Hi

Quick question about this one: is there some particular reason why we  
shouldn't use a handheld device in another type of facility?  For  
example, a retail store?

Same would hold true for PDAs and cell phones. I think they're trying to start
off with the code developed by Daniel - which was intended to be used in a
warehouse. No reason why it can't be implemented throughout OFBiz though.

Adrian,

Would you mind actually looking at the commit?  I'm referring to a  
commit which limited the list of available facilities to WAREHOUSE  
and am trying to find out if this is a good feature to have added or  
not.

Might this be better based on FaciltyRole instead of
Facility.facilityTypeId?

Si,

I've looked at the commit and also

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-531

Maybe we have a miscommunication. Your question is valid - handhelds COULD be
used in more places than just a warehouse. I think Anil and Jacopo are trying to
get something up and running quickly based upon previous work by Daniel - which
was for a warehouse.

I wasn't trying to be argumentative or anything, I was just trying to contribute
background information as to WHY it was committed that way.

Si,

I agree going forward we will certainly be using this in facilities
other than of type warehouse so I suggest we put it on the to do list in
terms of trying to find a sensible way of presenting the facilities with
out creating a large list.

I see Chris has suggested to use Roles but I've not looked into the
merits of that to really comment. Personally from a priority perspective
I'll be investing more time on the functional screens to try and get
some of those implemented and operating as this first facility selection
screen can be quickly and easily customised to suit users requirements
as is.
