Search and Find - Inventory

Overview:

This section outlines the steps for using the "Search and Find" feature. Users can initiate a search by entering either the Item's Serial Number or Tag Number in the provided text field and then tapping "Return." The app will automatically connect to the RFID handheld device. The device provides proximity feedback to help locate the item, with a green indicator and audible alert when nearby, a red indicator for limited proximity, and "Nothing Detected" for out-of-range items. Users can change the item being searched for by tapping "Change." Comprehensive instructions for this feature are available in an instructional video.

Instructions:

To use the search and find feature, tap Search and Find under the Looking for something? section of the Inventory user interface.

Next, use the text field to search for an item. 

Users can enter either the Item’s Serial Number or Tag Number.

Once you have entered the Item’s Serial Number or Tag Number, tap Return.

Then tap on the item you were searching for.

Next, the Xemelgo app will automatically establish a connection to the RFID handheld device you are using. 

Note: If the RFID handheld device you are attempting to use has not been onboarded to the Xemelgo app before, please consult the Onboarding an RFID Device section of the Xemelgo knowledge base.

Then, the RFID handheld reader will provide proximity feedback to help you locate the item you are searching for. 

To begin this process, press and hold the trigger on the reader to scan.

When the item is nearby, the screen indicator will turn Green, and the RFID handheld reader will emit a rapid audible alert. Conversely, if the item is barely in proximity, the screen indicator will turn Red, and the RFID handheld reader will emit a subdued audible alert. In cases where the item is out of range, the indicator will display Nothing Detected. 

If you need to change the item you are searching for, tap Change.
