Multiple Sites - Different MES customizations

Kinetic ERP
1

We are evaluating moving to Kinetic screens. We currently have different .sysconfig files to run different MES customizations based on Site. How will we accomplish this in the web browser? I’m only aware of the ?mode=mes …

After working on it some, I believe the answer is to give the different sites different shortcuts to connect to the Data Collection screens.

Adding &layerNames=<<layername>> into the URL will allow for the different layers to be used.

Did you already deploy the first layer using Menu Maintenance for PR000440 when you did this? Or are you opening the 2 separate layers using the layer in the URL. I am trying to deploy a second layer for different stations and it keeps defaulting to the one defined in Menu Maintenance.

I’m no longer at that company, but check the URL. I remember something about LayerName=......

You may be able to provide a link for the different stations with this method.

I was able to get the answer to this. You can modify the launchmodemes.jsonc and add an additional mode option. In this case I called it custom and then I was able to define the menu ID UDMES to launch a different layer than the one assigned by default to DC or MES
