We need help in developing accurate, easy to use procedures for an inventory of 50 thousand items. We would like to know what has been used successfully. We tried the Use a Barcode File, scanned three books into a text file; Imported and it correctly showed three items as modified. However, when using the last seen date the only way we could verify that we had seen it was by checking it in. It then removed it from the list and all that was there is what was not yet scanned. The Manual instructions are not helpful at all and we cannot imagine scanning every book in through check-in. Ideas please?
