+-------------------
+

+
+Click on *Submit* to create the new item:
+
+.. image:: _static/item_created.png
+
+Note that the last chosen attributes (*Manufacturer*, *Model*, *Location*, *Status*) are saved to the session.
+This makes it easy to enter several identical items. You can click on the *Clear* button to clear all the attributes.
+
+To register new items, you can scan directly the **ICS id** and **serial number** in the web UI.
+See :ref:`scanner-setup` to configure the scanner as a keyboard:
+
+1. When the page loads, the focus is on the **ICS id** field.
+   Scan a label. It will set the focus on the **serial number** field.
+
+2. Scan a serial number. The focus will be set on the **Submit** button.
+
+3. Scan the *Submit* QRCode on the right of the page. This will submit the form.
+
+
+For more complex workflows, you can use the *cse-scan* application. You should configure the scanner as a RS232-based COM port.
