myStore - For the myDeviceless TM

[Mikuhl]

I have created an app similar to myWork for Team Members who cannot access a myDevice, or only need information from myWork occasionally, but not enough to occupy a myDevice their whole shift.

I also added a few tools, like barcode generators, for cart and location labels.

I do not have access to the Target Developer Portal, so I cannot get the full locations, just their aisle and section. Also the API tries to override some searches with words like "deals" or generic terms like "gift cards" or "christmas" which sadly will return no items.

Hopefully some day I will be able to access the the official API's, to remedy these quirks.

Here are some screenshots, click to enlarge:

It pops up previous searches I think, but i find myself looking up spelling for items on google often.

@tmap98, input please.
Careful spot will catch on the op.

 

[JamesJames]

I was literally just starting to make an app. You saved me about an hour and a half. Your awesome!

If you have issues with Spot contacting you and wanting to take it down, lmk

Also a GitHub would be great so others (basically me) can contribute!

I suggest you both research Tmaps apk that he made. He made one here and you can read the thread.

There's no issue here since it doesn't use any Target developer APIs, it's all public data.

The links were removed from the thread.

@Formina Sage, the op is copying the idea from tmap. His issue is getting through the developer thing. Ck the op posting back in May 2018 & you will see what I am talking about.

 

[Mikuhl]

The idea was all his, as the title suggests. I just found it unfortunate that he had to take it down, as so many people found use of it. He actually got hired to work on myWork, so it wasn't anything bad just they probably didn't want conflict of interest. I would love to hopefully get access to the Developer API to make this even better for you guys! So I do hope they actually see this to show what Team Members can do if they open their API to them!

The problem is if you get non-public API access it immediately becomes something target can shut down.

The business last I heard won't allow non guest facing applications on the app store.

there’s a target driver app for the same day delivery (non shipt) that’s active in major cities.

That’s a non guest facing app. Walmart and amazon aren’t afraid to do it, we shouldn’t be either. Guests just don’t use those apps because they require authentication.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

That's got a monetary business case behind it.

Well my point still stands about Walmart and amazon. They both do it and are doing pretty well for themselves

 

[Spitfire]

Do what you wish.


I am working with a team of engineers to bring some functionality into a new app for store, DC, and HQ TMs.
Unfortunately for you at the stores, it would mean enrolling your phone into AirWatch, but that's as good as it's going to get unfortunately. The business last I heard won't allow non guest facing applications on the app store.

I have AirWatch. Is there a beta I can get my hands on? DM me?

I'm thinking of adding a menu to create your own cart codes and location labels.

 

[Mikuhl]

I tried to give the ability of selecting the variations to solve the grouping problem, but sadly Target always gives you the group parent of the DPCI you request. @tmap98 save me...

Cart and location codes would be awesome!

My store number will not come up in the list

That is strange, is the store number not a usual 4 digit one? Try typing the store name as it shows on the target website. If you can PM me the number too that would be cool.

It worked with store name, but not number by using search. T*** didn't do it.

 

[Mikuhl]

Oh, you have to search without the T, that is why

Under Accessibility app? Or under the menu where you change keyboard color

I’ve also noticed some with swipe typing enabled, which I've found to be easier than typing the letters one at a time.

Changes:
Added cart and location barcode generators
Put the description and features into drop down boxes

Working on it: (Would love that official API @tmap98)
Added the color/size selectors to items with color/sizes, sadly this does not work yet due to how the Target App API works...
