Overview

The Visual Work Viewer page provides a visual look into the facility that you can use to monitor the progress of outbound activities. The screen uses a 3D rendering of the facility to help users see a real time view of the outbound work.

The rendering shows inventory that has been picked, packed, and staged along with outbound work that has not been started. Users can perform these tasks:

• inspect locations
• filter task activity
• review travel section status
• plan waves
• view wave progress
• generate replenishments
• change the order or the command priority

You can use the information gathered from this screen to correct issues that are delaying the picking process, assist in getting shipments to the dock on time, and manage the flow of outbound work in the facility.

To display a warehouse, the locations in the facility must contain coordinate information along with height, width, and length.

Use your mouse to manipulate the view. Use the mouse wheel to zoom, use the left click and hold the mouse to rotate and right click and hold or use the arrow keys to pan.

Use the icon buttons on the toolbar to re-center the view, reset all the display settings, and open the page in a new window.

The location is highlighted when you hover the mouse over locations; click to select a location.

The initial view shows all the locations associated with the default section of the facility. The selected menu option displays along the left side of the screen, while most of the rest of the screen shows the current facility.

Use the SECTION menu to select which locations are shown on the screen and are available while using the other menu options. Selections and functions used to interact with the facility also remain in the subsequent displays until you change the section or resets the filters and display. The list includes all the sections from the section table configuration for the warehouse.

Locations are positioned on the facility viewer map using a Cartesian coordinate system. Locations are shown in Facility Viewer based on these location configurations:

Field	Description
X Coordinate	The X Coordinate of the location. The X and Y coordinate of (0,0) is shown at the bottom left corner of the map. The X Coordinate increases as you move from left to right on the screen. This value must be provided as a positive whole number expressing the distance from the lower left corner.
Y Coordinate	The Y Coordinate of the location. The X and Y coordinate of (0,0) is shown at the bottom left corner of the map. The Y Coordinate increases as you move from bottom to top on the screen. Specify this value as a positive whole number expressing the distance from the lower left corner. The X and Y coordinates determine where the front center of the location is on the map. Be sure to match the specified units you with the units specified for item configuration and the location height, width, and length.
Z Coordinate	The Z Coordinate of the location. Use the Z coordinate to specify how high off the floor the location is. Specify this value as a positive whole number expressing the distance from the floor.
Length	Location length. The length and width determine the size of the location on the map. The location is drawn of the length specified starting from the X coordinate. Specify this value as a positive integer and not as a decimal.
Width	Location width. The length and width determine the size of the location on the map. The location is drawn of the width specified starting from the Y coordinate. Specify this value as a positive integer and not as a decimal.
Height	Location height. The location is drawn of the height specified starting from the Z coordinate. Specify this value as a positive integer and not as a decimal.
Level	Location level. Ground level locations are value 0 and the value increases as the level increases.

Use Visual Work Viewer to perform these actions:

• Determine what is picked and what is outstanding
• Inspect locations and tasks
• View work by travel sections
• Find outstanding material by wave
• View work by wave
• Identify over allocations and shortages, and generate replenishments
• Expedite picking
