The Update utility is a very handy tool to quickly update a setting or several settings in Item Properties for a number of mixed items. Update utility relies on data downloaded from your Symbol/PDE unit therefore accuracy is a must when items are being scanned and also from data filtered* via the Browser. See Filtering Tabs and Filtering screen.
The type of data needed to be entered into the Symbol/PDE unit depends on the type of update you are conducting. Most of the update procedures only require an item number and an item count of 1 but please read the procedures for each section first prior to scanning items.
To open the update utility click on the Update button under the File tab of the toolbar.
