Hello all,

I want to ask about Scan It funcionality. We are using Zebra TC52 and in app we must to click on row for making scan. Once we click keyboard pop ups and cursor is there.

Is it possible to have cursor there automatically, I mean without a click? Is it settings in scanner device/scanner?

Enter after scan works fine. I added pictures for example.

@Sebastian.Bjording thank you for reply and sharing your experience.

 

We actually still dont know the solution.
IFS Aurena ScanIt 10 not having this problem. Strange. But this is another story because they havent been able to deploy, still some error with login, but today we solved it. Certificate ADFSIFS was the problem.. So we are going to use Aurena ScanIt instead of ScanIt for IFS app. 

Lets hope they will fix it. Strange is, no-one know the solution from consultants. I dont believe, we are first facing this. Another story :)

For me, its closed. If I find anything, I let you know solution. Cheers

@harry0r Happy to hear that, we are hoping to test the new app again spring time next year. We tested it before implementing the system but quickly concluded to that it had to many problems still when it was that new. But nice to hear that it´s some positive aspects to switching to it :)

LOV = List of Values (in the configuration client, items tab).

@harry0r We are experiencing the exact same problem. We started using IFS and Scan It a couple of years ago and are using two different hand held devices, Nautiz X6 and Nautiz X2. On the X2 we encountered this problem that your video shows but not with the X6.

Since then we have bought more devices of the X2 model and now some of them do not have this problem and some of them do depending on when they are manufactured. So the only conclusion that we have made is that somehow the hardware in the devices creates these differences since everything in the software are the same.

Hi Harry

Did a trial on the IFS TRY ME SCAN IT and found that the scanned value will be validated for the FIELD that is currently displayed, even without having to click and get the cursor. 

If your requirement is to SCAN a value, there is no need to have the cursor in the field. Directly click on the SCAN ICON and (the last icon using the camera scanner) and execute the scanning

I am not sure about TC52 Zebra.. But every hand held device specialising in the Barcode scanning comes with a direct button to point the scanner and scan. As long as the field shown is the one you are scanning, IFS Scan It will validate and work, even without cursor actually having to be clicked.

Also, set the LOV to Off, in the settings if this field is to be scanned alone, and not to be chosen from LOV. 

Note : The Keyboard and the Cursor being in the field active, is needed only if you intend to type.

The need to click to make keyboard popup is a smart mobile device behavior, and is a common behavior across all OS and devices. This is not needed in those non smart, high end Barcode scanners which have a hardware based keyboard. For a software based keyboard this would be the natural behavior and need.

 

As an alternative, (a self R&D...) try using * as the default value in that field, to get the focus within the field. Am not sure this works, but a suggestion.
