Configuration and Setup

Redwood Mobile WMS provides all the functionality of our feature-rich RF application. This means that whatever RF Menu that you have configured in your Default Group will display the Redwood Mobile WMS. The VBCS menu must be blank for the Redwood mode to work. Existing customers that had VBCS menus configured prior to 24D will be able to continue using it until 25B by which time they must move to Redwood mobile. As noted earlier, Redwood mobile offers access to the entire breadth and depth of RF mobile functionality whereas the previous VBCS transactions were very limited in scope.

In the Group Menus page, if you want to use the Redwood Mobile Application, the VBCS Mobile Menu must be blank in the Group UI, and the RF menu must be defined.
Note: If you have an existing RF Menu, there is no need to create a new RF Menu for this. Redwood Mobile will render your current RF Menu, but the VBCS Mobile Menu must be empty. RF screen parameters will also automatically be applied in Redwood Mobile WMS.

Redwood mobile requires the same API permissions as the previous mobile application. Users must have access to the four lgfapi permissions (lgfapi create access, lgfapi delete access, lgfapi read access, lgfapi update access). If the user’s role is ADMINISTRATOR, they will automatically get all permissions if if their group has not been explicitly assigned it. Regular users must have it explicitly assigned to their group.

To setup Menu Configuration, do the following:
  1. From the Menu Configuration UI, click the "+" icon button at the top right of the Menu UI screen.
  2. To assign the Menu to the group, go to the Group Configuration UI > click the RF Menu > add the Menu here, and make sure VBCS Mobile Menu is empty. This can be done to an existing or a new group.

    Configuring Redwood Mobile

      Adding Redwood Mobile to Menu

Note: If you have an existing RF Menu. There is no need to create a new RF Menu for this Redwood Mobile it will render your current RF Menu. This means that you can use the existing screen parameter configuration, and you do not have to set up new parameters in a new screen. Please note that the VBCS Mobile Menu must be empty.
ADDITIONAL POINTS TO NOTE
  • New customers will not be able to create a new VBCS menu.
  • The reason for these changes to VBCS menus is to prioritize Redwood Mobile. Additional flexibility with regards to VBCS screens may be offered in the future.
  • Existing customers with no VBCS menus set up in a company will have the same behavior as new customers.
  • Existing customers may have some companies where VBCS menu access is possible and other companies where it is not.
