Airplane Mode vs. connected scanning
| Airplane Mode | Connected (LTE / 5G / WiFi) |
Advantages | Fastest scanning. All barcode and photo data is stored on your device, so nothing uploads between items. | Barcode and photo data is sent after each item. As long as your device never loses connection, there is nothing to sync when you finish. |
Disadvantages | Requires at least 9 GB of free storage. If the device drops below 9 GB, you must sync and delete Synced items before scanning more. File sizes grow quickly on large inventories, so sync throughout the day if you can. | Slower scanning, because data uploads after each item. If the connection drops, the app stores data on your device and you will need to check that all items have synced. |
Note: If you plan to work in a remote location with limited or no internet connection, remember to log in before you go.
