    Application Release

    Changes

    * Fine tuning of Bluetooth connection with a scale

    • App will direct a user to applicable OS or App permission settings for Bluetooth access where necessary.
    • When using a specific scale profile, re-connections in the same app session do not require scanning and selecting the scale again, and behave more like Auto Scan.
    • The user can no longer disconnect a scale in the app. Turning off a scale is the only way to disconnect.

    * Expedited Mode for UUPC is reactivated

  5. Android & iOS Update: 5.30 on BETA

    Application Release

    Changes:

    • Expedited Mode for UUPC is deactivated temporarily for adjustments.

    Bug fixes:

    • Counts for a new item size created under an existing brand do not upload along with the sync of the new size. After a new size has been synced, its subsequent counts are fine. Occurs only for certain devices, mostly iOS. Affected users please see if you still experience this issue with this version.
  6. Android & iOS Update: 5.20 on BETA

    Application Release

    5.20 is a maintenance release primarily for updates of underlying third-party software libraries, including new requirements by Android and Apple app stores.

    Changes:

    • The brief delay (introduced in 5.11) between two consecutive barcode scans is further shortened.
    • There is an Expedited Mode for UUPC for users who are comfortable enough and wish to opt in, found under Configuration > Database > Universal UPC. After the message "barcode not found - do you want to add..." , if a UUPC is matched, then a new item based on UUPC will be added and ready for counting - skipping the item creation screens. As the item creation screens are skipped, it is not possible to review and revise a new item at creation (density, full/empty weight, name, etc.). An alternative procedure at a later time would be a good idea to ensure new items based on UUPC are accurate. A one-liner might be: "count now, and check later".

  7. Android & iOS Update: 5.11

    Application Release

    App 5.11 will be released to Pre-Beta.

    New

    • Notifications: Bell button for app announcements and feedback @ main page.
    • Time Stamp Entry: Time of inventory entry is captured for the upcoming Mixed Inventory Screen on the web platform.

    Adjustments/Changes

    Weight Safeguards: Additional heuristic to safeguard against weights being entered as full counts.

    • An alert will be triggered if an item size has a defined volume > 15 liters (eg, kegs), and a full count > 10 is entered.
    • A previous alert for full count > 400 remains in place.
    Note 
    The alert only aims to reduce errors. It remains the responsibility of an userto ensure a count or weight is correctly entered. 

    Barcode Scan Delay: A brief delay < 1 sec is introduced between two consecutive barcode scans

    • The delay aims to prevent unintentional duplicate scans of an item due to various reasons

    Other:

    • Further tweaks on background server and Hot Patch processes.
