Configure MES settings

Configure MES settings

Use MES settings to start scanning barcodes with your device camera, change your language settings, and configure your notifications.

Prerequisites

Enable camera scanning

Enable camera scanning to use your mobile device camera to scan barcodes. Devices with Android version 5.1+ or iOS 11+ support camera scanning.

  1. Access Settings from the main menu.

  2. Enable camera scan.

  3. Give permission for Cin7 Core to access your device camera.

Now you will see a Scan button to be displayed on all screens where items are picked. Click this to open the camera and start scanning.

Change language setting

Choose to view MES with United States English or United Kingdom English.

  1. Access Settings from the main menu.

  2. Select language from the dropdown menu.

  3. Click Apply.

Configure push notifications

Enable push notifications to be notified of important events within MES when you're not using the application. You will need to be online to receive notifications.

  1. Access Settings from the main menu.

  2. Go to Notification settings.

  3. Use the sliders to enable or disable each notification. The following notifications are available:

    • Production order released

    • Production operation started

    • Production operation suspended

    • Production operation resumed

    • Production operation completed

    • Finished output product received

    • Production order completed

    • Items picked for put away

    • Put away items completed

I am not receiving notifications

You will not receive notifications for tasks that you are performing (for example starting, completing, or suspending a task). Each notification is sent only once to the last logged in user, so if you are sharing the device with other people, only one of you will receive the notification.

If you are having problems receiving push notifications, please use the following steps to troubleshoot:

  • Check that notifications are allowed in your device settings for Cin7 Core MES.

  • Check if push notifications are enabled in Cin7 Core MES Settings.

  • Log out and log in to Cin7 Core MES again. You will need to perform this step any time the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
