- Scan or enter in item barcode in the Item barcode field. If using a mobile device with a camera, you can click on the barcode icon

- Click the chevron next to an item to view more information.
Multiple items can be checked in during a session. If you navigate away from the check in screen while a session is still open, the checked-in items will be retained on the screen when you return, until you end the session.
The customer record is not returned when an item is checked in but you are able to view the item record and customer record by clicking on the related barcode in the check in detail screen. When you are finished checking items in, click End session to complete the check in process.
Change check in date
