Please follow the steps below to take your first inventory scan:

1. Open your A.I.M.S. app. Make sure that your handheld is connected.
2. Tap the Inventory button. It should show you all the items you have commissioned to your inventory.

3. To know what you currently have available in stock, take your handheld and pull the trigger. You might have to move around a bit to make sure you pick up all the tags that are physically available in your store.
4. You can keep repeating this cycle until such time you've picked up all the items you are expecting to have. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for a couple of thousand items.
5. When you're happy with the scan, tap on the Send Report icon, on the bottom right of the page, to save your inventory.

6. In case your handheld picked up tags that are not currently in your inventory, it will show up as a number above the Send Report button. If you want to add these items to your inventory, just mark the tick box and then hit submit.

Congratulations! You're all done with your daily scan. You may now proceed to get on top of your Work Queue using A.I.M.S web UI, Probe.
