This document contains a step by step guide on how to use a mobile device to scan bin tags in the field. You will need the Harvest module to access this feature.

If you plan to print tracking codes in the field, you will need to set up a mobile printer. See Field Printing Setup and Information for more information.
Instructions
Log in to the Mobile App on your compatible Android or iOS device.
Scroll through the Dashboard to find and tap on Harvest.
3. Tap the + sign in the top right corner to make a new harvest event.
a. If you’ve already made the event, select the event you’d like to add inputs to instead.
b. If you’re unsure whether or not you’ve already scanned a tag, press the scan icon to scan the tag and check.
i. If the tag was already registered as a harvest input, an ‘Edit Harvest Input’ page with that input’s information will pop up.
ii. If the tag has not been registered as a harvest input, an error will pop up.
4. Tap the green Choose where button at the bottom.
This button will change to ‘Add Input’ once you’ve chosen a location.
If you need to change or add locations, look under the WHERE section of the Details tab.
If you’re harvesting from multiple locations, add your locations before you start scanning tags for a smoother scanning process.
5. Pick a harvest location from the list. This is the origin of your input.
The tags you scan must match the locations the event was made for.
a. Alternatively, press the QR icon in the top right corner to scan a location label.
Check out How to print QR codes for your Blocks and Rows to see how to print the location labels.
6. Once you’ve selected a location, the scanning screen will pop up. Scan a bin tag to add the bin as an input.
You can exit out of this screen and punch in an employee first. When an employee is punched in, they can be recorded as a picker for a series of inputs.
On the event page, tap the Worklogs tab to see the worklog that was auto-generated when you picked a harvest location.
7. Confirm that the bin information is correct. Edit if need be. Press the back button at the top left to return to the event page.
(Optional) Once the tag has been scanned, feel free to write the date and tracking code on the physical tag. It may help with identification later on.
Your input will be added to the list in the Inputs tab. Press the green Add Input button at the bottom to scan another tag for this event.
