Overview

The Data Entry screen is used to manually enter data such as downtime reasons, the active part number, good and scrap part counts, or to just trigger events such as sending an email.  The data entry interface can be run within the DataXchange application, an iPad or a tablet.  The device running the Data Entry interface does not need internet access to enter the data. This allows the device to be secure on the shop floor.

When using the Data Entry screen within the Windows DataXchange application, it will automatically connect to the service listed under the Manage - DataXchange tab as well as pass over the credentials you used to login.  If there is more than one service listed, you will need to define the service you would like to connect to. You can do this by entering the configuration menu in the upper right side of the application.  It is recommended to use a tablet that supports a resolution of at least 1280 by 800 or greater.

You will still be required to login to the iOS app.

Data Entry Architecture

All data entered from the entry interface is sent to a DataXchange Service and the data is processed by the Service. After the initial install of the DataXchange Client, the computers utilizing the data entry interface do not need Internet access.

Since the data is sent from the Data Entry screen to a DataXchange Service all of the data is processed by expressions providing all the power and flexibility the expressions have to offer.

If the DataXchange Service is not available then a message will appear on the Data Entry Screen notifying the user that the Service is not available.
