Overview

 

An Operator is the person who uses devices to perform certain tasks (inventories, picking operations, etc.). Operators do NOT have access to the Admin or Site Dashboard.

There are two types of operators:

Non-Speech Operators - operators that do NOT have speech attributes and, therefore, cannot work with speech applications.

Speech Operators - operators with speech attributes, created to work specifically with speech applications. You can only create speech operators if the associated subscription includes speech services.

Operators are organized into operator groups which vary according to the location's internal structure (for instance, a "Day Shift" operator group and a "Night Shift" operator group) and/or according to their speech features (if they are speech or non speech operators). These two operator types cannot be in the same operator group. You must have different operator groups for speech and non-speech operators (ex: you can only include speech operators into operator groups with speech attributes).
