app. You can print again anytime from Print label on this screen.

Step 2

Open Scan

Tap Scan in the bottom bar. Point at the BoxSeek QR on the box or tote—on a shelf, in a unit, or wherever you stuck the label. Scanning is automatic—there is no shutter to press. Hold steady until the result sheet appears.

Step 3

What a box scan shows

A recognized box label opens a sheet with the box name, where it sits, and the items inside. Here that includes Wool sweater. Tap an item to open it, or Open box for the full box screen. Close the sheet to scan another label without leaving Scan.

Step 4

What an item scan shows

An item label opens that belonging instead. For Wool sweater you see the photo, that it is in Camping gear, quantity and status, plus Open item and Open box. Affix item stickers on the thing itself, a bag, or a shelf tag—wherever you will point the camera later.
