ZBar iPhone App
User Guide
Once you accumulate a lot of barcodes, it will be difficult to find them in one long listing. To help with this, you can organize your barcodes into “folders”, or separate lists of barcodes. To work with folders, navigate to the folder list, by tapping back on the “Folders” button from any barcode list.
Tap a folder to view the list of barcodes it contains.
When you open the barcode scanner, any barcodes you scan will be filed in the current folder. This is simply the folder that you are currently working in. Select a different folder to change where your barcodes are filed as you scan them. |
New folders are added from the folder list: tap the plus ‘+’ icon in the toolbar, then enter a name for the new folder and tap “Save”. |
The new folder name defaults to the current date and time. If you’re in a hurry, just use this - you can always change the name later if you want.
Change the name of a folder by tapping “Edit”, then tapping on the folder name in the list. |
You can change the order that folders are listed: tap “Edit”, then grab the folder by the grippy texture on the right and drag it into the new position. |
Tip
You can change the name of the “Unfiled Barcodes” folder, but you can not move or delete it.
Delete folders from the list by tapping “Edit” and using the red “minus” that appears in front of the folder. Deleting a folder also deletes all barcodes saved in that folder. |
Tip
To quickly delete a single folder without using “Edit”, just swipe your finger across it in the list.
Important
Delete operations can not be undone - once you confirm the deletion, the data is gone!
You can clear all of the data saved by the app. From the folder list, tap “Edit”, then “Clear”. |
