Hands-On Learning | Proximate Cause: Equipment Tracking and Pull Types
Pull Types
To take advantage of pull types, the first thing we are going
to need to do is define an alternate pull type. The system
defaults with the DEFAULT pull type.
Every user is defaulted to that pull type and every item is
defaulted to utilize that pull type.
Additional pull types may be added on the Pull Types page.
The Pull Types page in Latitude Web allows for adding,
modifying and deleting pull types.
1) Go to Main Menu Administration Item Maintenance
Pull Types. You'll see that several pull types have been
defined for this demonstration.
User Pull Types
Each can be assigned a specific pull type if desired or be
assigned the "DEFAULT" type. You can also build out
(assign) a list of their authorized pull types.
Let's review our user from the System Users page.
1) Go to Main Menu Administration System Configuration
System Users and pull up "USER04".
2) Click on the Access Rights tab where you'll see the "Default
Pull Type" field. Think of "DEFAULT" as behind the scenes.
There is a new tab called Authorized Pull Types. This screen
displays which pull types this user has access to.
As you can see, this user has access to AS, FK, and
DEFAULT.
Item Configuration
Items now need to be configured to utilize different pull
types. This is set at the item branch level.
1) Navigate to the Item Branch Maintenance page by clicking
on Main Menu Administration Item Branch
Maintenance.
2) Select the item "TELE 102" and review its pull type and pull
type sequence.
