Memento allows you to scan barcodes and use them to search Google Base for information about products. Data retrieved from Google Base can be added to entry fields.
To be able to use barcodes for identification and entry field completion, you should add a field of the barcode type to the library.
You can also use a barcode scanner to locally search for entries. To do it, select Barcode search on the menu.

Configuring field autocompletion
|
While adding the Barcode field, you can create rules for completing entry fields. Completion rules are a list of links between product attributes from Google Base and fields from the current library.
- Press the Add a completion rule button.
- Select the necessary attribute from Google Base in the first list of the new dialog box.
- The second list will show the library fields you can add the value of the selected attribute from Google Base to.
If Field autocompletion is not selected in the field parameters, the barcode will be saved to the barcode field after it is scanned, but Google Base will not be searched for the product.
Google Base provides incomplete information about products and many attributes may be empty.
