Using the CSV File
You can manage the arrival of sample sets and familiarise yourself with the codes by downloading a CSV file from vintrace, entering the data into the CSV, then uploading the CSV file to vintrace.

Scanning the Sample’s Barcode
If you have a barcode scanner (such as a USB device) attached to your computer, a fast way to record the results for a sample set is by clicking the barcode icon from the top bar, then scanning the sample label.
You can also enter the sample code manually by entering the sample code as it appears on the sample label (e.g. bs8 in the example below)
