How to Assign/Unassign a Barcode to a Part

Important! The Parts Barcode Scanner does not scan other barcodes or QR codes, like ActionQR, DVIR, or TennaQR Label/Tags.

Parts Barcode Scanner FAQ
How do I see how many barcodes are already assigned to a Part?
On the Overview tab of the Part Details page, you will see a field for Barcodes with a number of how many barcodes have been assigned to the part.
Note: This field can only be seen on the Tenna App. Users cannot see how many barcodes are assigned in the Tenna desktop platform.
