Operation Feedback

Generally the scanner will beep on a successful scan, if audio is turned up on the device. That only means that the scanner was able to read the barcode.

Tasklet Mobile WMS can also be setup to provide haptic and audible feedback indicating if the operation was actually successful. This is done in start.cfg in the section feedbackConfiguration, as displayed below.

<start ...> <!-- FEEDBACK --> <feedbackConfiguration> <feedback on="Attention" sound="Attention" vibrate="false"/> <feedback on="Error" sound="Error" vibrate="false"/> <!-- <feedback on="Notification" sound="Notification" vibrate="false"/> <feedback on="Success" sound="Success" vibrate="false"/> --> </feedbackConfiguration> </start>

There are four types of messages that can be setup.

  • Attention - Not an error but something the user needs to be aware of.

  • Error - Posting went south, or other situations where something failed.

  • Notification - General information to the user.

  • Success - Posting was a success, or other successful operations.

Notification and Success feedback is disable by default.

From v. 1.10 successful feedback can also be enabled for unplanned pages, and will use the general success configuration.
