Paste a Scan ID into a Reading or Recommendation on a Windows Mobile Device

When you scan a barcode or RFID tag, you will be navigated automatically to the checkpoint associated with that barcode or RFID tag. You can, however, temporarily disable this navigation and enable the Copy Scan feature instead. On a Windows Mobile Device, you can use the Copy Scan feature to paste a scan ID value into a reading or recommendation when you scan the barcode or RFID tag.

For example, assume you are creating a recommendation for an piece of equipment, and you want to include the scan ID for the piece of equipment in the recommendation. Instead of manually typing the ID value, you can use the Copy Scan feature to populate the recommendation automatically with the scan ID.

Steps

Access the reading or recommendation into which you want to paste the Scan ID.
Select the text box into which you want to paste the Scan ID (e.g., Description).
On the Options menu or at the bottom of the screen, select Copy Scan.
Scan the barcode or RFID tag whose ID you want to paste into the reading or recommendation.
The Scan ID value appears in the active text box. At this point, the Copy Scan button is automatically deselected, and the next time you scan a barcode or RFID tag, the associated checkpoint appears.
