    <listConfiguration id="LookupWithImages">. 

• If both these are not meet, contact Tasklet Factory.

Supported NAV versions

*Note that you may need to download the newest Tasklet objects from Tasklet University that include the new CodeUnits.

• NAV 2013

• NAV 2015

• NAV 2016

• NAV 2017

• NAV 2018

Please note

• Images are cached by the app to reduced bandwidth requirements

  • But still, do keep in mind the image file size

Steps to perform

1. Import images in Items

2. Import NAV objects

3. Enable in NAV code

4. Configure the Mobile App (Optional)

• Minimum NAV 2013

Keep image size down

• Images are cached by the app to reduced bandwidth but large images will take longer to download. Keep image size down.
  
  

Overview

Step 1 - Set "Max Message Size" for Web Service

On the servier tier administration, SOAP tab.

You must set this property to the highest possible size of image. 5120 = 5 megabyte.

Warning: Failing to increase this value, will result in images not being stored in NAV.

Step 3 - Import NAV objects

The following two objects will be create

• Codeunit 6181391 - MOB WMS Media
• Codeunit 50011- RunMe Setup MOB WMS Media
  
  

1. Re-Compile the object (Important)
2. Run the object "RunMe Setup MOB WMS Media"
   1. This will set up Image support, by creating a Mobile Document Type called "GetMedia" pointing to Codeunit 6181391

Step

4 - Enable in NAV code

Warehouse Pick, Put-away and Move

In Codeunit 6181388 - MOB WMS Toolbox and function CreateWhseActLinesResponse

2. Insert the following snippet

// MEDIA
MOBWMSMedia.AddItemImageToRequest(WhseActLineTake."Item No.",XMLOrderLine,NS_BASE_DATA_MODEL);
// MEDIA

Image Modified

Warehouse Receipt

In Codeunit 6181372 - MOB WMS Receive and function CreateOrderLinesResponse

1. Create a Global variable for Codeunit Called "MOBWMSMedia" of type "Codeunit" and Subtype "MOB WMS Media"
2. Insert the following snippet

// MEDIA
MOBWMSMedia.AddItemImageToRequest(WhseReceiptLine."Item No.",XMLOrderLine,BaseDataModelNS);
// MEDIA

Image Modified

2. Insert the following snippet

// MEDIA
MOBWMSMedia.AddItemImageToRequest(Transferline."Item No.",XMLOrderLine,BaseDataModelNS);
// MEDIA

2. Insert the following snippet

// MEDIA
MOBWMSMedia.AddItemImageToRequest("Item No.",XMLLookupResponse,MobXMLMgt.GetNodeNSURI(XMLResponseData));
// MEDIA

Image Modified

Modification 2

In Codeunit 6181382 - MOB WMS Lookup and function AddLookupResponse

Step 4 - Configure the Mobile App to show Images for desired workflows

You must enable images for the workflows you want to use them in, i.e. "Pick" and "LocateItem" etc..

Please note

The prerequisites in the beginning of this article which are:

• Mobile WMS for Android App version 1.3.0 or newer

• application.cfg on the scanners contains "listConfiguration" with images i.e.:

    <listConfiguration id="LookupWithImages">. 

• If both these are not meet, contact Tasklet Factory.

Perform the following modifications to application.cfg

In general, to start using images you need to substitute the listConfiguration for the workflow with a new listConfiguration called the same but with "WithImages" appended.

Change where the  "OrderLines" list is used to instead use "OrderLinesWithImages".

For Pick:

For Put-away

For Receive

If you want to be able to see a larger version of the image during picking:

Show Image

To show the image in Full Screen, you can enable the "Show Image" action.

Remove the comment tag surrounding the showImage action under PickLines:

.

Images on Order lines

1. A sourceID XML tag appears in the App Configuration file, application.cfg.

   1. This is named "ItemImage".

2. When the Mobile Request Document Type "GetXXXOrderLines" is reponded to, an Image tag is included.

When the sourceID matches with the answer to the request, additional requests are made for the images needed. 

One request after the next. These will have the Document Type "GetMedia".

Troubleshooting that no image is being saved

Mobile Doc. Type is missing

Solution

Unknown error
