Enhancements and Fine Tuning

1. We added the ability to not show Work Orders unless they are in a dispatched status located in General Settings. The option is labeled “Show WO In Mobile App When Status Is” and you may select Scheduled, Dispatched, or Both. To set this, login as a user with the sufficient security (credentials to change General Settings). Click More Settings > General Settings. You have the option of copying your new settings to all mobile users.
2. We added the ability to show dispatched only work order types in the work order list for non admin users located in General Settings.

7. Users can opt out of sending default text message responses, allowing for more tailored communication strategies.
