Notification System
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
This module ships standard with any install of DATASCOPE WMS as it is part of the software’s foundation system. It is a communication medium between all DATASCOPE WMS users working on PC or mobile screens.
The module allows an administrator to set up 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 can be scheduled to always 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 “Action required,” the software will expect a read receipt and an “action completed” step to confirm that the action has been processed.
When creating a new notification, a user can choose from the standard template list or create a new message from scratch. If a standard template is selected, the user adds the specific message. For instance, a user could choose the Cycle Count template and add a description like “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.
Other examples may include notifying a quality team to release an urgent pallet for outstanding sales orders. The notification can even tell users to log out for maintenance activity.
