Warehouse Management mobile app calculator

The Warehouse Management mobile app includes a built-in calculator that provides essential numerical entry and mathematical computation capabilities. It enables workers to perform calculations without leaving their current workflow.

The calculator supports the following features:

• Standard numerical input and real-time calculations.
• Long press the 9 key to enter negative numbers.
• Long press the decimal point (.) key to open the arithmetical operators menu.

Important

The long-press gestures require a press duration of at least half a second. Brief taps don't trigger the enhanced functionality.

Access the calculator

The workflow automatically shows the calculator when the worker needs it. For example, it appears when workers need to enter values for the following types of fields:

• Quantity fields: When entering item quantities during warehouse operations.
• Number-type inputs: As defined by the workflow configuration.
• Measurement values: When precise numerical input is required.

Basic input and calculator functionality

The calculator functions as a specialized numerical input tool with an enhanced interface. Workers can enter numbers using the numeric keypad and perform mathematical operations in real-time.

Arithmetical operators

The calculator provides access to four basic arithmetical operators. To select an operator, follow these steps:

1. Long press the decimal point (.) key on the keypad.
2. Select your desired operator (addition (+), subtraction (−), multiplication (×), or division (÷)).

Enter a negative number

To enter negative numbers in the calculator, follow these steps:

1. Enter the value using the numeric keypad.
2. Long press the 9 key on the keypad to toggle the entered value from positive to negative.
3. Continue with your calculation as normal.

Note

This gesture only works with the 9 key. It provides quick access to negative values without requiring a separate negative sign button.

Usage examples

Enter a quantity value

To enter a numerical value for a quantity field, follow these steps:

1. When the app requires a quantity input, it automatically shows the calculator interface.
2. Enter your desired quantity using the numeric keypad.
3. If you need to convert the value to negative, long press the 9 key to toggle the sign.
4. Confirm the entry to proceed with your workflow.

Perform a calculation when entering a quantity value

To perform a calculation when entering a quantity, follow these steps:

1. Enter the first number using the numeric keypad.
2. Open the operator menu by long pressing the decimal point (.) key.
3. Select your desired operator (addition (+), subtraction (−), multiplication (×), or division (÷)).
4. Enter the second number.
5. Press the equals key to view the result.
6. Confirm the entry to proceed with your workflow.

Troubleshooting

This section describes common issues and their solutions.

Long press gestures aren't responding

Problem: The long press gesture doesn't activate the enhanced functionality.

Solution: Make sure you're holding the button for at least half a second. A brief tap doesn't activate the gesture control.

The operations menu doesn't appear

Problem: The arithmetical operators menu doesn't display when needed.

Solution: Verify that you're long pressing the decimal point (.) key for at least half a second. Other numbers and function keys don't open the menu.

A gesture activates unintentionally

Problem: Enhanced functionality triggers during normal use.

Solution: Adjust your input technique to use brief taps when entering standard numbers. Reserve longer presses only for when you intend to use the enhanced gesture controls.
