Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

Would be nice to schedule a tech when you generate the work orders and automatically fall on the DB.

Having he ability to schedule the Tech upon generation of the work order would be ideal. I'd like to see the "trip" right when you're generating, then they dump right on the dispatch board on those dates.  Seems more streamlined....then you don't have to generate, go to the dispatch board and schedule out.

    It creates a trip and assigns the tech (awesome) but does not populate the scheduled date, which we would want in some work order batches but not others

    Currently exists...if the SM Service (work schedule) has an Assigned Technician:

    Assigned Tech

    Enter the technician for this agreement service (generally the technician most qualified to handle the work associated with this agreement service). If this technician is Active in SM Technicians and PR Employees, the system will **automatically create a single trip on work orders generated** from this agreement service, with this technician designated. In addition, this technician will be assigned as the Lead Tech on the work order.

    If you leave this field blank, the system will not automatically create trips for work orders generated from this agreement service. Additionally, it will assign the primary technician designated for the service site as the Lead Tech on the work order.
