Overview

 

The Applications sub-module relates to the uploading and viewing of applications.

In the MCL-Mobility Platform context, an application is a software tool that, once installed in a device, allows the operator to perform a task such as an "Inventory" or a "Picking" operation.

 

 

To access the Applications sub-module, click Applications button, in the Control Panel section, and, in the resulting row, select Applications Sub Module Button.
