  • shelf.nu PR #2933: feat(audits): mobile scan undo endpoint, and honest zero-scan completion - View PR

Product change summary

Two halves of one principle: an audit record should be correctable while it is live, and its completion should be explicit rather than silently blocked.

The web scan page has had per-row scan removal all along. #2933 extracts that transaction into removeAuditScan() and puts a mobile endpoint in front of the same function, so web and phone share one implementation. Separately, the Complete Audit button used to be disabled whenever nothing had been scanned, on both the detail page (disabled={!hasScans}) and the scan drawer, so the most alarming result an audit can produce, an empty room, was the one result you could not put on the record. It is now offered, and the confirmation dialog states the consequence before anything commits.

Content changes

New content

  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx - new Undoing a Scan section under Step 3. The article never documented the bin icon, which is a capability the web has had since audits shipped.
  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx - new Completing an Audit Where Nothing Was Found section under Step 5.
  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx - two FAQ entries: "I scanned the wrong thing. Can I take it back?" and "Can I complete an audit if I found nothing at all?"
  • content/updates/an-audit-can-be-corrected-while-it-runs.mdx - changelog entry

Content enhancements

  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx - Step 5's numbered list went straight from clicking Complete Audit to the summary email. It now covers the confirmation dialog the click actually opens: the Audit Summary counts, the optional Completion Note and its up-to-five photos, and the fact that completion cannot be undone. The Completion Note was previously mentioned only downstream, in the paragraph about what the PDF contains.

Skipped, blocked by an open PR

Review notes

Every behaviour statement is traced to main, not to the PR body:

  • Removal is a bin icon, not a labelled control. generic-item-row.tsx renders icon="trash" with aria-label="Remove scanned item: <title>". The copy says "bin icon" rather than quoting a label that does not exist on screen.
  • The expected branch is described as returning to Not scanned, not to MISSING. removeAuditScan writes status: "MISSING", but a live audit renders that state as Not scanned everywhere, which content: who can do what, one word for an unscanned audit asset, and no CSV of audit results #244 established. The reader-facing word is the correct one here.
  • Counts are recomputed, not decremented. Three tx.auditAsset.count calls inside the same transaction.
  • The refusal is quoted verbatim: "This audit is no longer live, so its scans cannot be changed." (service.server.ts, 400, shouldBeCaptured: false).
  • The zero-scan warning is quoted verbatim from complete-audit-dialog.tsx: "No assets were scanned. Completing now marks all N expected assets as missing."
  • Prior scans really are removable. The scan route's loader calls getAuditScans and restores them into the drawer list, so the claim that a mis-scan from yesterday is as removable as one from a minute ago holds.
  • The Activity claim: removal writes an AuditNote of type UPDATE reading "{user} removed scanned asset {asset}.", and the article's existing Findings/Activity split puts Shelf's own trail on Activity.

The mobile half is stated as arriving in a future app release, not as live. POST /api/mobile/audits/remove-scan exists on main, but Companion 1.4.0 (iOS build 35, Android versionCode 15, commit 0c85873e4) predates this merge, and #2933's own body says the app UI lands separately. Nothing here claims a phone button that is not shipped.

Screenshots

No new images. Both new sections describe controls on the existing audits-scan.webp shot, and the zero-scan dialog cannot be captured without a live audit with nothing scanned in the shared demo workspace. Creating one would mean mutating a workspace other people use, so it is recorded as a follow-up with its precondition rather than faked.

Impact scope


Generated by Shelf Content Intelligence - PR-Website Sync

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for removing scans during active audits, including recounting, activity logs, and restoring previous scans.
    • Clarified restrictions for completed or cancelled audits.
    • Expanded audit completion instructions, including summaries, notes, photos, email notifications, PDF export, and audits with no scans.
    • Added FAQs and release updates covering scan removal and completing audits without findings.

Triggered by: Shelf-nu/shelf.nu#2933
Scan removal is now a shared service reachable from web and mobile, and an
audit with zero scans can be completed with the consequence stated in the
confirmation. The KB documented neither the removal affordance (which the web
has had all along) nor the previously disabled Complete button.

