MEGATHREAD Target myDevices

[Lazy]

Receive is in the works. I saw the app on a picture of a myDevice floating around here somewhere. myFA will probably be dead once they shift everything in that app to the Zebra.

There working on myfa.... Not sure if they will keep the name

Does anyone know when the Move rollout will officially take place? I had heard rumours of early 2018. At my store, the OPU & SFS team is using it, but it doesn't yet have the option for pulling batches. Most of our PDAs are nearly at the end of their lives.

We were told we were getting it months ago, we had a deadline to tag all of the backroom vehicles, and then the rollout just kept getting pushed back. Last I heard was early 2018.

Question: is “receive” or “myfa” on zebra? If not, are they working on it?

Receive is not, but it is being worked on. I believe @tmap98 has it being tested at his store. The picking and packing functions of myFA are on the Zebra. All other functions (including order inquiry) are still only on the PDA.

No clue. My store has been using Move for awhile now; it works for everything except EXFs. I like using Move to pull autofills and CAFs; the item photo feature alone saves so much time you have no idea. However, I suspect it's one reason why our BRLA score is in the tank because people go to a WACO, eyeball for the item and then M-delete without scanning (because if you already know the thing you want isn't there, why scan?). I don't think everyone (well, non-heavy duty BR people) realizes that you create serious errors that way.

There's a report on store reports that has something to do with errors caused by hitting all items scanned.

Do you know what the report is called??

I'm pretty sure it's literally "Move - All items scanned errors" or something close to that. Open store reports, ctrl+f, type "move -" and you should find it.

Move also sometimes doesn't actually pull the items out of location when you pick them, which is pretty interesting.

We just had that problem... Called csc which did nothing.... STL emailed GVP which emailed ppl in the US. They called me and it was fixed within 3 hours. They had to reset the backroom server.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Does the same thing on a price check on my work.

 

[PackAndCry]

Anyone lately have myWork take almost a minute(s) to load the 'x on floor, x in back (x on hands)' and 'Backroom Details' page? It's super annoying and seems to affect every myDevice and team member.

I thought I was the only one! So frustrating.

 

[IWishIKnew]

Sometimes I think the wifi sucks at my store and it can't connect with the mothership. I usually see little up/down arrows over the wifi signal icon and find if I wait for those to go away and retry it will work better that way.

 

[LUNCHpod]

Why is the Learn@Target app only accessible by team leads?

 

[IWishIKnew]

What is that? Learning, obviously, but I can think of many ways that could go.

 

[LUNCHpod]

It should be accessible by every TM.

I tried and it wouldn't log me in, but it lets TLs login fine.

It's just the training from Workbench on the MyDevice.

My Zebra kept opening and closing an app (the launcher?) every time I went to the home screen today. It just seemed to slow it down a lot.

Also, does anyone have any Zebras that say "Verizon Wireless" on the top left? I thought maybe it was supposed to be used with the devices that have the card reader attachment, but this one was a plain looking Zebra.

mydevices that have cellular backup would be amazing

That last zebras they sent us for sfs do. There also tc56 instead of tc51

 

[2nice2people]

If I'm in research mode it's ridiculous

 

[SFSFun]

Been using the TC56 for SFS pretty consistently now. The Verizon backup is nice to have, but it would probably be useless to have to actually use it. I only get 1 bar and the 4G symbol only shows up in the break room. The Target app is annoying on that one as well. It pops up a login page every single time you open or toggle into it.

 

[SFSFun]

Do any of the target internal apps work on the backup? I would assume the backup wouldn't provide intranet access.

I can only assume so. Otherwise it would be even more useless. Haven't tried messing with anything yet, just posting observations from normal use.

nope. I thought they used sprint.

No. Why? We had one malfunction and lock its log in to Target Guest wifi. None of the apps other than Browser work on it.

not all of them do. From what I am gathering, you have to be in the service area.

 

[dannyy315]

I have to say, I find myself using my personal phone with the target app more and more to help guests. The zebras are very glitchy.

 

[IWishIKnew]

Me, too. Until the myWork search is smart enough to 1) list items available instore first, rather than some random-ass order requiring endless scrolling to find something that isn't "not sold here" and 2) allow for more natural search rather than exact match, it's pretty much useless.

The part I don’t get about how bad myWork is, is that I’m fairly certain it’s the same group that develops he Target iOS and Android apps, which are excellent at what they do.
