Access Note: To modify settings the "Scanner App Settings" permission is required.

Settings Options

Show Prices

• Functionality: Toggle this setting to control the visibility of item prices within the app.

• Impact: When enabled, prices recorded in the system are displayed, which may differ from physical price tags. Useful for transparency and cross-checking.

Show Item Descriptions

• Functionality: This setting determines whether item descriptions are shown on emailed tickets.

• Impact: Disabling this option simplifies tickets by omitting detailed item descriptions, which might be preferable in certain scenarios for clarity or privacy.

Include Nailed

• Functionality: Decides if the nailed quantity (reserved stock) should be included in the total available quantity displayed.

• Impact: Useful for inventory management, providing a comprehensive view of total stock including reserved items.

Tax Percentage

• Functionality: Allows the specification of a tax rate to be applied on transactions.

• Impact: When a tax rate is set, all created tickets will automatically include a tax calculation line, facilitating financial processes.

Building Groups

Purpose and Configuration

• Functionality: Building groups are designed to organize building codes into manageable categories.

• Setup: Multiple buildings can be mapped to a single group or assign each building to its own group based on operational requirements.

Benefits

• Inventory Management: By grouping buildings, the app can display inventory levels at the group level rather than individual buildings, aiding in streamlined inventory checks and balances.

Best Practices for Configuring Settings

• Controlled Access: Ensure only authorized personnel have the "Scanner App Settings" permission to maintain consistency and security in app configuration.

• Consistency Across Users: Since settings changes affect all users, communicate any adjustments clearly to ensure all team members are aware of the new operational parameters.

• Regular Review: Periodically review settings to ensure they align with current organizational needs and practices.

Conclusion

The settings in the Scanner App play a crucial role in tailoring the app's functionality to the specific needs of an organization. By understanding and correctly configuring these settings, administrators can ensure the app operates efficiently and meets the dynamic needs of their business environment.
