On Sunday evening, July 22^nd  at 10:00 PM Wasp will be rolling out some improvements to both our AssetCloud and InventoryCloud software. 

The servers will be down for a short period of time during the update. Then it will be intermittent for up to 4 hours. The apps will be updated in the app stores, so if your apps are not set up to automatically update you will need to  make sure you manually update them. 

We have made a lot of enhancements to both products, such as:  

AssetCloud

·         Ability to customize asset Disposal and Recover reasons and delete ones you are not using.  

·         Transaction history grid now shows department column.   

·         Ability to add custom asset conditions and delete conditions you aren’t using

·         When performing transactions on a mobile device when you scan the last field it will now process the transaction.

·         When searching for assets on a mobile device, exact matches will be shown first.

 InventoryCloud

·         REST API’s now available (beta)! Please see online help documents for usage.

·         Added context menus on view item list.  Right click on an item number and it will allow you to add, remove, move, check out, or check in.   When you choose your transaction it takes you to that page and drops the item down to the queue.  You will then need to click down on that line item it in the queue and enter in additional details about the transaction (such as quantity and location if adding, quantity if removing, quantity and location if moving, qty and customer if checking out).

·         Added a couple of new tabs for items.  There is now an Inventory tab that will show everywhere you have the item and quantities at each location.  There is now a history tab will show you all transactions for that item.  You can filter down the history tab to just show since a certain date or a certain type of transaction.

·         Made improvements to units of measure, such as changing the units of measure of an item when adding and removing inventory quantities. You previously could only do it with receiving and picking. 

·         Added the ability to go back into a pick order and print invoices, even if the pick order has been closed.     

·         Improved issues with date codes on the mobile such as scanning date codes and selecting them on a calendar.

·         Resolved an issue with selecting a due date upon check out with a mobile device.

·         Resolved an issue with the barcode scanner icon disappearing in certain situations on a mobile device.

And many other enhancements to improve overall functionality.  

Wasp Support will be closed Friday, March 30th and Monday, April 2nd for the holiday.

We will return and respond to tickets on Tuesday, April 3rd.

On Saturday evening, February 17th, 11pm Central time Wasp will be rolling out enhancements to both our AssetCloud and InventoryCloud solutions.

• New security settings that allow administrators to set password requirements for users in their database.

If you would like to report any issues click the "Contact Us" > "Get in touch" links at the top of this support page to submit a support ticket.

Over the last few days, some users may have received Low disc space errors when running reports on AssetCloud and InventoryCloud. Due to load balancing, this only affected some users, and was intermittent. Disc maintenance has been performed this morning, so the error should no longer occur. Please contact support at 866-547-9277 option 3 if you are still experiencing issues.

We experienced an issue where people with new tenant invites for both AssetCloud and InventoryCloud were not able to access their software.

This issue has been resolved and you should be able to go back to your invite e-mail and follow the instructions to log into your system.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Update Wednesday, November 1, 2017: version 7.1.2 of the MobileAsset app is available in the App Store, compatible with iOS 11+.

Update Monday, October 23: We are submitting the updated app to the Apple Store today. Approval usually takes 3-5 business days. If all goes well, it should be available by the end of the week.

Apple's recently-released iOS 11 requires that all apps are 64-bit. However, the current MobileAsset app (v7.1.1) is 32-bit, so it is not visible in iOS 11 and cannot be downloaded or run.

Wasp is working on a 64-bit version of the MobileAsset app and will release it to Apple's App Store as soon as possible. We hope to have this completed by October 22, 2017.

Customers who wish to continue using MobileAsset on iOS devices should not update to iOS 11 until the updated app has been released.

Customers who have already updated to iOS 11 but still need to run the 32-bit MobileAsset app may be able to downgrade back to iOS 10.3.3, following a procedure from Apple or other sources, found on the web.

Here's a Google search for ios 11 downgrade:
https://www.google.com/search?q=ios+11+downgrade&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Note: The iOS downgrade process is outside the scope of Wasp Tech Support.

Wasp Barcode Technologies  phone support and chat support services will not be available July 3rd and July 4th. Tickets created through the support website will be addressed beginning on Wednesday after the holiday.

