Use the Sense Inventory mobile app ​

The Sense Inventory app puts receiving, counting, finding, picking, packing, and selling into one handheld app, and it keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops. It runs on Android phones, handhelds, and tablets, on iPhone and iPad, and on HarmonyOS. It reads tags through the kit's Bluetooth handheld scanner, see Connect a reader.

The bottom bar has Home, Inbox, Scan, Modules, and Me. On tablets the bar moves to the left edge. Screens for modules that are off, or outside your permissions, are hidden.

Check app settings ​

Open Me → App settings to change language, theme, scanning, and sounds. These settings apply to this device only. Tag encoding scheme is the exception: it applies to the whole workspace, and you can only view it unless you may change workspace settings.
