Currently, Drivers and Agents can create Task Items directly from the Driver App through the Code input feature.
This means that when the Driver scans an item barcode using the eLogii app, a new item will be created and automatically linked to the Task they are currently working on.
Configuration
To ensure that this option works seamlessly for you, please do the following:
Enable Code Input on Task level
To enable Code input, navigate to Configuration ⇒ Task Actions (POD). Under Task actions (or Pickup Actions if your Drivers need to create Items as a part of the Task pickup), select the Barcode input option from the dropdown menu. Once you do this, the option to Create item for code needs to be enabled. Click Save to apply changes.
Please note that this change will not affect any Tasks created before this action - they will retain their original POD actions. Only tasks imported after the Code snippet action was added will have it as part of their Task actions.
If you don't see the Barcode input option in your Task action list, please get in touch with your Success Manager or eLogii's support team.
How does this work in the Driver App?
Once the Driver gets to the Proof of delivery portion of their Task workflow, the Code input option will appear, and they need to select that option.
Once they do this, their phone camera will open in-app and they will be able to scan the item barcode.
Once the code has been scanned successfully, it will appear on the screen, and the Driver needs to confirm the action by tapping Save.
After a few seconds, the scanned item will appear within the Task. The Item name will contain the barcode that was scanned, so Drivers will know which item it is.
Drivers can scan and add multiple items to a Task by tapping the Code input button each time they want to add a new item and repeating the process.
After adding all necessary items and capturing any required Proof of Delivery, Drivers can tap the Finish button to confirm and complete the process.
Item location in eLogii
Items added using the Code input are located in the same place as regular items: under Tasks ⇒ Task Profile ⇒ Items.
These items will include both the eLogii-generated UIDs and the scanned codes used during their creation.
Additionally, the Task History section will display the code input action that created the items.
