On the Serialized Logistics application --> Settings tab, you can manage the application-level settings.

  • You can set the default business channel for the application (if applicable). This setting is overwritten by the business channel setting of the warehouse.
  • You can provide an external GS1 Digital Link Resolver server URL (if applicable). When an operator requests electronic content by scanning a GS1 Data Matrix barcode of a pack in the mobile application, the application connects to the external GS1 Digital Link Resolver server. The server will redirect the user to an external website for product information.
  • You can provide a Scandit license key to use matrix scanning in the installed version of the mobile application.
  • You can control the access to the Admin UI for users with the "User" role.


The settings are optional and are strongly connected to certain business use cases. If none of them is applicable to your use case, you can leave the Settings panel in the default state.


Note: To access this page, the "Administrator" role is required.

Controlling the Access for Users with the User Role


You can customize the access to the Serialized Logistics application in the Admin UI for each user that has the "User" role:

  • The access is controlled on a tab basis. The tabs are organized in a tree view with selectable checkboxes. Access to the tab can be turned on or off. The application offers a default setting.
  • When a user has access to a tab, this means full access to that tab, including its child tabs with the following limitations:
    • Partner invitation is not allowed for a user with the "User" role.
    • For outbound orders, the user can only see the orders that have the source warehouse setting assigned to that user. Orders without the source warehouse setting are visible to all users. By default, all source warehouses are assigned to the user so the user can see all outbound orders.
  • A tab can contain a parameter that takes values from a page to which the user does not have access. In this case, the application offers the available values for selection but the user cannot manipulate the source page.
  • You cannot give access to the Settings tab for a user with the "User" role.


Procedure


1. In the Serialized Logistics application, click on the Settings tab.


2. On the Access Control for Users with User Role panel, find the user.


To search for a user, enter the email address in the search field.

  • The list of users is filtered based on the search criteria.
  • You can reset the filter by clicking on the Reset Filters icon.


3. Select the user to control the access to the Serialized Logistics application in the Admin UI.


The application displays the application tabs in a tree view with the current access of the user.


In the following example, the application displays the default access of a user. The tree view is not expanded for all parent tabs:



4. Customize the user access.

  • To give access to a tab, select the related checkbox.
    • For outbound orders, select the source warehouse to filter the orders that the user can view. Orders without the source warehouse setting are visible to all users.
      • Clear the All checkbox, open the Allowed source warehouses drop-down, and decide which warehouse(s) are allowed/not allowed by using the search field and selecting/clearing the checkboxes.
