Purpose
Boost your user productivity with the solution that lets users track and manage SAP processes via notifications like notifying the maintenance department about abnormal or exceptional activities in the plant area. Furthermore, tasks can be auto-assigned to individuals with all the required context and intelligence.
Liquid UI enables users to receive instant notifications on Android devices, allowing them to track and manage SAP processes. These notifications alert users when an action item has been assigned or pending work is waiting to proceed. For example, the maintenance department can be promptly notified of abnormal or exceptional activities in the plant area. Moreover, Automation Connections streamlines task assignments by automatically directing users to the relevant SAP screen with a single click from the notification.
For instance, plant maintenance personnel are notified after a work order is created and assigned, this significantly reduces the time required to start the operation.
Note:
- To send a notification, you need Liquid UI Notification service.
- To receive a notification, you need Liquid UI Enterprise license.
- Supported from Liquid UI Server version 3.5.567 and above.
- Supported from Liquid UI for Android version 2.0.33.0 and above.
