There are three important steps in overriding a base event. Here is an example of how you would remove the print dialog after creating a License Plate in the WHI Ship app.
This article will describe the steps required to add Notes to documents via the handhelds. You must be running version 1.7 or higher to utilize this solution.
You can add a custom image to the home screen of the Warehouse Insight application on your device. This can be useful if you want to display corporate branding information, or if you have multiple device configurations and you want to see which configuration your device is using at a glance, without having to go into the configuration menu on the device.
There are times where you may need to create custom handling for documents, images, or signatures captured by the handheld device. Warehouse Insight 2.2 provides a mechanism to create a custom handler for files sent to Business Central from the handheld device.
During training or demos you may wish to show your device screen on your computer’s monitor or over a web meeting. There are applications for both Android and Windows devices to support this.
There are several settings in Inventory Setup and General Ledger setup that need to be reviewed when multiple users are required to post shipments and other inventory transactions simultaneously.
In some cases, users of Warehouse Insight will want to be able to take pictures and add that picture to the document from their mobile devices. This article will walk through the steps and code required to add capture a picture on a Sales Order from the device and add it as an attachment to the document.
Warehouse Insight services are configured for each instance of NAV/BC, and so when additional services are required for Dev/Test/Production they can be set up as shown below.
The “Assembly Order” application is responsible for processing mainly “Assemble to Stock” orders with limited support for “Assemble to Order” documents.
The “Basic Count” application can be used to perform inventory counts, when the Advanced Inventory Count application has not been purchased. The Basic Count primarily acts an interface around the Physical Inventory Journal. If the Advanced Inventory Count application has been purchased it should be used instead of the Basic Count.
The “Count” application is used to perform inventory counts. The application acts as an interface for the “Advanced Inventory Count” product and is an optional purchase. If you have not purchased the product you may instead use the “Basic Count” application.
This section will describe those general concepts and subsequent sections will detail individual modules. Where applicable the individual modules will override the general behavior described here.
In order for the devices to connect to Business Central at least one Device Configuration must be created. Navigate to the “Device Configurations” page in Business Central.
The sign in information is combination of the User ID and Web Service API Key (password). To check your user login credentials, navigate to “Users” in Business Central.
After all the previous sections have been completed you will now be able to run the Warehouse Insight application on the device if it is not already running. After initial launch you will be presented with the Welcome or Configuration screens.
While the specifics for setting up each device differ based on the make and model the general steps are applicable to all. Listed below are the general steps required.
In Business Central navigate to the “Extensions” page. From the “Extensions” page open the “Extension Marketplace”. This will open an external web site (Marketplace).
In some cases, users of Warehouse Insight will want to be able to invoice documents in addition to shipping when posting. This article will walk through the steps and code required to Ship and Invoice a Sales Order.
In some cases, users of Warehouse Insight will want to be able to add comments to documents from their mobile devices. This article will walk through the steps and code required to add a Purchase Order comments from the device.
A handheld scanner needs to be provisioned before it can use Warehouse Insight. The Warehouse Insight desktop client should already be configured and functional before configuring scanners.
PDA Menus are integral to the Application Development process. Menus define their interactions with Applications via the “Standard Action” property. Each of the standard actions are briefly described below where they directly pertain to Application interactions.
The designer logic blocks are used to control process flow through the application. The following sections will outline each available action and provide a brief example of how the action can be used.
The designer context blocks are primarily responsible for putting data into the global context so that they can be referenced by the application blocks or NAV.
The designer actions generally do not show input/dialog controls to the user but are instead intended to facilitate the process logic between elements.
The designer interactions are generally user interfaces designed to show information to the user or to gather feedback (input dialogs, quantity dialogs, message boxes, etc). The interface presented for the most part cannot be further customized but may present slightly differently depending on the operating system running Warehouse Insight.
The designer events are generally triggered either by actions taken by users (scanning barcodes, pressing menus, etc.) or by specific processes internal to the application framework (opening or closing an application, loading data, etc.). There should only be one instance of an event per application and should only be added to the application as needed.
To get started creating Applications you should already have the prerequisite components in place and access to a test device. This section will describe the configuration and walk through creating a very simple “Hello World” application.
The interface for designing applications consists of a pre-set number of blocks. Each control/block performs a specific task or encompasses a pre-defined event in the system.
When scanning barcodes in a noisy environment it can be hard to hear the notification indicating that the scan was successful. To get the maximum audio notification there are 2 places to check audio settings on the handheld.
Issue: Reclass (bin to bin move) entries being overwritten by another scanner.
Cause: Multiple scanners using the same Device/PDA Configuration Code, where a Reclass Journal Batch has been hardcoded.
