  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. Download the genuine A4 PDF

    Download the genuine A4 PDF.

    The real shared renderer prepares revision 1 with its exact fields and local QR. A download never proves that a tag was physically printed.

  11. Download the genuine 100 by 150 millimetre tag

    Download the genuine 100 by 150 millimetre tag.

    This short observation fits the fixed tag. Longer text is refused rather than clipped; A4 remains available. Printing is a separate action on your device.

  12. Download every tag revision as CSV

    Download every tag revision as CSV.

    The actual CSV retains exact identifiers and local annotations. Spreadsheet-risk text is made safe; the backup keeps exact original values.

  13. Download a portable project

    Download a portable project.

    The genuine exporter keeps tag revisions and prepared-download records. They are local claims, not proof of printing.

  14. Save isolated practice work

    Save isolated practice work.

    The ordinary save action writes only this frame’s private database. Normal saved projects and workbench cookies remain untouched.

  15. Start new temporary work

    Start new temporary work.

    Confirm the genuine replacement question. The isolated practice save remains until this session ends.

  16. List isolated saved work

    List isolated saved work.

    Only this practice frame’s saved tags are listed. Normal TagBench projects are never read.

  17. Restore the actual saved tag

    Restore the actual saved tag.

    The genuine strict project store restores the tag and its two prepared-download records.

  18. Refuse a malformed backup

    Refuse a malformed backup.

    Duplicate JSON keys are rejected. The accepted tag and its immutable revision remain in place.

  19. Keep the accepted observation

    Keep the accepted observation.

    Dismiss the refusal. The original reviewed tag is unchanged.

  20. Restore a prepared synthetic project

    Restore a prepared synthetic project.

    The real importer validates the complete tag history and opens the supplied project as temporary work. Imported claims are unverified.
