Screen templates

Use the below screen templates to enhance integration and your worker's workflow by optimizing the number of data-points presented on you MARK Display devices.

Terminology

Term Description
Template Templates are pre-defined screen layouts that support integration efforts and ensure the best possible user-experience.
Template ID Template IDs are unique identifiers for each template layout, that need to be set during the integration process.
(Template) Layout (Template) Layouts define the general structure of the screen. Example: 2 or 3 fields.
(Template) Field (Template) Field is a field/cell within the Layout. One Layout can contain one or more fields.
Field ID Each field is referenced using a unique ID. The order of Field IDs should follow the western writing direction (primary: left to right; secondary top to bottom).
Header Each Template field may contain a Header, which can be used as a description of the displayed content. Example: “Quantity”.
Content Each Template field contains Content (data-points). Example: “165 pcs”.

Example

Template naming logic

PG X Y
PG = ProGlove
Identifier of the company providing the template.		 X = Number of Fields
X Describes the number of fields you can set for unique content		 Y = Secondary identifier
The secondary identifier allows for special separation of templates with the same amount of fields.
A = Alternate
E = Error
C = Confirm
I = Information

Automatic font scaling

MARK Display automatically decreases the font size or breaks the text into several lines to fit it into the template fields. Headers of template fields are never scaled.

MARK Display always tries to use the maximum possible font size for the template field's content. If that does not work, a line-break is used before the font is scaled down to fit the screen.
This ensures that the largest possible font is used and the template size is utilized as much as possible.

For line-breaks, it firstly tries to break on an empty space. If the text does not contain a space, it is broken after the maximum amount of characters.
