Monitoring of the sequence by COREDINATE

As already mentioned, COREDINATE is able to monitor the correct sequence when scanning the control points on the tour. Whether you want to use this is up to you. In practice, it can be advantageous if your employees apply a certain amount of variety to the walkarounds in order not to be too predictable. You therefore have the choice between these two variants:

Sequence flexible

If you set this selection in the above table, COREDINATE basically does not care in which order your employees scan the checkpoints on the tour. Only the completeness is monitored according to the motto It doesn't matter in which order, the main thing is that everything is done. The employee can see on the smartphone which checkpoint on the tour has already been scanned, because COREDINATE counts up all completed points and colors them green:

Sequence mandatory

If you select the entry Swinging in the Sequence column when you create the respective checkpoint for the tour, COREDINATE not only monitors whether all checkpoints on the tour are approached.
In this case, COREDINATE also monitors whether your employees walk through the checkpoints in the order you want.

 

This can make sense if there is a deal route within larger objects or if the employees have to follow a sequence so that they are at certain places at certain times.
To monitor a sequence, at least two checkpoints with the entry Sequence Compulsory are required or the entry Advanced Sequence Behavior must be active, then you can also set only one checkpoint as Compulsory, the checkpoints before and after the compulsory checkpoint are then scannable in any order.
Within the control points with the feature Swinging, the sequence then results from the sequence in the list of control points.
In short, COREDINATE then expects your employees to walk the checkpoints in the exact order in which they appear in the walk list.
If a sequence is specified and the employee does not stick to it, but scans an incorrect checkpoint, the following message appears within the app on the smartphone:

 

Kontrollpunkte_meldung 

 

Your employee therefore knows exactly which checkpoint he has just scanned (here: gate) and which one it should actually have been his turn to scan (here: goods receipt). In this way, COREDINATE helps to correct errors even during the tour.

 

If you change the order, you can optionally reset or save it again App_Rundgaenge_speichern

Set a schedule

With COREDINATE, you can also specify when a tour can or must be completed. Thus, an exact time planning for individual tours is possible.
If you have created a new tour, Always executable is always automatically stored in the time planning.
This means that the tour can be executed by your team at any time without any time constraints.
The time planning is saved individually for each tour.

You can find it as follows:

Log in to the portal and open the tour overviewStammdaten_auswahl_rundgaenge

  1. Open the desired tour and there the section Timing.

     Rundgaenge_zeitplanung

  2. A tour can basically be executed at any time. If you would like to set specific times, please click on Create repeat rule.

  3. A wizard opens, with which you can conveniently set when and how often your tour should be executed.

    Note: If a tour is available e.g. from 20:00 and you have a follow-up time of e.g. 5 minutes, your employees should not wait until the last second to start the tour, because from a technical point of view doubles can occur in the portal. This means that the tour would appear once as Completed and once as Time expired in the portal.
