1. Make an informal observation tag

   Make an informal observation tag.

   This lesson uses a synthetic item. A reviewed tag records an observation only; it never holds stock, isolates equipment or grants approval.

2. Keep the exact item code

   Keep the exact item code.

   Enter 000017. Scanning only fills the code; it creates no tag until you deliberately review the note.

3. A repeated scan creates no extra tag

   A repeated scan creates no extra tag.

   Enter the same code again. You remain in the capture step; a repeated reading never creates a new tag.

4. Describe what needs attention

   Describe what needs attention.

   Continue to the observation. The identifier remains exact, including its leading zeroes.

5. Choose an observation reason

   Choose an observation reason.

   Review storage asks someone to look at the item; it is not a stock or safety decision.

6. Record what you saw

   Record what you saw.

   Keep the note factual and clear. It is a local claim, not an authenticated audit.

7. Add a readable description

   Add a readable description.

   The description helps someone read the tag; it never changes the exact captured identifier.

8. Declare the observed location

   Declare the observed location.

   This location is the writer’s claim, not live inventory or proof of where the item is now.

9. Create one reviewed tag

   Create one reviewed tag.

   The genuine domain code freezes revision 1. Review its exact identifier and wording before downloading.

10. Archive a personal observation

    Archive a personal observation.

    Archive changes only the local annotation. No stock hold, quality release or machine instruction is sent.

11. Restore the local annotation

    Restore the local annotation.

    Restoring the tag changes your local list only. Its revision history remains intact.
