HomeScanner App
How the Scanner App works
The home screen, the menu, scan settings and Kiosk Mode.
The home screen#
After you sign in you see:
- Who you are logged in as, with your name, email and ID.
- Scan: opens the camera to scan a customer's card.
- Search customers: find a customer without scanning, for example when their card will not load.
The menu#
Tap the three-line icon at the top right. The menu has four items:
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Home | Back to the home screen. |
| Kiosk Mode | Locks the scanner into a simple full-screen mode for a counter tablet. |
| Settings | Controls what happens when a QR code is scanned. |
| Logout | Signs you out. |
Settings#
Under Settings, the section When scanning a QR code has four switches:
- Vibration: the phone vibrates after a successful scan.
- Beep: the phone plays a sound after a successful scan.
- Show result: shows the scanned result on screen.
- Copy to clipboard: copies the scanned code so you can paste it somewhere.
For most shops, Beep is the most useful. It tells the cashier the scan worked without looking at the screen.
Kiosk Mode#
Kiosk Mode is meant for a tablet that stays at the counter and is used by several people. Switch it on from the menu when the device lives at the till, and log out when the device is no longer in use.
After a scan#
Once a card is scanned, the screen changes to match the card type: stamp counter, purchase amount, redeem buttons and so on. Each type is covered on its own page:
