11.7.1
  • HxGN OS integration: Digital Work does not go through IONAPI but follows direct SSO integration like base EAM. This means it cannot be added as a QR code icon under the Desktop and Mobile Applications menu inside the Ming.le application. However, the user can go into the base EAM QR Codes Setup screen to setup QR code for easy login by providing the tenant and server information.

  • Login Install Parameters: Digital Work uses the LGNEAM install parameter rather than LGNMOB.

  • User Defined Fields – Quick Filter: For UDF’s to be visible in the quick filter of Digital Work, it must be available in the base EAM layout.

  • Layout of cards: Screens which have multiple tabs have a fixed layout of tabs and cannot be moved around. Fields and section headers within a tab can be screen designed using the special Screen Designer for Digital Work screen in base EAM.

  • Section headers: In base EAM the section headers can be collapsed or expanded. This is not the case with Digital Work. The section headers can either be made available or hidden using the Screen Designer for Digital Work screen in base EAM.

  • Filtering Custom Fields: The custom fields are always available in the quick filter, unlike in base, where the user must load them by clicking on -Click here-. The custom fields are displayed below the label "--Custom Fields--".

  • Summary Grid: The fields displayed in the list view, are ALWAYS the "Mixed" view fields (Split View Display = "Mixed"), as set on the ‘Screens’ screen in base EAM, i.e., the Code field followed by Description will always display as the first two fields in the summary grid, along with three other fields, determined by the grid field order set in base EAM. The next three fields after Code-Description will not be Date/Time or Checkbox fields, just like base EAM. So, a total of five fields will be displayed in the list view summary grid.

  • Color Icons: Color icons are supported on the list and record view, based on the setup done on the System codes screen in base EAM. The following entities have color icons show up in the list and record view: In the record view, it appears at the field level in card view:

    • EVST (Work Order status): On the Work Order screen

    • JBPR (WO Priority): On the Work Order screen

    • PWRS (Risk): On the Permit to Work screen

  • Color icons for classes are also supported for the following screens currently in Digital Work. If a color icon is configured for classes on the Classes screen in base EAM it shows in Digital Work:

    • OBJ (Equipment): On the Assets/Systems/Positions screen

    • PART (Part): On the Parts screen

  • Language Settings:

    The device’s language is set in Digital work when the user logs in (i.e., after fresh install/update of the app). The ‘Login’ and ‘Settings’ form’s labels will be presented in the language set on the device. English will be set, if the device language is not one of the supported languages in base EAM.

    • For iOS, language is set separate from locale (called as ‘Region’ in settings)

    • For Android, locale and language settings are the same i.e., locale determined by the selected language

      After logging in, the EAM locale (server) language will ALWAYS be used in all places, including the login and settings form

  • Locale Settings:

    • Date and Number Fields on detail screens are always displayed in the EAM locale coming back from the server.

    • Number and date Fields on insert/edit forms and data spies (or anywhere else numbers and dates are entered/inserted by a user) are displayed in device format. This means:

      • Decimal separator from device locale.

      • Group separator from device locale.

      • Negative symbol "- ".

      • Group digits 3.

  • When entering a number, the following keyboards are be shown in their respective operating systems:

    iOS: Numbers and punctuation keyboard with numbers across the top and symbols below

    There is no number pad in iOS that has both decimal and negative symbol.

    Android: Full keyboard with numbers on the top

  • Show Toolbar on Load and Extras Toolbar: Checking the Show Toolbar on Load check box on the Settings menu always show the Extras Toolbar on loading a screen. This toolbar is visible in all places in the device where a dataspy/search bar exists, such as list views, lookups, and tab’s list views. This is always turned ON by default at the user level for the device, but can be turned off if needed.

    This Extras Toolbar can be expanded/collapsed by touching the ‘Caret’ icon, next to the search bar.

  • Barcode Icon: Used to scan a QR code or barcode with the device’s camera. When scanning the value, is returned within the dataspy search bar and the results are queried automatically (if any). This is a standard search done within the dataspy. For example, it contains the search on the summary grid fields if no filter is applied. If a filter is applied on the dataspy search and the Filter field type is Date/Time, Checkbox, or Drop-down, then the barcode icon is not available, indicating that the search can only be done by manually typing in the values inside the search bar.

  • HTML Comments: Comments which are entered in base EAM, with the HTML editor turned on (i.e., HTMLCOMM = ON), will be displayed in Digital Work, as read only anywhere comments are supported. The user can only view/delete the comment and close the popup. Embedded videos within the comment’s popup will play inside the popup. If an external link is opened, like a video or a web page, it will render within this comments popup/tab. The HTML editor is not supported

  • Multi factor Authentication: Third party multi factor authentication is supported, when entered on an external website. This means the internal EAM MFA flow is not supported – i.e., the MUTLIFAC install parameter.
