MEGATHREAD myDay app

[gracefulfillment]

something i think would be cool is implementing the RFID into the myDay app as a subapp.

Fun fact. Those big Zebra RFID things in the ceiling is actually used to locate items (in addition to a ton of other stuff). If you look up a NOP style item in the target app it actually gives you a vague location.

Having the find using RFID or find on map with your current location. i think would be a good idea.

and using the location to show where you are in apps like ePick would be helpful for new TMs

I thought ePick just used the department of the DPCI to approximate the location, because it's not just style items. Occasionally hardlines items aren't tied and it'll still show up in roughly the right area. I believe target discontinued the use of the RFID in the ceiling, which is why someone has to manually do the RFID scan every week.
Also, ePick already approximates your zebra's location based on which access point it connects to. That's how it starts your batch in the part of the store you're currently in.

How about a map for MyDay like the guest app

i thought the same.

so i tested it. two separate men’s clothing items and it gave me a vague location in the target app.

as for your location, it’s not constantly updating. i don’t exactly know when your location updates but it can be a location 4 hours ago or 3 seconds ago. Mickra works weird.

i thought the same until i saw the api in dev portal.

How do you get access to the dev portal? Also how did you test the app?

I always was told that data was from guests scanning items in the app.

N/A

I work in electronics so I have an email, therefore, I have access to APIs. I tried to test it but it gave me garbled info that I couldn't decipher. Regardless, I couldn't test it but if you look NOP items in your store using the target app, it will give you a location.

I guess the next question is, if I take an item and put it in a wrong department, will it show correctly on the map? My bet is no.

Hmmm. i wonder how long an item has to be there for it to update on the map. But i looked up two NOP items and technically it did give me a different approximate location.

Mickra is only useful for pinging a lost device so you can run around the store and listen for it. The location update timeframe is woeful.

Starting Tuesday they will sound if they aren’t signed in or charging for at least 3 minutes

It's been like that for a few months at my store.

Do any of the developers of myDay still visit this forum? Or anyone from HQ? Seems like there used to be so many of them around.

Not every store. They are also getting rid of the equipment logbook according to the post on workbench

Mine too. Though I thought it was 2 mins. Could be mistaken

My store was part of the pilot. Its nice to not have to have a log, but it signs you out every time it restarts/loses power. So if you have issues and need to restart or change your battery, you gotta sign back into everything again 🙁

Could be changing it to 3 minutes for every store. I think Reddit said it was 2 minutes before

Warms my heart to see this. It was originally in myWork. 😍

It's a nice feature. I didn't realize it wasn't company wide until people came from another store and didn't know why it was making noise at them.

Let us print directly to a HIP printer from price change

I do that.

I do that.

I asked an ETL and he didn't know how. Please tell me how to do that

It would help if we knew exactly what it is you want to do from price change.

Scan the old and print the new price label(s). From audits that come from the register adjustments

You need to be trained for those tasks.

I was but the person training me does it by leaving the price audit section to scan it and then print it. It's time-consuming. I got two devices when I did it after I did a few
