📖 Step-by-step manual, how to create new oreder.
The initial step, following the application launch, involves selecting your designated role. This action is imperative only if the default role has not been pre-assigned. For comprehensive guidance on configuring the default role, please refer to the following informational resource: How to set the default work role for a device/sensor/user?

⏰ Create order from history by repeat
By default, the 'Order screen' displays only active orders, indicating those that require your immediate attention for completion. If you wish to access a comprehensive list of all your orders, please navigate to the left corner menu and select the 'History' tab. Within this section, you will find orders categorized as either 'Completed,' 'Discarded,' or 'Created but not yet sent.
For improved efficiency, you have the option to replicate previous orders. By selecting the 'Repeat' button, a dialog for order creation will appear. Here, you can choose specific items from the previous order, and make any necessary note modifications. Upon clicking the 'Create order' button, a new order will be generated.
As you can see there is a slide bar on the left side of the screen. Just click on the Pick work group and the menu will roll out. Here you can see some simple tabs such as:
Change role
- this tab helps you changing the role of the tablet/button
End shift
- tab is used after your shift is over and a new shift can start
Exit Application
- as the name says you can close and exit the application (you need a password from your supervisor to do that)
Dark theme
- you can choose if you want to have a light or dark theme of the app
The first thing that you have to do is Pick a work group, be aware there can be more than one workgroup so do not forget witch is witch and what connections they have in the Nodes. For this example we have created a simple work group Froklift AOS and in it we had set a basic ordering system. As you can see we have created a FrontRow line 01 role and the member is Tablet Forklift 04 (one side of the ordering system) that will send an ordering request to the Tablet Froklift 05. For better difference the Tablet Forklift 04 will be in dark mode adthe Tablet Forklift 05 will be in ligh mode. In the tAnalytics it will be seen like this:
Lets see what we are going to do in the app. At first we will click on the work group we want to select (for us it is the Forklift AOS work group). Than we wil choose a Role, that has specific items or packages in it. Now a new screen will show up and as you can see we did not make any orders yet so we have a page with no orders to show.
Troubleshooting: If you clicked on the wrong group or role, do not worry. Just click on the menu and click on the change role tab. It will close the ordering screen and you will be back on the home screen where you can pick the right work group.
So now we can make our first order. By pressing the + button in the right corner of the screeny you can create a specific order for you. In this example we want to order a specific DIN screws for our bumpers. Previously in the tAnalytics, I have created a package DIN 7991, that containts 9 types of different DIN screws. If you have any additional request on the top of the screen you can write a note that will be connected with the order. Ok so in the first scenario we will order all the DINs in the package. Just click the package checkbox and it will automaticly selects all the items in the package. Next to the items, there are number of pieces that you want to order. If you select something it will automatically set the number to 1, but by pressing plus and minus, you can add more pieces. After you are complete, just click on the create order button in the right bottom corner. Than a pop-up windows will appear and asks you if you really want to create order (if you are sure click yes, if not click no and change your order)
This is how you create a single order with more items. As you can see in the order menu, there is a funcionality that can Split the order. That means, you can send your checked items as separeted orders. This can be helpfull when you want to send some items separatly, because of the location in the warehouse. When you choosed the items you want to send, just click on the Split order checkbox, and continue with the creation of the order. As you can see on the expalme, you will see all the items as separated orders. This orders are confirmed by the receiver on the other side as usual. As you can see, if you did a mistake you can discard the order as always.
As mentioned before, for better difference the Tablet forklift 04(sender) will be in dark mode, and the Tablet Forklift 05(receiver) will be in light mode. For better understanding the manuals are separeted alone for ordering and for forklift users. We highly recommend that you read both of the manuals before starting using the AOS system.
