Mail App - Screen Overviews

The Mail Home screen is used to check-in, deliver, and search for mail items. To access this screen, tap the Mail App icon on your mobile device. Once you sign in, the Mail Home screen displays.

 

You can perform the following actions directly from the Mail Home screen:

• Search: Tap the Search option to search for a mail item. The Mail  Search screen displays, where you can search for items by recipient or tracking number.
• Logout: Tap the Logout button to sign out of the Mail app.

This screen also includes a graph and color-coded legend, allowing you to efficiently track the number of items available for delivery as well as the number of deliveries completed for the current day. To display the exact number of packages, letters, or deliveries, simply tap a section of the graph in the Today's Queue section.

The Mail Home screen also contains features that allow you to "gamify" your work environment. To access these additional sections, simply swipe right or left on top portion of the screen. Using the available job-performance metrics, including the overall number of check-ins and deliveries, you and your coworkers can engage in friendly competitions over who can be the most productive. In fact, if you are using an iPhone 5s or newer device, the Mail App can sync with your device's Health app, allowing you to track your steps on a daily basis.

These gamification features add a bit of fun to your work day, which can help you stay engaged while performing your routine tasks. Furthermore, the Mail App can also interface with the Barcode Scan Sled, which allows you to transform your device into a more robust scanner tool.
