Microsoft Dynamics AX Production floor app is available in the Microsoft Windows App store
Along with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft has released the Windows 8 Production floor app that works with the product. This app is compatible only with installations of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 or later.
With the Production floor app, you have a mobile, actionable overview of the production jobs that need your attention today. You can quickly perform daily production tasks such as starting jobs, reporting jobs as finished, and registering breaks and absence. Large font sizes and input controls improve readability and make the app easy to use while you’re on-the-go.
Want to try it out? You can download the app from the Microsoft Windows App store https://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/cc07f817-e74c-48aa-86ad-1c0345fff989 and run it in a demonstration mode that lets you explore the features without a connection to Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Hi FredrikThx for the quick respons! :o)Could the server adress be something like this?: http://ax2012r3bred:82/MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif60/SFC/xppservice.svc - Anonymous

I can see you you're using a non standard port : 82, which is probably closed by your firewall. Please try the following:Open the link from your browser (on the machine where Dynamcs AX is installed). If it works you should see a page.a) If you can't see a page then something is wrong with your Dynamics AX configuration.b) if you can see a page please continue with step 2Open the link from the browser, on the device where the app is installed.a) If you can’t see a page then it is probably network security or firewall issue. - Anonymous

Hi,I had a little problem while installing the app. Actually, I tried to set up a connection to a server, it failed and then when I hit go back I got to a screen with two buttons connect or cancel, but neither worked and there is no way out, can't even go back to demo mode. Even uninstalling and installing the app diden't do the trick. I will probably try to remove the app data ..and see ..Does any one knows what kind of address (the server address) the app is waiting for? is it the complete service path ? And did someone actually tried and succeeded in connecting to a server ?Thanks - Anonymous

Hi all,I'm trying to make this thing work as well.It seems that I've been able to connect, since it lets me select the company in the connection settings and I can see all the companies that have been setup in AX.Apart from that, thou, it seems that it doesn't work. It doesn't retrieve the Production units from AX, or the resource groups. I can't login with my Time&Attendance enabled user in any way (Personnel number, badge id, nothing).Has anyone actually managed to use the app? I can't find any setting within the app to play with.Thanks,Iacopo - Anonymous

Hi,"Does any one knows what kind of address (the server address) the app is waiting for? is it the complete service path ?"The address you need to use comes from the HTTP inbound port that needs to added for the service. It looks like:http://SERVER_NAME:PORT_NUMBER/MicrosoftDynamicsAX41Aif/INBOUND_PORT_NAME/xppservice.svcif you paste this URL in the browser you'll see the "RoutingService Service" page - if you don't it means that there can be some configuration problem.Regards,Lukasz - Anonymous

We are currently working on a more detailed description of the configuration on the server side. However, this majorly consists of configuring the services on the AOS. If you have issues with the service configuration on the AOS, we would ask you to open a support case on this. - Anonymous

Hi all,Can anyone confirm/deny if the computer/tablet I'm using the app from needs to be in the same domain as the AOS?I managed to install and apparently connect (I can choose the company in the connection setup) but I can't choose any production unit or work centre group.I know I am one step to make it work, but can't really get there!Has anyone else managed to have the app actually work connected to an AX environment?Does anyone now if you can use the app connecting to an Azure environment?Thanks,Iacopo - Anonymous

Hi guys!Here's my POC setup: AX instance in the Cloud (IaaS), Production Floor App on the laptopI deployed Demo AX instance with Contoso Demo Data in Azure using LCS, then exposed Jmg Services through Inbound port using HTTP. Also I added HTTP (port 80) endpoint to the Azure VM itself in Azure Portal (it is fine for my POC, but it is not secure in general case)My Production Floor App is installed on my laptopAnd this is Connection settings for the app:Demo mode: OffServer address: http://AX2012R3-Demo-XYZ-123.cloudapp.net/MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif60/SFC/xppservice.svcUser name: AdminPassword: ***I don't specify Partition just leaving it blankAfter clicking "Test connection" you will see the list of companiesAnd ultimately I'm logged in as Christina Portra (based on Contoso Demo Data) in Production Floor AppGood luck!Best Regards,/Alex - Anonymous

Hi,"I managed to install and apparently connect (I can choose the company in the connection setup) but I can't choose any production unit or work centre group."The connection settings contain only information related to the AX user and server. Once the connection settings are set you should see a sign in screen (this would be step one). Production unit and work center group is filtering which can be set in a separate settings pane (settings charm - it will be available once the connection to the server is established / you can see the sign in screen). If filters are not set all jobs will be provided.Hope it clarifies a bit.Regards,Lukasz - Anonymous

Hi,I succeed to use this application in the same environnement than the AOS but I have to setup in connection form of the apps the external url like ax2012r3-demo-r3cu8-xxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudapp.net/.../xppservice.svc. I think it is a default of the apps.How can I translate this apps in French ? or do you plan to do this ?Best regards - Anonymous
January 12, 2015
Hi Christophe,We haven't translated the app into other languages than "en-us" yet, and the translation can only be done by the core team. We don't have any immidiate plans to make the translation.Kind regards,Johan - Anonymous

Here is a link to the general documentation of the app:technet.microsoft.com/.../dn771606.aspxWe are currently investigating an issue with missing OK/Cancel button when running on a Surface RT device (Win 8.1). Which device are you running the app on?Regards,Johan Hoffmann - Anonymous

Hi Johan,Thanks for the information. I already had the link but was looking for more functional instructions. Is there anything available?Running Windows 8.1 on a laptop.Regards, Paul - Anonymous
January 26, 2015
Hi Johan,Any update on the functional instructions and missing button?Also, are there any plans to add additional functionality into the application and are they documented? The app looks great but does not reflect all the functionality available on the job registration screens at this point. Once we get the connection to server established I will provide some feedback.Regards, Paul - Anonymous

Hi,For info if tab used the missing buttons appear so are there but just lower than displayed area of screen. No scroll bar appears to get down to them otherwise.Regards, Paul - Anonymous

Johan, In reference to your earlier post: We are currently investigating an issue with missing OK/Cancel button when running on a Surface RT device (Win 8.1). Which device are you running the app on? I tried to RDP from my iPad to this app which is installed on our demo VM. I am having the same issues here that I don't see the OK and Cancel buttons. Everything else seems to work. (I tried it with PocketCloud Pro and with Jump Desktop) Do you have any update since this might be related? Or alternatively are you planning an iPad version? Herbert
