Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration Activities
The Aptean Mobile Warehouse application enables a mobile user to complete numerous different activities through a handheld device. Each activity has its own mobile page. The specific activities that can be performed by a user are determined by that user’s setup configuration.
- Action Menu: On clicking the Action Menu at the bottom of the home screen, you can view the list of activities that the user can perform.
- Icon: With this option, you can switch to display records as icons on the home screen. You can view the number of active records along with the title of each icon.
- Function Button: Each activity has a corresponding function button (F2, F3, etc.) that can be physically pressed on the handheld device to open the appropriate page. This button mapping is hard coded and cannot be modified.
- Quick Scan: Entering or scanning a particular record or document number in the quick scan area on the home screen will launch a related activity. The activity will automatically be configured to process data for the entered record (for example, if we scan a pick number, Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration will automatically launch the pick activity for that pick record).
- Edit: Clicking the Edit button redirects you to the Main Menu Settings list. You can check the boxes to select the options that you want to include on the Aptean Mobile Warehouse app homepage.
- Navigation menu: Customize your homepage by selecting the Icon, List or Tile view option from the navigation menu on the top left corner of the homepage. You can also edit Settings, User Setup, and Select Company from this menu.
