Overview

The Location Check Digit appears on the RF Location enquiry screen by default. You can hide this field by editing the RF Python file. This requires all users to be logged out of the system whilst you make the change.

⚠️Important: You'll need Administrator permissions and must schedule downtime, as all Delta users must be logged out during this process.


Access the Location Check Digit field

Before you begin, you'll need to locate the field on the RF scanner.

  1. On the RF scanner, click Enquiries.

  2. Click Location Enquiries.

  3. Type the location.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen to view the Check Digit number.

⚠️Warning: All Delta users (both application and RF users) must be logged out of the system before you begin. Editing the Python file whilst users are active may cause system instability.

  1. Shut down the Delta components.

  2. Stop the RF Telnet Service.

  3. Locate the LocationEnquiry.py file, then right-click and select Edit with IDLE.

  4. Find the following text:

    • #CheckDigit    if rsLocation.Fields("CheckDigitOn").value == True:    item = str("CheckDigit: " + str(rsLocation.Fields("CheckDigit").value))    data = 0    self.lstLocation.add_item(item, data)

  5. Comment out each line by adding a hashtag (#) at the beginning of the line, so it appears as follows:

    • #CheckDigit
      #if rsLocation.Fields("CheckDigitOn").value == True:
      #item = str("CheckDigit: " + str(rsLocation.Fields("CheckDigit").value))
      #data = 0
      #self.lstLocation.add_item(item, data)
  6. Click File, then click Save.

  7. Close the file.

  8. Start the RF Telnet Service.

  9. Open the RF Location enquiry screen to verify the Location Check Digit field is no longer visible.


Next steps

πŸ€“Tip: If you need to restore visibility of the Location Check Digit field, remove the hashtags from the lines you commented out, then save the file and restart

the RF Telnet Service.
