DISPATCHING UPDATES
 


Important Note: Please remember to review the “PROJECT NOW |WORKFLOW UPGRADES” file

* Orderteam selection will be done on the customer level

* The RC online/offline status will be shown as a colored dot next to their names(Online = green, Offline = Red). This will appear on the order list, order details page, Job tracker, Bill tracker, Source Tracker, Dispatcher user list, and dispatcher user details pages. This dot will also be available in Owner, Working on it columns on all trackers

* Tickets will get allocated to whoever is logged in for each specific team (only 25 tickets max per day). If the stack is full, tickets will go to the team lead(as owner and working on it), and they can manually make an allocation to Special Ops or someone else using the bulk update feature

* Work order notifications will go to Team “Lead”, “Owner” and “Working on It” users. Those notifications will be treated like a shared inbox where a notification will be cleared for assigned users whenever one of them opens a notification. For example: If a "Working on it" user opened a work order notification from the notifications list, then that notification will get cleared for them as well as the assigned Owner and Team Lead
 

* Alltracker pages will have a dispatcher filter next to layouts. This will filter the Job Tracker to show only orders where a dispatcher is an"owner" and/or "Working on it". In the future, this will become the default Job Tracker view for every dispatcher

* Order auto-selection based on technician profile. This is done from back-end only and will not be implemented until auto dispatch has been completed. Dispatchers will not notice any changes from this feature yet

 

Bugs
 

§ Fixed an issue where we were not able to change the"Stage" within templates

§ Fixed an issue with Advanced Search not working. When searching using a tech’s name for example, it was not yielding any results

§ Fixed an issue with the quick search field not showing more than 5 results in the dropdown menu. The current behavior is that when the dropdown list shows matches of more than 5 orders, the user can click on “More+” to load results and be taken to a list of work orders matching the search

o The dev team is working on showing a matching work order ID at the top of the results by default on this dropdown menu

§ Fixed an issue with tech task not fully syncing with marketplaces OR when they were synced, the TC step remained yellow even after all tech tasks have been completed

§ Fixed an issue with FN publishing work orders as the “ServiceType” was not populating on FN

§ Some technician tasks, such as "Enter Closeout Notes", will move to another section after publishing to FN. This is happening because FN will always prioritize their sequence and we cannot modify it. that's why tasks get re-shuffled. The best way to do this is to have a template on FN that matches the template on Tekumo

If a FN template has only the four basic tech tasks, while the Tekumo template has many more, then FN will prioritize their tasks to remain on top of each section (Prep, On-Site, and Post), then post the TEK tasks below them

Note: The tasks in blue (left image) are the common ones that were on the FN template. After publishing to FN (right image), tech tasks got reshuffled

§ Fixed an issue with some templates where the RC team saw a name they don't recognize for "Project Manager" under template 28640. When trying to edit that card, that field disappeared. Also made sure the input and output fields now match

§ Fixed an issue with Location Tags being associated with the wrong location/customer

§ Fixed an issue with templates having duplicate Internal Tasks that could not be deleted. The dev team has added a delete button next to the edit icon