Introducing our redesigned Wasp Support website and ticketing system.  The new site will include the same great resources with additional enhanced features, such as an improved search engine.

If you have issues logging into the new support site click the 'Need a password reminder?' link at the bottom of the Login screen.  This will give you the opportunity to reset your password.

In some cases we may have to recreate your account as a new account.  You can recreate the account yourself by clicking the Register button or you're welcome to give us a call at 866.547.9277 option 3 to have a Wasp Support Agent assist you.

Be assured that all 'Open' or 'In Progress' support tickets from our current ticketing system will still be accesible and worked to completion by our support staff.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to assisting you in the future.

Clocks settings Spring forward early March 12

The articles below can help you keep your WaspTime Time & Attendance software in sync for daylight savings time.

How do I apply daylight Savings Time

http://support.waspbarcode.com/kb/articles/390

Be sure the time on your Wasptime clock matches the time on the server with Time Sync Setup

http://support.waspbarcode.com/kb/articles/817

Daylight Savings Time Note

Be aware that your time clocks will NOT automatically update with the correct time for Daylight Savings Time, even if the PC where the service is installed does automatically update.  You must set up an alternate sync at the time of the change.  Usually the time change occurs at 2:00am.  If you have employees who will be working an overnight shift that spans 2:00am when the time changes, you will need to arrange to have someone change the time on the clocks by entering the correct time through Clock Setup. 

We have seen an increase in customers unable to communicate with their mobile devices in Windows 10. The machine appears to recognize the device being connected, but Windows Mobile Device Center does not.

With the update to Windows 10 and Microsoft's .NET Framework v4.6, there were some changes that affect the way we communicate with label printers, changing the size and position of label objects. Typically, this results in everything on the printed label appearing smaller than intended and shifted left or right until it is partially off of the label.

Windows 10 comes with .NET Framework v4.6 installed. The same issue applies to Windows 8.1 after updating to .NET v4.6, and in a few cases we have seen Windows 7 affected as well.

If you are experiencing this issue, please refer to this KB article for the solution:

Users of Apple’s OS X El Capitan operating system have reported issues with devices that communicate with their computer via USB or Bluetooth. This updated has affected a variety of hardware brands and some Wasp Barcode Technologies scanners are affected as well.

The USB communication in El Capitan is entirely different than previous versions of the OS X operating system. Currently there is not an immediate work- around or solution available, but our Hardware Developers are aware of the issue and we are actively researching and working towards a resolution.

In WaspTime 7 you can use the Time Sync Setup feature to automatically synchronize your time clock with the server's time over the weekend (after the time change.)  You also have the option to manually apply Daylight Savings Time to all timecards in WaspTime.

Whichever method you chose, you can be certain the correct time is displayed in your employee's timecards.

Refer to the following Knowledge Base articles for instructions on each method:

Be sure the time on your Wasptime clock matches the time on the server with Time Sync Setup

WaspTime : How do I apply daylight Savings Time

Here are a few tips that you might find helpful when searching the Wasp Knowledge Base 

1. Keep it simple.  One or two word search terms will return more results. 

Example: restore blank  Notice results for restoring a blank database. 

Add more words to fine-tune your results.

2. Use quotation marks to search an exact phrase. 

Examples: "wpl driver" or "delete employee" 

Keep in mind, using quotes may exclude relevant search results.

3. Try the minus sign "-" before words that you wish to omit from the search listing. 

Example: restore -blank  Notice, unlike the results in Tip 1 the occurrence of blank is not included in most results.

Another method would be to use Google's "site:" feature.  With Google's "site:" feature, not only will your search criteria return results found in article titles but the listings will also include occurrences found in attached documents. This can be useful to research all relevant content for your search.

1. Go to google.com and enter site:support.waspbarcode.com in the search field or click the following link:

Google Search

2. Next, simply add a space after the site:support.waspbarcode.com and enter your search criteria.

Example: site:support.waspbarcode.com restore

After the search is executed, notice the results listed below.  Steps 1-3 for the Wasp Knowledge Base can be used with Google as well.
