Help & Release Notes

PRJ-style navigation & help pages

The sidebar follows the same structure as PRJ MGNT: SCAN NAVIGATION, an Inventory section for Items and Barcodes, and bottom links for About and Help. Support is available from the app bar or via support@beapnow.com.

Staging banner aligned with PRJ

On staging and preview hosts, an orange banner appears at the top: You are not on production. Data and behaviour may differ. Production is at scan.beapnow.com.

Pathname SPA shell

Scan by Beapnow loads pages as fragments under /dashboard, /items, /barcodes, and /profile without full page reloads. Legacy .html URLs redirect to the clean routes.

Version label in sidebar

The current app version is shown below the Scan by Beapnow heading in the navigation panel so you can confirm which build you are using.

Floor vs desk

Phone counts on the floor; web adjusts and transfers at the desk. Use the iPhone app for shelf counts, then reconcile stock and Floor ↔ Storeroom moves in the browser.

Items & stock control

Browse and manage inventory items from the Items page. Search, filter, and open item details to review stock levels, locations, and linked metadata. Transfers and location splits are saved on this device until a locations API lands.

Barcode generation & printing

The Barcodes page lets you generate and print barcode labels for items using standard formats. Labels are suitable for warehouse shelves, tool cribs, and site storage.

Dashboard overview

The dashboard summarises item counts and quick links into inventory workflows so you can jump straight to items or barcodes.

Works with PRJ MGNT

Scan by Beapnow complements PRJ MGNT project management. Stock scanned or updated here can align with job and materials tracking in the main PRJ app.

Mobile scanning improvements

Faster camera-based barcode scanning and offline capture for low-connectivity sites.

Stock movement history

Full audit trail for check-in, check-out, and job transfers. Light Floor ↔ Storeroom transfers already work on item detail (device-local overlay).

Reorder alerts

Low-stock notifications and suggested reorder quantities based on usage patterns.

Locations overlay is device-local

Floor / Storeroom quantities and transfers are stored in this browser (keyed by business), not yet on the Scan API. Catalogue available totals still save to the server.

Staging vs production data

Staging uses separate data from production. Items or barcodes created on staging will not appear on scan.beapnow.com unless migrated intentionally.

Legacy routes retired

Old paths such as /open-jobs, /detail-job, and /item-scanner redirect to the dashboard. Use Items and Barcodes for inventory work. Public help stays at /pages/help/ (no sign-in required).
