Quick Check In ?

[ksaenz]

I think adding a "quick" check in option that allows you to check in multiple items in a row without selecting "Check In Item" would be fantastic. I check out laptops to students and they all turn them in a once. Hit "Check In Item", scan barcode, hit enter condensed into just scanning a barcode.

basically, just eliminating the "enter" key press? on the "Check In" screen?

Not a bad idea... I'll look into it.

Thanks for the idea.

basically i click "check in".

then i loop these actions

-> scan barcode, enter, enter ->

the barcode scanner itself hits an enter key automatically after it scans.

idk, maybe if you check in an item, the software automatically re-opens the check in part? that would still leave me hitting enter once on the keyboard.

its not a huge deal, the software is still fantastically better than what we were using.

How about if there's a checkbox for the option that doesn't close the check-in screen after you check an item in, and sets the focus back to the barcode field automatically?

I could possible set a customizable timer to auto click "go" after a x seconds (as i can't do it by length of barcode because it could be different), but that would eliminate 1 enter key strike.

thoughts?

i think a checkbox for the option that doesn't close the check-in screen and sets the focus to the barcode field would work well.

I've released 1.6.4 earlier this week with the update -- Just curious if you'd had the chance to update and try it out.

Let me know what you think!

That's awesome. Works great!

Glad to hear it!

I'm marking this topic as solved.
