This feature allows you to configure the tablet to show records from an application database and enquire / edit items. For example, you could display the stock records and allow edit options to set the stock bar code. Alternatively, you could display the batch records and allow edit of the location.
Here the user-defined database option is set to allow you to ‘Set Stock Bar Codes’. Selecting the option displays stock records subject to the set criteria.
Selecting an entry allows you to edit the configured items.
