Sightings
Sightings records where tagged items have been seen. Every read that is not part of a count or a counter sale lands here, building a picture of where stock actually is rather than where the ledger says it should be.
Where to find it
Go to EdgeBridge > Sightings.
What the list shows
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Tag (EPC) | The tag read. |
| What / Item / asset | What it is mapped to. |
| Where | The location, from the read point. |
| Reader | Which reader saw it, with its antenna. |
| Arrived / Last read | First and most recent read at that place. |
| Reads | How many times. |
| Signal | Read strength. |
| simulated | Marks anything produced in demonstration mode. |
Repeat reads of a stationary tag are collapsed into one visit, using the window in Settings. Without it a pallet parked under an antenna would generate thousands of sightings a day and bury the movements that matter.
What to use it for
- Finding an item nobody can locate — the last read is where it was.
- Confirming goods actually passed the inbound door, not just the paperwork.
- Spotting stock sitting in a staging area far longer than it should.
Sightings and stock
A sighting is an observation, not a transaction. It moves nothing and posts nothing — to turn reads into a stock adjustment, run a count.
