Notification System

This module ships standard with any installation of DATASCOPE WMS, as it is part of the foundation system of the software. The module is a communication medium between all DATASCOPE WMS users on PC applications or mobile devices.

The module allows an administrator to configure predefined templates with set headings and suggested contact lists. For instance, a notification template could be set up for all Cycle Count notifications. This template could be named “Urgent Cycle Count Request” and scheduled always to message a standard list of users.

Notifications are flagged as “read-only” or “Action required.” If the Notification is read-only, then the software only expects the user to open the message and read it. However, if the user is flagged as “actioned required,” the software will expect a read receipt and an “action completed” step to confirm that the action has been processed.

When loading a new notification, a user can select from the standard template list to generate a new message on the fly. If a standard template is selected, the user adds the specific message. So, as an example, a user could select our Cycle Count template and then add a description of “Please urgently cycle count bin 13G27D as we have a discrepancy on stock count A100 in that bin”.

This message will appear in every contact's notification inbox.

Some other examples may be to notify a quality team to release an urgent pallet for outstanding sales orders, or the notification can even be used to tell users to log out for some maintenance activity.
