Printing in Compact Mode

2. Click the Print button to print the blank, compact Countsheet to carry around with you to take inventory counts.
Printing In Full Entry Mode

Please note that the main difference between the Full (entry Mode) and Compact (Print Only) Countsheets boils down to visual properties and personal preferences. Both were created for the same purpose: counting inventory.
Entering Inventory Counts into QSROnline
- After counting your inventory, return to the QSROnline Client application to enter the store counts. Switch back to the Full (Entry Mode) to view the full screen Countsheet.
- Enter the counted values from the printed compact Countsheet into the highlighted cells for each item counted. Use the Tab key or the Enter key to move between entry cells. You will notice that once you enter a value, the Countsheet will automatically calculate the total for that item.
- When you have finished entering the count values, or when you need to step away from the computer, it is wise to click Save. This will save all of your entries in the countsheet.
- Once you have saved your Countsheet, click the Close button.
* Please Note: We suggest one user at a time while entering Inventory counts. Also, if an item is missing, the ADMIN must update the list.
