EWM Sign-In
Contents
Each operator that uses EWM must sign-in using their assigned Username and Password. This allows the EWM application to track each user, how long it takes to pick each order, and other information related to productivity.
The Sign-in process provides these benefits:
• Menu-item-level access controls similar to entrée and new Miscellaneous options feature.
•Use of the entrée Security Management System - This familiar interface will be used to create and change individual user accounts and assign permissions. •System Activity Saved to a Central Log File - With individual user accounts in EWM the basic activity in the system, including: all scan data, people sign into and out of the system, opening and closing documents for scanning, will now be tagged with the identity of the person who performed the action and saved in a central log file for use in reports. The Warehouse Manager Dashboard in the main entrée system is where you can view the current activity of your warehouse employees. See the Warehouse Manager Dashboard chapter for more information. |
|
•Easily Monitor System Activity - You can generate reports which will combine the data in the activity log with the data in the scan detail files to monitor system activity.

What is next?
If you will be using the touch screen to enter all your information then you can begin using EWM now. Proceed to review the Common Features chapter will provide you with an overview of key features found in the EWM application. The chapter includes: Item Information Panel Setup, screen buttons, Number Keypad Tools and Item Display Controls.
If EWM will use barcode scanners and/or Bluetooth enabled scales and printers then proceed to the Bluetooth Setup - Adding Scanners & Scales chapter. This step must be done so that your Bluetooth devices are defined and paired with the tablet to create the connections for scanning, printing and weighting.
