The LogTrade Ship app can be used to manage associations between different entities in the LogTrade IoL (internet-of-logistics) cloud, using QR scanning from the Ship app.
The system administrator in your account must enable this functionality in https://settings.logtrade.info before you can see it in the menu system of the Ship app.
From the LogTrade Ship main menu (the hamburger menu top left on mobile devices, or the left menu pane from larger devices), select Associations.
This leads to the Associations menu:
Three actions are available:
- Connect: Scan the QR code of two IoL entities to create an association between them (for example to define that a TradeUnit is stored on a smart pallet, or that a smart pallet are loaded onto a truck, or that a pallet is stored in a location).
- Disconnect: Scan the QR code of two IoL entities to remove the association between them (for example to define that a TradeUnit is no longer stored on a smart pallet, or that a smart pallet are unloaded from a truck or moved from a location).
- View: Scan the QR code of an IoL entity to list its associations to other entities.
Create association
This function enables LogTrade Ship app users to create an association between any two IoL entities that has a scannable QR code attached to them.
First, scan the QR code of the first (parent) IoL entity you want to connect:
A successful scan is confirmed by a notification that is visible a short moment:
Then, scan the QR code of the second (child) IoL entity you want to connect:
After a successful scan, you get a confirmation notification that an association between the two scanned IoL entities has been created:
Delete association
This function enables LogTrade Ship app users to delete an association between any two IoL entities that has a scannable QR code attached to them (provided they are associated).
First, scan the QR code of the first (parent) associated IoL entity:
A successful scan is confirmed by a notification that is visible a short moment:
Then, scan the QR code of the second (child) associated IoL entity:
After a successful scan, you get a confirmation notification that the association between the two scanned IoL entities has been deleted:
List associations
This function enables LogTrade Ship app users to find out what associations to other (child) IoL entities a scannable (parent) IoL entity have.
Scan the QR code of the IoL entity to find out what it is associated with:
A list of associated child IoL entities is then displayed:
Click on the delete icon on any of them to disconnect the association.
