Client UI component - Entry and NumericEntry

How to set up Entry and NumericEntry components in Client UI

The entry and numericentry components can be used to add extra input fields in various modules within BxMobile. This is typically done to include additional information in an order within the ERP system. To achieve this, configurations must be made in Client UI, Export to ERP, and in some cases, SQL integration.

  1. Client UI
  2. Export to ERP
  3. SQL Integration (optional)
  4. BxMobile

1. Client UI

In BxAdmin, under the Client UI section:

  1. Click Add to create a new field.
  2. Enter the correct Screen name (see reference list). In this case, use PickingList.
  3. Enter the Field Name.
  4. Click Confirm when finished. 

Field Configuration

Once the field is added, adjust the remaining columns:

Screen Pre-filled when the field was added; can be adjusted if needed. For this setup, PickingList and PickingMenu are correct.
Name Field name, e.g., Linje/tallinfo.
Enabled true (enabled by default, can be toggled on/off).
Source Field Fields to pull data from (e.g., information and numberinformation).
Visible true (ensures the field is shown).
X-pos 1 (places the field on the far left of the screen).
Y-pos 4 and 5 (places the fields in lines 4 and 5 on the screen).
Width 3 (covers the entire screen width).
Height Not relevant.
Component entry and numericentry
Label "Info" and "Numbers" (names shown in the UI; should be concise and fill within the column width).

Prefix for Source Fields

  • If the field should send or retrieve information from an order line/item line, prefix the Source Field with lines.
  • If the field should display a header value in the Pick or Recieve module, no prefix is needed.
  • You can also assign the field to a specific profile if multiple profiles exist, ensuring that only the relevant users can see the field.

2. Export to ERP

In the Export to ERP section:

  1. Select the correct export type related to the module the fields are set up for. In this case, select pickinglist create.
  2. This setup is integrated with VismaNet, so the destination fields will differ if configured for another ERP system.
  3. Ensure that the Source Field includes the lines prefix (as defined in the Client UI setup).
  4. Enable Ignore Zero to prevent sending empty data when the field is not filled in.

3. SQL Integration (optional)

SQL Integration is not required if the fields are only meant to add data to an order from the terminals. Skip this step if it is not relevant.

However, if data retrieval is necessary:

  • The Info and Numbers fields should be added to the order line query as information and numberinformation.
  • In this example, the information is hardcoded directly into the query. For real use cases, retrieve the desired fields dynamically to fetch the correct data.

4. BxMobile

Once everything is correctly configured in BxAdmin, and settings/data (depending on the module) are synchronized with BxMobile, the fields should appear in the UI as expected.
