In Shop Floor Mobile, you control how operators log in through the Mobile Flow User Setup. A field called Allow PIN Code Login lets you decide whether a user signs in with a resource number, a PIN code, or both. This is useful when you do not have a fixed resource and want flexibility for the people working on the shop floor.
If you do not make a password mandatory, the user can log in with just a resource number. When you enable Allow PIN Code Login, the login screen accepts either the user code or the PIN code, so the operator can use whichever is easier.
Where to find the Allow PIN Code Login setting
The setting sits on the Windows user in the Mobile Flow User Setup. There you will find the field Allow PIN Code Login. The behaviour depends on whether you check it and whether a password is required for the user.
How login works without the checkmark
If the checkmark is not set and the password is not mandatory, you can enter Shop Floor Mobile using your resource number. The login screen shows the prompt to state the user code. In this case, entering a password has no effect, because the system is not asking for one.
How login works with the checkmark
When you set the checkmark for Allow PIN Code Login in the Mobile Flow User Setup, the login screen in Shop Floor Mobile prompts for the user code or PIN code. The operator can then sign in with either one.
This gives you a flexible way to set up exactly how people log in to the system, depending on what suits your shop floor.
