Previewing Assets
It’s important to note that when selecting a particular asset, a magnifying glass icon appears and upon tapping this the Asset Quick View pops up, giving you a summary of the asset’s details. To view the full details and make changes, you need to tap the Details button.
MEX Accordions
Do note that the tabs that are displayed horizontally on a desktop version are all listed as collapsible tabs vertically aptly named MEX Accordion’s. To access each accordion, tap on Name of the tab and it will expand while collapsing all other active tabs. This is the case for all details forms on our new app.
On the bottom Right-Hand Side of the screen you will notice a quick access menu. This enables you to jump to any of the details accordion tabs.
Working Inside Listings
As you can see all listings on the MEX App are just like MEX 15, with a few mobile specific features like:
- MEX 15 style listing layouts and actions
- The ability to sort and filter listings, just tap and hold on a row for the menu
- Ranges Search functionality as well as a search bar up top
- Swipe to close Listings and Details
- With the added ability to Search via Asset Barcodes or NFC
Searching with the Barcode Scanner
- Tap the barcode icon and scan the forklift’s code
- Any historical work orders associated with this asset will be filtered and displayed
Additionally, users can switch selection modes between multi and single and work with multiple items in the listing to perform actions on them.
It’s as easy as that, find assets, Catalogue items and search through Work Orders, History and Purchase Orders with the new Barcoding and NFC Reading capabilities.
That’s pretty much it. A new Asset created, Work order opened, acted on and closed off.
