Figure 1-16: Item Found Alert
When you are finished searching tap the <Done> button at the bottom of the screen. If all of
the items are found, an alert screen will notify you. Tap the Ok button to continue. At this
time, the Item Search result files will be generated. A pop-up will appear asking you to "Please
dock the PPT 2700 unit and press OK to begin transfer of the Search Results file". Tap the OK
button. (Note: In Wireless mode the file transfer is automatic.)
Note
: If you would like to abort the file transfer, tap the Cancel button on this pop up. You
will then be back at the Item Search screen.
The Search Results file will be transferred to the configured directory on the ILS Application
Server. Refer to section 1.5 Transferring the Inventory Data Collected for details. This file
will list all of the barcodes searched. If a barcode was found, the date and time of the search
will be listed. If the barcode was not found, the date and time will not be listed.
Two additional files will also be created to list the items found and the items not found. The
items found file will have the file extension “.psf”. The items not found file will have the file
extension “.psm”. The filename of the item search list file will be used, with the appropriate
file extension added. These files may be used to perform another search, or may be processed
as results of the search on the circulation system.
1.7. Shelf Order Search
The Shelf Order search may be used to verify the contents of a shelf against a shelf order list
generated by the circulation system. Items scanned will be compared to the shelf order list to
determine if they are “in order”, “not in the list”, or “not found”. This allows for verification
and sorting of the shelf contents. This is another method available for performing inventory.
To begin a Shelf Order search, tap the <Shelf Order> button located at the bottom-left of the
ILS Inventory Main Screen.
