Public API

New API service for logging ‘Scanning Events’ (Saturday 20th May Release) 3685

New

Creates scanning events in Stream against items or runs based on the results of scanning that has been performed in another system, for example a Warehouse Management System (WMS). This gives visibility in Stream of what scans have been performed outside of Stream, as well as when and by who.
