About the Home Screen

The Home screen displays the same information that is at the top of the Activity Monitor Dashboard and provides an overview of warehouse work progress. The pie charts are color coded:

  • Red indicates Not Started

  • Green indicates Completed

  • Yellow indicates In Progress

  • Blue indicates Printed and applies to Inbound only, but not yet opened appointments.

Logging Out

The Home screen includes a menu icon in the top left corner that, when tapped, displays the menu where you can access other mobile screens.

Before you begin using the mobile Oracle RWMS, familiarize yourself with basic mobile navigation, including:

Menu Bar

The Menu bar is the horizontal bar at the top of the screen. Tap Logout to exit.

Menu

The icon in the top left corner is the menu. The drop-down menu displays the mobile menu options:

  • Home

  • Activity Monitor Dashboard

  • Appointment Calendar View

  • Labor Management Dashboard

These options use a responsive design of what is seen on the desktop in order to make the best use of the screen size available on the mobile device. These options are functionally equivalent to their desktop UI counterparts, but appear differently as sections are collapsed in favor of other sections.

Page

The page area is similar to the tabbed panels on the desktop, except that it only allows one tab. When a new page item is selected from the drop-down menu, it closes the current tab within the page area and opens the new tab.

Typically, the pages collapse the filters, but can also display differently based on portrait or landscape view.


Note:

Always use landscape view for best results.

Tasks are color coded according to progress:

  • Red indicates Not Started
