The Draft Shipments APP is for users that add loggers to shipments. Following is user documentation for the Draft Shipments APP.
Login
When opening the APP for the first time the user will have to register by logging in with the username and password the user has in the Supply Chain Monitoring system. After logging in the user is saved in the APP and can therefor next time logging in just select the user and enter the password. Multiple users can exist in the APP for one device. To switch between users the CHANGE USER button should be clicked and to add a new user the NEW USER button should be clicked (see images below). If a user using the APP doesn't logout the user stays logged into the APP for 14 days and is then automatically logged out. It's recommended that if the device is used by multiple users that each user logs out after being finished with it.
Draft shipment list
When logged into the APP the first view displayed is the draft shipments list. If no draft shipments exist on the customer the list is shown as empty (see first image below). If there are any draft shipments they are listed in order of time created, newest on top (see second image below). In the list view in the APP the user can switch between draft shipments list and ready shipments list by clicking the tabs, DRAFTS and READY, on top of the lists below the title Shipments. Draft shipments that are made ready in the APP will immediately disappear from the draft list and appear in the ready list (see third image below).
Edit draft shipment
To edit any draft shipment from the list the user only needs to click a single draft shipment to open edit view of the shipment (see first image below). The only thing that can be edited or added to a draft shipment are loggers, single logger to any desired amount of loggers (draft shipments can have multiple loggers). Loggers can be added to a draft shipment in two ways, by scanning the barcode on the back of the logger or by manually adding it from a list (see second image below). The preferred way and fastest to add the logger is to use the Scanner method. Clicking Scanner will open up the Add logger view (see third image below). There the user can instantly scan the barcode on the back of the logger by clicking the scan button on the mobile device or by clicking Scan logger in the APP. The user has to make sure to point the scanner on the mobile device at the barcode on the logger. A red light will show on the device and when scan has finished the device will emit a peep sound. When the logger is scanned in, Scan logger shows the id of the logger and turns green stating successful scan. Description and reference for the logger can also be scanned if it's available in barcode format. If description and reference is not available in barcode format the user can skip and finally click DONE.
Description and reference can be manually added to the logger. In the edit view the user can click the logger to open Edit logger view (see first image below), there the two properties can be manually edited including the logger switched or cleared out to be added later. To save the changes to the logger the button SAVE & CLOSE is clicked, to remove the logger the button REMOVE LOGGER is clicked.
If any issues are with the barcode on the back of the logger the user can manually add the logger by clicking the Manual method when adding a logger. The view Select logger will then open with a list of all available loggers on the customer (see image two below). The user can then select the logger from the list, it's possible to search for the logger with the Loggers search input above the list (see image two below).
When loggers have been added to the draft shipment the shipment can either be saved (to be edited again at later time) by clicking SAVE & CLOSE or the shipment can immediately be sent to ready state by clicking SEND TO READY (see image one below). If the user want's to cancel editing the shipment then the back arrow top left can be clicked, a message will appear to notify the user that the shipment is not saved and all changes are lost if OK is clicked, the user should click CANCEL if he/she want's to continue editing the shipment (see image two below).
Side menu
The hamburger icon in the top left corner on the main screen of the app (see image one below) opens the APP menu, there the user can navigate between Shipments (draft and ready shipment lists) and Search (see image two below).
In the Search view the user can search for shipments in the pool of draft, ready, shipping, delivered and closed shipments (see image one below). Clicking draft shipments will always open up edit view. Clicking shipments in any other status mode will open a read view of the shipment with the same information as shown for draft shipments, Shipment name/reference, Origin, Destination and Loggers (see image two below).

User manual | Troubleshooting
Purpose
With the SCM app users assign loggers to draft shipments and complete draft shipments
Use Case
The SCM app comes in handy when a user creating a shipment does not have access to the physical loggers and therefore, cannot assign them to shipments. For example, if shipments have been created centrally in the Controlant software platform or through another system via an integration.
With the Controlant SCM app, a user with access to the loggers can assign them to a shipment before the logger(s) is turned on and placed with the product.
Hardware
SCM app is delivered installed on a hand held device with a built in bar code scanner.
Adding logger to a shipment using the SCM app
Step 1
Login to your Controlant account.
Step 2
Select the draft shipment that you would like to complete and assign one or more loggers to.
Step 3
Select "ADD LOGGER"
Step 4
Add the logger using the bar code scanner. Alternatively, you can manually select a logger from a list of registered loggers.
Step 5
The green checkmark and logger ID indicates that that the logger has been successfully scanned.
Continue to "Scan reference" and "Scan description" - you can skip this step and add this information manually later.
Reference and description will appear in a shipment detail view and on the logger placement sheet for the shipment.
Select "DONE" once you are finished adding a logger.
Step 6
To add more loggers to the shipment, select "Add Logger," and repeat Steps 3 through 6 above.
Step 7
If needed. To add more loggers repeat steps 3 to 6
Step 8
To manually add logger reference and description select the added logger and type in corresponding information then "SAVE & CLOSE"
Step 9
When you are finishing adding all loggers to the shipment and adding reference information, select "Send to Ready."
Step 10
