USABILITY
Enhanced Usability with .Net
Usability is a qualitative attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use
Usability is now recognized industry wide as an important software quality attribute
Enhanced usability is the product of technology and intelligent design of the interaction with a software user interface
.Net on Win Mobile provides a powerful platform to create ongoing enhancements to usability based on work flow while meeting QAD transaction requirements
Attributes of Usability
Familiarity: Do users associate the look and feel with other designs they have seen?
Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?
Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?
Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they re establish proficiency?
Increased Efficiency
Intelligent Prompting e.g.: Lot, serial, data defaults
No manual entry on mobile device Data access responsiveness No clicking “Ok” to close windows
Information return only if not “Ok”
Minimize total click count Navigation + scan count
Work Flow Driven Data Access
Browse QAD data on Mobile Client Item location, quantities, lots, etc Scrap reasons PO lines Shipping schedules, details Container content relationships
Work flow driven User selectable
Usability and Efficiency In Action!

Adaptive Work Flow Execution
A Mobile Client should use .Net to integrate manufacturing process requirements with defined QAD process flows
Mobile work flows are designed to streamline the collection of data to the minimum number of scans possible while generating the required data flow and transaction execution into QAD
Error management is integral to the work flow to prevent execution errors before they occur
Work flows should be configurable to adapt to changes in manufacturing processes or QAD process flows

2D Labeling
2D Labeling More Than
Just a Mandate
What is 2D?
2D can contain up to 1,000 characters, depending on format vs. 20 characters in a 1 dimensional barcode
Linear barcodes (or 1D) get longer as more data is encoded
2D barcode encode data in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions
1D barcodes typically depend on links to a larger database
2D contains a sort of mini-database itself, which includes information on the product and its attributes which can be encrypted
Some 2D Symbologies
PDF417 Data Matrix Aztec Code MaxiCode HCCB
Supporting 2D means morethan just hardware scanning support.
Your DC software must support the migration

Intelligent Labeling
From Automated Labeling To Intelligent Labeling
Intelligent Labeling
Print predefined labels Mobile label printing Document printing Internet label printing Printer Management
Define printers, label format & printer hierarchy Link devices to users, users to printers and
transaction type to label format
Accurate labels, in the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity!
IntelliLabelTM
Nested Container/Inventory Management License Plate System
“Master, mixed, detail labels on steroids” Associate multiple data elements with a single
serial/license plate # scan: Warehouse / Location Employee ID Part / Lot / Serial Quantity / Unit of Measure Container Serial # PO / Vendor Other
A great tool for selective serial numbering, kitting / bagging, etc.
