In Sterling WMS - How to increase Text Box size in RF mobile screen?
Answer
Sterling RF screens are designed for 8X20 (rows x columns). In some cases, especially when using locales other than English like Japanese, Chinese etc the text box in RF may not display all the characters. The RF text box can be enlarged to show full description on the mobile screen, provided the RF mobile used at user end is capable of showing more than 20 characters.
On any mobile screen user can hit F1, it shows the details of resource id and form name which can be used to identify the corresponding JSP or html page and customize it.
For example, if receiving screen has to be extended to increase the location id box size, frmReceiveIntoLocation.html needs to be modified. This can be done with following steps:
1. Create a copy of “frmReceiveIntoLocation.html” available in %YFS_HOME%\template\mobilescreens\rfreceive, paste in the folder %YFS_HOME%\template\extn\mobilescreens\rfreceive
2. Modify the frmReceiveIntoLocation.html in the extn folder (%YFS_HOME%\template\extn\mobilescreens\rfreceive) to increase the LocationId text box size.
Sometimes modifying the size in html page only reflects the change in IE browser but not in emulator or actual mobile screen.
In such cases UITType Size for the corresponding DataType in YFSDataTypes.xml (yfs_home --> template --> api) has to be changed. The corresponding data type for an entity can be found in yfsdatatypemap.xml.
E.g.
- DataType for location is LocationId
- DataType for Pallet ID is UCC128
The UITType size for data type LocationId can be increased YFSDataTypes.xml to achieve the requirement. This requires to rebuild the deployment files and restart the application server.
If the description still falls out the of the maximum size the mobile screen can show, the users have to drag and extend the corresponding column and use the scroll bar to view the full description.
