Term

Description

Template

Templates are pre-defined screen layouts that support integration efforts and ensure the best possible user-experience.

Template ID

Template IDs are unique identifiers for each template layout, that need to be set during the integration process.

(Template) Layout

(Template) Layouts define the general structure of the screen. Example: 2 or 3 fields.

(Template) Field

(Template) Field is a field/cell within the Layout. One Layout can contain one or more fields.

Field ID

Each field is referenced using a unique ID. The order of Field IDs should follow the western writing direction (primary: left to right; secondary top to bottom).

Header

Each Template field may contain a Header, which can be used as a description of the displayed content. Example: “Quantity”.

Content

Each Template field contains Content (data-points). Example: “165 pcs”.

Template naming logic

PG

X

Y

PG = ProGlove

Identifier of the company providing the template.

X = Number of Fields

X Describes the number of fields you can set for unique content

Y = Secondary identifier

The secondary identifier allows for special separation of templates with the same amount of fields.

A = Alternate

E = Error

C = Confirm

I = Information

Automatic font scaling

MARK Display automatically decreases the font size or breaks the text into several lines to fit it into the template fields.

Headers of template fields are never scaled, while content fields support auto-scaling.

MARK Display always tries to use the maximum possible font size for the template field’s content. If that does not work, a line-break is used before the font is scaled down to fit the screen.

This ensures that the largest possible font is used and the template size is utilized as much as possible. For line-breaks, it firstly tries to break on an empty space. If the text does not contain a space, it is broken after the maximum amount of characters.

Templates

Below, you can find the list of all available templates. (Field) IDs are displayed in purple boxes.
