Logging On, Selecting Menu Options and Organizations

The following procedures list the steps necessary to log on to the mobile device, select menu options, and select organizations.

Additional Information: Using Oracle Mobile Web Application with Single Sign-On (SSO): If your system is enabled with single sign-on, then you can also use your single sign-on credentials to log in to the Oracle mobile web application (MWA) server. For more information, see Logging in to the Oracle Mobile Web Application Using Single Sign-On Credentials, Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications Implementation Guide.

The error message Already Logged In appears if you use the same user ID with the same port number. If you try to connect to a different server from the MWA Dispatcher, the request may or may not be routed to the same port number. The error message does not appear if the request gets routed to a different port number.

Navigating in Mobile Supply Chain Applications

The various mobile devices used with Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications display different characteristics, but have common navigation patterns. You can navigate within the page displayed, enter data or select from a list of values, and use action buttons.

Some of the common characteristics are in the following list:

• You select a menu option to perform a transaction or inquiry.

• A page displays the fields applicable to that action.

• Fields that allow data entry have an inverse background, display fields have no background.

• The greater than symbol (>) at the end of a field name indicates the field uses a list of values for data validation.

• The colon symbol (:) at the end of a field name indicates that data entry is used in this field and is not validated by a list of values.

Window List of Values Windows

List of values window is available in prompts with greater than symbol (>) at the end of a field name. You can access the list of jobs and assemblies by:

• Selecting the Enter key at the prompt.

• Using the key combination Control > L. Optional fields are accessed only by this method.

• Entering part of the value in the field, the List of Values window displays values limited to this criteria.

Function Key and Action Button Mappings

Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications provides several commands that are accessed by function keys and action buttons. The function key default values used in Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications are listed in the following table. These key mappings are defaults delivered with your software and can be changed. For example, you may want to change a key mapping if your barcode scanner does not have one of the function keys listed here.

Personalization

Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications enables you to personalize the user interface to suit your individual preferences. Personalization can be performed at the following levels:

• Responsibility level

• Organization level

• Function level

Using Personalization enables you to:

• Hide fields and buttons

• Change the names of fields and buttons

• Provide default values within fields

• Copy and paste a value from one field into another

• Change a field to read-only

• Change a non-mandatory field to mandatory

• Enable or disable the LPN descriptive flex field or set it as read-only

You can hide any field on a page provided the following is true:

• The field is not required

• The field is required and you have provided a default value

• The field is display only

You can make fields read-only provided the following is true:

• The field is not required

• The field is required and you have provided a default value

Note: In the Personalization Field Properties page, when you set the field property Rendered to False, the field typically will not display on the mobile page. However, in some situations, the field appears on the mobile page even when the Rendered value is set to False. This occurs when a default value is assigned to the field which causes the WMS code to temporarily display the field (until you tab out of it).
