Barcode Scanning and Label Printing

Albert allows you to use a Barcode Scanner to quickly and easily access Inventory items and update the Inventory. 

Note: Barcode scanners do not need to be configured to work with Albert. 

Label Printing

Labels for Lots in the Inventory can be downloaded and printed from Albert. To download a label for a Lot in the Inventory, navigate to the Inventory module and search for your desired Inventory item. (For more information on searching the Inventory, click here.) 

Click on the desired Inventory item to open it. Under the Lots header, navigate to the Lot you'd like to print a label for, click on the three dots, and select "Download Label." 

The label will download as a PDF and can be printed from there.
