Scan Analysis List (SAL) in Speed Mode
Overview
Speed Mode now features the Scan Analysis List, which gives you the ability to build up a list of product barcodes for later analysis. This can be useful if:
- You lose an internet connection while in store
- You just want to scan a whole shelf full of products as quickly as possible!
SAL introduces two new sections to the Speed Mode screen:
- S - The Speed Mode Scanner (view this introductory article for more details)
- A - The Scan Analysis view - new products which have not yet been previewed will be bold - products previously scanned in SAS will have the timestamp replaced
- L - The Scan List View
Do all SAL scans go into my History?
In the middle Analysis view, clicking on a barcode will automatically show the product preview in the List view - for the scan to appear in your history, you'll need to click the SAS Analysis button to view the full product analysis.
SAL scans are not added to your history by design, as SAS classes the scan as more of a search result, however, if you follow the link for full analysis, it is then that the product is added to History.
There is, however, a speed mode history in the mobile app:
How does SAL work without internet connection?
If SAS is not open when you lose an internet connection, SAS cannot open and SAL will therefore not work. However, if SAS is open and you then lose connection, you can continue scanning in-store. Note in the third screenshot how the barcode from the failed scan is saved, despite the analysis failing.
This is the power of SAL - when you have an internet connection again, you can return to this list and carry on with your product analysis.
Starting a Fresh Analysis
If you want to remove historic scans, you can delete entries in the Analysis or List view by clicking the bin icon for individual products, or click Delete All for a clean slate.
