  2. Select Create Manifest.
  3. Check Scans from current user only if you want to exclude depot scans from other users logged in at the same time.
  4. Set the scans to include.
  5. Tap Create.

A success message confirming the manifest number appears at the bottom of the screen.



Select Create Manifest:
