The workflow configuration defines which collector steps can potentially be displayed when going through a registration flow. As the registration is based on an e.g. order line, that can influence which steps are actually displayed.

From Mobile WMS v. 1.4.1, specific steps where added to aid in the configuration of standard steps, replacing the <add> element with specific elements line <toBin> and <quantity>. So while the <add> element is still available for custom steps, it is recommended that standard steps are used when applicable.

Specifics for standard steps

  • <serialNumber> from v. 1.5.8
    • splitBarcodeBySeparator = ";" - Enables registering multiple serial numbers in one scan from a barcode containing a concatenated list of serial numbers, divided by the character defined in this attribute. E.g. SerialNumber#1;SerialNumber#2;SerialNumber#3
  • <toBin><fromBin> from v. 1.5.10
    • validationWarningType = "" - Overrides the bin validation behaviour defined on the order line.
      • Warn - Translates to AllowBinChange="true"
      • Block - Translated to AllowBinChange="false"
      • None - Could not be defined before, but allows any value to be entered.

Steps

  • <add> 
    • id = "standard" - Name to reference from the service configuration through the workflowId attribute.
    • itemNumberAI = "01,02" - Defines the application identifiers used to identify a item when scanning a Gs1 barcode.
    • <configuration> -
      • prefillExpectedValueOnLocationScan = "false" - Set the expected value as the result when manual entry is selected by sliding the scan icon to the left.

      • fastForwardMode
        Fast forward is for automatically stepping over steps, if their value is already provided in either the input or scanned values.
        This setting determines which values can be used. Note: DefaultValue is never considered and has no effect.
        Input values are header values (filters) or properties from the selected lookup or order line.
        • OnlyScanValues = Only scanned barcode values are accepted for stepping over steps.

Additional Values

The additionalValues tag enables values from the the data object from which the registration is being created to automatically save values without asking the user. In the example above, the Variant value from e.g. an order line, will be added to the registration with the name of VariantCode, without asking the user. This is a convenient way to get extra information into the registration without disturbing the user about information which is already on the data object.
