Dimensioning Flow

The MD Client demonstrates typical dimensioning flows.

Successful Dimension In Range

In this scenario, dimensioning is successful while the parcel is in range.
  1. Dimension values are all zeros. The user selects
    Start Dimensioning
     and the Viewfinder becomes active.
  2. The user successfully captures the parcel in the Viewfinder. Dimensions and indicators display on the screen.
  3. The user selects
    Confirm
    . Dimensions, indicators, and control return to the calling app.
  4. The user selects the Refresh button to set the dimension values back to all zeros.

Successful Dimension Out of Range

In this scenario, dimensioning is successful while the parcel dimension is out of range. The parcel is out of range when the captured dimensions are either below the minimum specification or above the maximum specification.
  1. Dimension values are all zeros. The user selects the
    Start Dimensioning
     button and the Viewfinder becomes active.
  2. Dimensions are captured. Dimensions and indicators return to the calling app indicating that one or more measurements are out of range.
  3. The user presses Retry to try again or selects the Confirm button to continue.
  4. After measurements are confirmed, control returns to the calling app.
  5. The user selects the Refresh button to return to the Welcome screen and set dimension values back to all zeros.

Unsuccessful Dimension Time-Out

In this scenario, dimensioning is unsuccessful because a time-out occurs before dimensions are captured.
  1. Dimension values are all zeros. The user selects the
    Start Dimensioning
     button and the Viewfinder becomes active.
  2. Dimensioning time-out occurs. The dimensions are indicated as
    NoDim
    .
  3. The user selects Retry to try again or touches the Android Back button again to cancel dimensioning.
    • If the user selects Retry, the Viewfinder becomes active, and dimensioning starts.
    • If the user stops dimensioning by touching the Android Back button, the Welcome screen displays.
      NoDim
       indicators are returned to the app, indicating that no dimensions were captured.

Canceled Dimension

In this scenario, dimensioning is canceled by the user.
  1. Dimension values are all zeros. The user selects the
    Start Dimensioning
     button and the Viewfinder becomes active.
  2. The user stops dimensioning by touching the Android back button.
  3. The user selects Retry to try again or touches the Android Back button again to cancel dimensioning.
  4. Control returns to the calling app and the Welcome screen displays with all dimension values set to
    NoDim
    .
  5. NoDim
     indicators are returned to the app, indicating that no dimensions were captured. The app is notified that dimensioning was canceled.

Positional Feedback

In this scenario, the user is too close to the parcel.
  1. Dimension values are all zeros. The user selects the
    Start Dimensioning
     button and the Viewfinder becomes active.
  2. The user receives a notification indicating that they should move the device farther away from the parcel.
  3. The user successfully captures the parcel in the Viewfinder.
  4. The user selects the Confirm button. Dimensions and indicators return to the calling app.
  5. Control returns to the calling app and the results screen displays.
  6. The user selects the Retry button to set the dimension values back to all zeros.
