Once you are writing it, the options will be filtered automatically, showing only the options that match the written text.

⚠️ On the app, you will be able to search from any of these 2 items on the configuration of your list: Location Name or Location Description.

📌 Filter by barcode

In addition to the text-based filter, it can be filtered using the application's barcode reader. To use this functionality, you must follow these steps:

3. Scan the Bar Code: Using the phone's camera you can scan the desired barcode and select the desired item.
