Scanning in the App Suite

All Suite Apps have scanning functionality incorporated to make your life easier. You can scan barcodes and QR codes for products, shipments, customer tags, etcetera.

There's basically two ways you can make use of scanning, either with the Apple scanner or with Scandit, which requires a license. There's also two ways for EVA to handle a successful scan.

Scanner provider configuration

There are two relevant settings when it comes to enabling your scanner:

• App:ScannerProvider which can be set to either appleScanner or scandit
• App:Scandit:LicenseKey lets you specify your Scandit license key

Apple scanner requirements

Only Apple devices with an A12 CPU are capable of using the Apple scanner. In practice this means that only iPhones which are >= XS model are suitable.

The way these two work together benefits from some explanation as well:

Setting combination	Applied scanner
App:Scanner:Provider is not set App:Scandit:LicenseKey is not set	Apple
App:Scanner:Provider is set as scandit App:Scandit:LicenseKey is set with no value	Apple
App:Scanner:Provider is set as scandit App:Scandit:LicenseKey is set with a valid key	Scandit
App:Scanner:Provider is set as apple App:Scandit:LicenseKey is set with a valid key	Apple
App:Scanner:Provider is set as apple App:Scandit:LicenseKey is not set	Apple
App:Scanner:Provider is not set App:Scandit:LicenseKey is set with a valid key	Apple

Action upon scanning

You can configure EVA to do one of two things when you successfully scan an item:

• Go to details
  • When you scan an item, the product will pop up and allow you to open its Product detail page
  • Configure by setting App:ScanTarget to 0
  • This is the default in both the Tasks and Loyalty App
• Add to basket
  • When you scan an item, it will be put in your basket
  • Configure by setting App:ScanTarget to 1
  • This is the default in the Checkout App

Choice of ProductID

You can change what kind of Product ID is displayed in the product modal.

Auto scan serial number

For setups that make use of Serial numbers, a setting can be set to auto capture the serial number along with the product SKU in one scan. The setting is called App:SerialNumber:AutoScan and expects a value true in order to activate (default is false).

Change scanner sounds

It is possible to change the scanning sounds for both valid and invalid scans from your iPhones Apple settings. Steps as follows:

• Step 1: Tap the Apple settings icon on your iPhone
• Step 2: Look for the desired Suite App and tap
• Step 3: Slide to the bottom fo the screen to the two fields called Valid Scan Sound and Invalid Scan Sound.
• Step 4: Tap the desired one(s) for a list of possible sounds to choose from.

note

Changing the scan sound for one App will change it across all Suite Apps.
