How to Scan Duplicate Barcodes and Increment Inventory in UDIdentify

• If you’d like to represent multiples of a certain device in your history, but you don’t want to manually update the count in your history for that device, you may scan the same barcode multiple times. 

• When a scan is duplicated, you will be prompted with a message asking if you would like to increment the count of that device by 1. 

  • Note: We ask this, because as the barcode scanner reads barcodes passively,  the open barcode scanner will scan whatever barcode it is pointed at. This means it is possible that a barcode could be scanned unintentionally, so we just ask that you confirm these duplicate scans before the device count in incremented. 

• If you select “Increment”, that device’s count will go up by 1. 

Note: If you want to make sure you don’t accidentally scan a barcode, consider deactivating the camera for a period of time. You can do this by tapping the camera button below the viewfinder.
