Importing to the Database
There are many ways to import data/inventory into the UBIC System.
Initial Inventory Program
- The Inventory Program is a software module used in conjunction with the UBIC System and database. Using a hand held data collector, scan EAN barcodes of the books on the shelves into the unit. It holds approximately 200 barcodes which are then uploaded to the UBIC database and entered into inventory. A printed report confirms upload and any ISBN's which did not match the database. These items can be added to the database to complete your inventory.
This program is also very useful for re-inventory.
