Entering data with a bar code reader

After configuring DMS for bar code data entry and printing bar code sheets, you can use a bar code reader to enter data in the DMS Data Entry module.  Even though DMS has been specially configured for bar code data entry, you can use the keyboard and mouse at any time.

Entering standards and traceability values

The method used to print bar code sheets for standards and for traceability values will affect the steps needed to enter these values during data entry:

When the Defect list is highlighted on the DMS Data Entry screen, the scanned traceability value, process or part number is entered in the appropriate field and the focus returns immediately to the DMS Data Entry screen.

To begin entering defects using the bar code reader, the user must click the mouse or press the TAB key to highlight the Defect list on the DMS Data Entry screen.

For detailed instructions, see Entering information via bar code reader and keyboard.

Entering defects

When the Defect list is highlighted on the DMS Data Entry screen, you can use the bar code reader to scan each defect individually, or you can scan a defect reason and then scan the count for that defect.  For detailed instructions, see Entering defects with a bar code reader.
