Ordering App
Settings for the mobile ordering app: modules, offered transport types with multilingual labels as well as display and behaviour options.
The "Ordering App" settings area is deprecated and is no longer supported.
In the Ordering App settings area you define which functions the mobile ordering app offers and how it behaves towards the orderers. The settings are made by administrators of the respective group and apply to all persons who create orders via the ordering app.
The configuration is divided into two areas: the Modules and transport types as well as the Display and behaviour options. All changes are applied via the «Save» button.
1. Modules and Transport Types
In this area you activate the available modules of the ordering app and determine which transport types are offered to the orderers for selection.
Activate Modules
The individual modules of the ordering app can be switched on and off via checkboxes:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Trading | Activates the trading mode of the ordering app. This option is only available if the trading module is unlocked for the tenant. |
| Order | Activates the ordering function (WebOrders) of the ordering app. |
Note: The «Trading» option is only displayed if the corresponding module is unlocked. If the module is not active, the option remains hidden.
Configure Transport Types
You define which transport types are offered in the ordering app. For each offered transport type you store a label in the languages German, English, French and Italian. These labels are displayed to the orderers in the app according to their configured language.
| Transport type | Description |
|---|---|
| Pickup | Allows the transport type «Pickup» to be offered. When activated, you enter the multilingual label (German, English, French, Italian). |
| Delivery | Allows the transport type «Delivery» to be offered. When activated, you enter the multilingual label (German, English, French, Italian). |
How to configure a transport type:
- Activate the checkbox of the desired transport type (Pickup or Delivery).
- Enter the label in all four language fields.
- Save the setting.
Note: The labels of the activated transport types are mandatory fields and are checked when saving. If a language label is missing, the setting cannot be saved.
2. Display and Behaviour Options
Using a series of checkboxes you control which information the ordering app displays per order and how it behaves. Activate or deactivate the desired options and then save.
| Option | Effect in the ordering app |
|---|---|
| Show goods symbol | Displays the symbol of the goods per order. |
| Show date only | Displays only the date for an order (without time). |
| Show only relevant address | For an order, displays only the address relevant to the respective transport type (pickup or delivery address). |
| Activate geocoding | Activates the automatic determination of the geocoordinates for the entered addresses. |
| Show loading aids | Displays the loading aids of the order. |
| Show specialization | Displays the specialization (special requirements) of the order. |
| Show documents | Displays the documents belonging to the order. |
| Show product image | Displays the image of the product. |
| Do not show «From» date | Hides the From date (start of the time window). |
| Do not show «To» date | Hides the To date (end of the time window). |
| Allow only one position per order | Limits each order to exactly one item position. |
How to adjust the options:
- Activate or deactivate the desired checkboxes.
- Save the settings.
The changed options affect all orders that are subsequently created via the ordering app.
3. Notes
- The settings of the ordering app apply on a group basis. Before editing, make sure that the correct group is selected.
- Changes only take effect after saving and become available to the orderers the next time they open the app or after updating the app.
- The display of the «Ordering App» area and of individual options depends on the modules unlocked for the tenant.
