Setup and Configuration

To set up the Job View Mode in the Workstation Portal, follow these steps:

  1. Device Enrollment:
    ○ Before using Job View Mode, ensure that the device is enrolled in the
    ShopXpert system.
    ○ Navigate to Settings > Device Enrollment and register the device by
    providing the manufacturer, model, serial number, and device type.
  2. Job View Mode Activation:
    ○ During the enrollment process, select Job View Mode as the purpose of the
    device.
    ○ This will enable the device to perform all necessary job-related operations,
    including updating task statuses and viewing detailed job information.
  3. Location Assignment:
    ○ Each device must be assigned to a specific location.
    ○ The jobs displayed will be filtered to show only those relevant to the assigned
    location, ensuring that team members are focused on tasks pertinent to their
    work environment.
  4. Session Timer Configuration:
    ○ Set the session timer to specify how long a user session will remain active.
    ○ This value is set in seconds. If set to 0, users will not be automatically logged
    out, providing continuous access without the need for frequent re-authentication.
  5. Asset Assignment:
    ○ Assign devices to specific assets to restrict the jobs displayed.
    ○ By default, the device will show all jobs at the assigned location. However,
    when an asset is linked to the device, only jobs associated with that asset will
    be shown.
    ○ This ensures that users are only viewing jobs relevant to the specific machinery or equipment in use.

By following these steps, the Job View Mode can be effectively configured to enhance job management and operational efficiency for employees.
