Introduction

To know how much is left in a partial volume item when weighed on the supported Bluetooth Scale, the item must have a full or empty weight on file.

Most volume items in the WISK database should have at least a full weight attached to it, but if you add a brand new item you'll need to add this information.

If you need to add or remove a full or empty weight for an item, you can do this in the Mobile App or WISK Web Portal.

Mobile App

Selecting the Item

You can select the item to add/remove weights on the Items tab, or during an inventory count.

Items Tab

  1. Tap the “Items” tab on the bottom of the screen

    An arrow points to the "Items" tab along the bottom of the screen.

  2. Tap an item

    An item is highlighted for emphasis.

  3. Tap the pencil icon on the top right to open the "Edit Item" screen

    An arrow points to the pencil icon.

During Inventory

  1. Scan or search for the item

  2. With the item called up, tap either the pencil icon on the top right or the "Empty weights" or "Full weight" text

Adding a Weight

Note: If an item doesn't have at least one full weight on file, you're automatically prompted to add one during inventory when you tap the "Scale" tab. To learn more, see:

If there is already a full weight on file for the item, but you need to add another one:

    The screen where you enter select the unit of measurement and enter the weight.

  4. Tap “Done”. The weight is added. If you entered it in a unit other than grams, the value is converted to grams. Tap the back arrow.

    An arrow points to the back arrow.

    Note: If an item has more than one weight on file, it uses the average when weighing items during inventory.

    An arrow points to the "Save" button on the screen.
