Custom Device Styling

As part of most implementations, we offer to style the mobile device closer to your needs. Typically, the standard setup of the application and styling results in your logo being displayed on the device, with most information displayed as required.

However, almost all of the application can be styled to some degree, in terms of size, colour, whether the items are displayed or not and in some cases position on the screen.

The most common styling elements concern the following:

• General
  • General colour scheme
  • Terms
• Job List
• Collections/Deliveries
  • Container List
  • Product List
• Services
  • Service Products

Note that you can configure or remove elements or add functionality to screens through the standard Site, Job Group and UDF configuration - see the following pages for more information:

• Site
• Job Groups
• UDF Configuration
• User-Defined Fields

General Colour Scheme

We can modify the general mobile device colour scheme to define the background colours for:

• Title bars
• Buttons

This can provide a more integrated colour pallet for your implementation

Terms

The style can modify and replace all messages, errors, titles, labels, buttons, tabs and text.

These terms can be defined in multiple languages if required, although we do not offer an in-house translation service.

All terms can be provided on request.

Job List

• 

  Job list

The screen displays a list of all the jobs, containing:

• Job Status (through background or border colour).
• Job Reference - configured to be one of the 5 references available for the job. The system will be configured to display the most appropriate job reference on this screen (and throughout the whole application).
  • Job ID - a unique identity of this particular job, assigned by the system when the job is created.
  • Job Code - typically the transport or general service reference for the job, which may be shared between any collections or deliveries of items for the customer.
  • Customer Reference - any customer reference associated with the transport reference.
  • SO Reference - a Sales Order reference.
  • External Reference - any external reference provided with the job when created.
