Web Apps Bookmark Configuration

Web Apps holds a list of web pages that open on the headset like any other application. You configure that list for a device or a group from your Ari Business workspace, under the Web Apps configuration tile.

Adding bookmarks one at a time

Select the Web Apps tile, add an entry, give it a name and a web address, and save. The name is what appears beneath the bookmark on the headset, and what the user says to open it.

An icon is fetched automatically from the site. If the site has none, a default icon is used.

Configuring several bookmarks at once

The Advanced view of the same tile holds the configuration as JSON, which is quicker when you are setting up many bookmarks or copying a list between workspaces.

The configuration is a single webapps array. Each entry takes three fields:

Example

{
  "webapps": [
    {
      "name": "Company Intranet",
      "weblink": "https://intranet.example.com"
    },
    {
      "name": "Work Orders",
      "weblink": "https://orders.example.com"
    }
  ]
}

An entry missing its name or its web address is skipped, and the rest of the list still loads. This is worth knowing when a long list comes back shorter than you expected on the headset.

When the change reaches the device

Web Apps picks up a new configuration as soon as it arrives, with no restart. If the app is open at the time, the list updates in place.

Using Web Apps on the headset

Say "WEB APPS" from My Programs to open it, then say the name shown beneath a bookmark, or say "SELECT ITEM" followed by the number on it.

A user can also add a bookmark on the device by saying "MORE OPTIONS" and then "SCAN CODE", and holding a QR code in front of the camera. Bookmarks added this way sit alongside the ones you configure.
