Note: For earlier versions of Warehouse Insight, find the documentation here. 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 following sections outline each available context and provide a brief example of how the block can be used.
Using the Selected Line
Using the Selected Line is intended for applications that are displaying a data grid (or card panel). This block takes the currently selected line (or panel) and adds each column from the underlying dataset to the context. Variable names match the column name.
Note: You can use Inspect Context to view available variable names.
Using the Selected Line Example
The Application Designer example below uses Using the Selected Line. The application loads an item list of data and once loaded displays a message indicating the selected item number.
Using the Document Header
Using the Document Header is intended for applications that are displaying a data grid (or card panel). This block takes the current document data header information and add each column from the dataset to the global context. Variable names match the column name.
Using the Document Header Example
The Application Designer example below uses Using the Document Header. The application loads a warehouse receipt document and once loaded displays a message indicating the receipt document number.
Using the PDA Configuration
Using the PDA Configuration pushes all the NAV PDA Configuration options into the global context so they can be referenced as needed. In addition, information concerning the current location is also made available (e.g., bins mandatory, require picks, etc.).
Note: You can use Inspect Context to view available variable names. If you are unsure which variable matches up to which PDA configuration option, contact support for assistance.

The Application Designer example below uses Using the PDA Configuration:
Using the Last Scanned Barcode
Using the Last Scanned Barcode pushes the last barcode data into the global context. The context that is created depends on the type of barcode and are listed below. Typically, this block is used when responding to a barcode scan event (See Designer Events for more information).
