Changing package dimensions in Opter Terminal

When you scan a package in Opter Terminal, the dimensions of the package are displayed in the app. The dimensions can be changed by default, but you can set them to not be changeable. The setting must be applied for each individual scan direction. For example, it can be set so that the dimensions cannot be changed on arrival scans, but they can be changed on floor-check scans.

If you always want it to be possible to change all dimensions in Opter Terminal, you do not need to configure any of the following settings.

Tip

It is possible to choose whether to use weight correction when making changes from Opter Terminal or to save the changes as usual. If they are saved as usual, the price can be changed regardless of whether the change increases or decreases the price. For more information, see Weight correction.

Step 1: Open the Opter Terminal layout settings

Click on Settings > Mobile data > Settings mobile data.
Click on Edit, next to Terminal.Settings.

If Terminal.Settings does not appear in the list, click on an empty line in the Name column and select Terminal.Settings from the list.

Note:

If you have configured specific Opter Terminal settings for the terminal whose setting you want to adjust, the following setting must be applied for that terminal in the terminal registry, rather than in Terminal.Settings. For more information, see Separate Opter Terminal settings for individual terminals.

Step 2: Configure the setting for each individual scan direction

Terminal.Settings has a section for each scan direction in which settings can be configured:

<arrival> = arrival scan
<departure> = departure scan
<floorcheck> = floor-check scan
<damage> = deviation scan
<pod> = proof of delivery scan

Add the following row for each scan direction in which you want to prevent the dimensions from being changed.

Tag controlling whether dimensions can be changed in Opter Terminal

<editdimensions PAC_Depth="false" PAC_Width="false" PAC_Height="false" PAC_Weight="false" PAC_LoadMeter="false" PAC_Area="false" PAC_Volume="false" PAC_Quantity="false" />

Fine-tuning the settings

The dimensions can have two values:

true: the dimension can be changed in Opter Terminal.
false: the dimension cannot be changed in Opter Terminal.

If you want to be able to change one of the dimensions, enter the true value for that dimension instead of false.

PAC_Depth = Length, (d (m))
PAC_Width = Width (w (m))
PAC_Height = Height (h (m))
PAC_Weight = Weight (kg)
PAC_LoadMeter = Load metre (lm)
PAC_Area = Pallet space (pallsp)
PAC_Volume = Volume (m3)
PAC_Quantity = Number (qty)

If a dimension is deleted from the editdimensions tag, that dimension is considered to be true.

Tips!

Add the row in all scan directions and specify true/false as desired and it will be clear in Terminal.Settings which dimensions can and cannot be changed for each scan direction.

Example

The following example shows what it looks like in context. Note that we have allowed the Width dimension to be changed by entering true for PAC_Width.
