Ultrasabers Lightsabers - IOS Application A Case Study Part 2

This article is the continuation of the Ultrasabers IOS application case study, we have seen the backend admin panel in the previous part and how the features/order tracking works. In this article you'll see how the app looks on the frontend side!

IOS Application

Splash Screen

Login Screen

Only users of the backend application (Admin or Employees) can access the iOS application, which is primarily designed for iPad compatibility, using their 4-digit iPad PIN number. This PIN number will be provided by the organization's admin. To verify that the iPad is a store iPad, we need to authenticate the device with a 16-digit secure key, which is used for first-time login after the app installation.

Without verification of the device, if the user attempts to log into their account using their iPad PIN number, an error message will appear indicating that the secure key must be verified and the application information cannot be accessed.

After the verification, the user can continue to login the app via iPad PIN number provided by the admin.

Home Screen

In the home screen, we have 5 sections in which the app user can perform Create order, Track order, Update Order status, Bulk Update orders and order History.

Home screen with Create order access

From the above screen, the employee with create order access has all sections on the home screen but the employee without create order access will not the create order section on app side. For admin users, all sections are available to perform the respective activities.

Create Order Screen

From this screen, we can create a new order with respective order numbers and the default order status is Printed. When we click the create order button the app will check if the order number exists in the application if its new then success message will shown else the error message will be shown.

All data will be synchronized across all devices in the store. Also, we handled the duplicate order creation and concurrent update scenarios in the iOS application.

Track Order Screen

From this screen, we can track the valid order number latest status change log like the below screenshot. The information on the result page is given order number and status name, last update user and last update date and time.

In the Update status dropdown only allowed statuses are visible for employee users and for admin users, all statuses are visible for the updation process. Once selected the respective status if the user clicks the "Save changes" button and the computation is done and redirected to the result screen from where we can see all the status update for the particular order number.
