Set Environment

The Set Environment window defines whether your device is operating within the live production environment or within the test environment.  This window allows you to toggle the environment currently being used by your device.

CAUTION:  In order to change the current environment, all data currently in the device database must be deleted.  A sync with the server must then be performed to obtain data that is suitable for the new environment.

You should not change your device's environment unless instructed to do so by your System Administrator.

Data Fields

• Current Setting
  Required.  Dropdown selection.
  Select the environment (live or test) under which this device is to operate.
• Last Order Number
  Required.  5 numbers max.
  Enter the last order number used for the selected environment.  The values tracked by the application are displayed in each environment's respective data field.  Only numbers are allowed (no spaces, no punctuation, etc.).
   
  CAUTION:  Changing an environment's last order number could result in any existing orders on the handheld being overwritten.  Changing an environment's last order number could also result in orders being interpreted by the server as duplicate orders.  You should not change these values unless instructed to do so by your System Administrator.

Actions

• Tap to save your entered environment settings to the database.  A message is displayed when the save processing has finished.  The Synchronize With Server window is then displayed.
  • Prior to processing a save request, the application checks for existing data in your device database.  f data is found, a message is displayed informing you that the data will be deleted.  You may then choose to continue or cancel the save.  If you continue, the application then checks for any data that should have been sent to the server (customer orders and customer edits).  If data is found, a message is displayed informing you so.  You may choose to continue with the save or cancel.
• Tap if you have made entries and you wish to have the entries ignored.  Normally you will be returned to the Functions Menu window; however, when the application is being run on the device for the first time, the next window displayed is always the Synchronize With Server window.