2. Check the **Audit Summary** in the confirmation dialog. It states the Expected, Found, Missing and Unexpected counts one last time, and completing cannot be undone
3. Add a **Completion Note** and up to five photos if you have closing observations. Both are optional, and both print in the receipt's Findings section

🌐 Web query:

"Audit Summary" "No assets were scanned" Shelf audit

💡 Result:

The phrase "No assets were scanned" in an audit summary indicates that no items were successfully registered or recorded during the audit process [1][2][3]. In the context of asset management software like Shelf.nu, an audit is designed to compare physical inventory against existing database records [1][2]. During such an audit, assets are typically classified into statuses such as: - Found: The asset was scanned and matches the expected list [1][2]. - Missing: The asset was expected but was not scanned [1][2][3]. - Unexpected: The asset was scanned but was not on the expected list [1][2][3]. - Pending: The asset is expected but has not yet been scanned [1][2]. If an audit summary states "No assets were scanned," it means the audit concluded (or is being reviewed) with zero items having moved from a "Pending" status to a "Found" status [1][2]. Depending on the specific software, this could occur if the auditor opened an audit session but did not perform any scans before completing or closing it [1][3]. Separately, in the retail industry, a "shelf audit" refers to a distinct process of examining the presence, placement, and visibility of products on store shelves [4][5]. While both processes involve verifying physical goods, the retail shelf audit is focused on merchandising compliance and product performance, rather than general asset inventory tracking [4][5]. If you are seeing this message in your asset management system, it is advisable to verify whether the intended scans were successfully synced to the server, as technical issues (such as poor connectivity) can sometimes cause scans to be lost or failed, resulting in an inaccurate audit record [6]. Top Results: [1][2][3][4]

Clarify the projected Missing count.

The guide defines Missing as a post-completion status but says the pre-confirmation Audit Summary shows Missing. State that this is the projected final count, while open audits continue to show Not scanned.

Use a dynamic expected-asset count in the zero-scan warning.

The articles present this sentence as confirmation text, but they use 20 in the guide and update and N in the FAQ. The expected-asset count varies by audit. Use one dynamic placeholder consistently, or mark the quoted sentence as an example instead of exact UI text.

  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx#L136-L136: replace 20 with the audit’s actual expected-asset count or qualify the sentence as an example.
  • content/updates/an-audit-can-be-corrected-while-it-runs.mdx#L14-L14: apply the same dynamic-count wording.
  • content/knowledge-base/run-your-first-audit.mdx#L197-L197: replace N with the same documented placeholder and explain that the UI substitutes the actual count.

Each scan now stores the asset's name and whether the audit expected it,
so deleting the asset leaves a readable row rather than a blank one
badged Unexpected, and the backfill covers existing audits.

#2949 also makes this PR's existing Activity-tab claim true: the
AUDIT_ASSET_SCAN_REMOVED action existed in the enum but nothing emitted
it until that PR.

Extended to cover three audit PRs that merged after this branch was opened.

shelf.nu #2899 + #2955 — an audit's record now survives a deleted asset. Every scan stores the asset's name and whether the audit expected it, at scan time. Delete the asset afterwards and the scan page keeps the row, reading Camera body A (deleted) and still badged Expected, instead of the blank row badged Unexpected it used to become. #2955 adds the backfill, so existing audits are covered too, not only ones run from here (its own verification: 1426 / 1426 scans filled). A live asset still shows its current name; the snapshot exists to survive deletion, not to freeze naming.

Documented the boundary honestly rather than implying the surface is complete: the audit overview's asset table is built from the audit's scoped asset list, which a deletion cascades away, so a deleted asset has no row there while the counts still include it. #2955 names that as deliberately left open. The scan page is where the full history lives.

shelf.nu #2949 makes this PR's Activity-tab claim true. The original commit already said "the Activity tab records who removed which scan". That was written from the AUDIT_ASSET_SCAN_REMOVED action existing in the enum. It has existed since audits shipped and nothing has ever emitted it — #2949 is the first emitter (modules/audit/service.server.ts:1856). So the sentence was wrong when it was written and is right now, by a day. Flagging it rather than quietly leaving it, because the mistake was inferring a behaviour from a type rather than from a caller.

The changelog entry grew a third paragraph and its title now names the deleted-asset half.

Nothing else in the PR changed. Verified before pushing: no new shelf.nu merges since the analysis, and CodeRabbit's review of the previous commit had finished clean.
