How do I use barcodes to scan my products?

In Animana it is possible to add products to the client or patient file, by using a barcode (EAN) scanner. This is handy in general but especially if you are trying to sell bags of pet food or products which have a lot of variations. Each product which needs to be scanned will require a specific barcode number – which needs to be added to Animana. This article will explain how to add these barcodes to your products.
