LS Retail Apps 4.7 Release Notes

About This Release

The LS Omni solutions are integrated with LS Central (14.02 and 15.03), providing simplified apps with real-time connectivity through web services. The LS Omni solutions are:

  • Omni Service – version 4.7
  • Mobile POS (Android) – version 4.7
  • Mobile Inventory (Android) – version 4.7
  • App Shell – version 1.14

Note: All released clients connect by default to a central LS Omni server that is hosted in the cloud. This server is connected to LS Central (15.xx), which is populated with demo data and acts as a source of data suitable for demonstrations and software evaluation.
To request a local installation of the LS Omni server for any of the solutions that you wish to privately host and connect to your LS Nav or LS Central solution, please contact LS Retail through Support on the LS Retail Portal (login required).

LS Omni Server is unit tested against LS Nav 2018 (11.xx) and LS Central (13.xx , 14.xx, 15.xx). 

The apps are only tested against LS Central (15.xx).

 To use LS Omni against LS Nav 2016 (9.xx) and LS Nav (10.xx), use LS Omni version 3.xx.

To use LS Omni against LS Nav 2015 (8.xx), use LS Omni version 2.3.3. 
LS Nav older than version 8.x is not supported.

To run an older version of the apps, downloaded from mobiledemo.lsretail.com against our demo server, the URL must be set to:

  • Version 2.4.x and up:
    http://mobiledemo.lsretail.com/LSOmniService/appjson.svc
  • Version 2.3.x and older:
