Floor mode is a full-screen view of one order for a packing station. You scan the order or its parcel, pack it, and press a tile, its shortcut, or scan the tile's barcode. A large banner then says what happened and, when something went wrong, what to do. The tiles are your organization's [custom triggers](/automations/custom-triggers) placed **In floor mode**. Without any, floor mode still opens orders, but has nothing to press. ## Before you start * You need the **Orders** permission to open floor mode, and **Use buttons, shortcuts and barcodes** to press its tiles. See [Permissions](/automations/overview#permissions). * Choose the station you pack at with **Choose station** in the top bar, so that labels print there. See [Choose your station](/devices/choose-station). * A barcode scanner that types like a keyboard and ends each scan with Enter works without setup. You can also type an order number and press Enter. ## Open floor mode Open it in one of these ways: * On the **Orders** list, click **Floor mode** next to the title. * On an order's card, open **Actions** and choose **Open in floor mode**. Floor mode opens with that order. * Click **Choose station** in the top bar, then **Floor mode** at the bottom of the picker. * Open **Sales** > **Floor mode**. The top of the screen shows **Floor mode**, your station and whether it can print, and your name. Click **Exit floor mode** to go back to the order list. | Station status | What it means for labels | | - | - | | **Ready to print** | Labels print at your station. | | **The printer needs attention** | A printer at your station has a problem, such as no paper. Labels wait there until it is fixed. | | **Offline: labels wait there**, **Paused: labels wait there**, **Disconnected: labels wait there** | Your station is not printing. Labels go to it and wait. | | **Not connected yet** | The station has not been paired with its PC yet. | | **No station** with **Labels go where they usually go** | You have not chosen a station. Labels go the usual way; see [Automatic printing](/devices/automatic-printing). | Floor mode covers the top bar. To change your station, click **Exit floor mode**, choose it with **Choose station**, and open floor mode again. ## Pack an order The screen says **Scan an order**. Scan the order's number or its parcel's barcode (the tracking number), or type the number, such as `10486` or `#10486`, and press Enter. A parcel's number is looked for first; `#10486` always means order 10486. The order opens: its number and status, where it came from and who gets it, how it is delivered, its lines with SKU, shelf and quantity, and the buyer's note. Pick the lines and pack them. Under **At this station**, click a tile, press its shortcut, or scan its barcode. Each tile shows its shortcut "or scan its barcode". A tile for other statuses than the order's is greyed out; see [An order in another status](/automations/custom-triggers#an-order-in-another-status). The result banner appears above the order. See [The result banner](#the-result-banner). When the banner says the press is done, click **Scan the next order**, or simply scan it. ### Scanning The field **Ready to scan an order, a parcel or a trigger** has the focus. A scan is recognised wherever the focus is, because a scanner types much faster than a person; Omnilinker takes the code and puts the focus back in the field. * A trigger's barcode, which starts with `OL-T-`, presses that trigger on the open order. With no order open, the log says "Scan an order first, then the trigger." * Anything else is looked up as an order number or a parcel's tracking number. Scans wait their turn, so you can scan an order and then a trigger right after it: the trigger is pressed on that order once it has opened. Shortcuts work in the scan field too. ## The result banner The banner follows the press as it runs, step by step, and lists each step with what it did. | Banner | What it means | What to do | | - | - | - | | **Working on #…** | The automations are being checked, or a step is running. | Wait a moment. | | **“…” is done on #….** | Every automation the press started went through. | Click **Scan the next order**. | | **“…” didn't finish on #….** | A step failed or a run was stopped. The banner says why. | Click **Try again**, or **Hand to a person**. See [When a press fails](#when-a-press-fails). | | **No automation of “…” applies to #….** | The press reached the order, but no automation's conditions matched it. | Check that you pressed the right tile. | | **#… waits: its automations are held or paused.** | A run is waiting: the order's automations are held, or the automation is paused. | Ask the person who handles automations. | | **“…” on #… is waiting its turn. Don't press it again yet.** | Other work in the background is ahead of the press. | Wait: the banner follows it once it starts. Pressing again now could run it twice. | | **“…” didn't reach #… and won't run now. Press it again.** | The press didn't start within two minutes, so it never will: a label doesn't print long after you left the bench. | Press it again. | ### When a press fails * **Try again** runs the failed steps of the press again. "Trying again won't repeat what's already done": a shipment already created is not created twice. * **Hand to a person** holds automations on the order, with the failure as the reason, so nothing else happens to it by itself until someone has looked. The banner says "Handed to a person: automations wait on #… until someone releases it." The hold is shown on the order card; see [Hold automations on an order](/automations/runs-and-activity#hold-automations-on-an-order). Only the person who pressed can use these two buttons, and pressing is the only permission they need. ## Where labels print When an automation started from floor mode prints a label, the label goes to the station you chose in the top bar, if that station can take it. A shipment the press creates belongs to your station too, so a label the carrier sends later prints there as well. If your station cannot print the label, the label goes the usual way; see [Automatic printing](/devices/automatic-printing). A label that waits at a station, for example because the printer is out of paper, does not make the press fail. The header shows that your station is not printing. To print waiting labels elsewhere, open **Devices** > **Stations** and use **Send … waiting to …** on your station, or move the jobs on **Devices** > **Print jobs**. ## The scan log **What happened here** keeps the last 12 things done at this screen, newest first, with the time: * "Opened #…", or "Opened #… from the parcel's barcode"; * "Nothing here is called …" for a code that is not an order, a parcel or a trigger; * "No trigger here has the barcode …" for a trigger code you cannot press here; * "Pressed “…” on #…", then how it ended: done, didn't finish, nothing applies, waits, or didn't arrive. The log is kept only while floor mode is open. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
