3.8 Mobile App - As a Technician, what do I need to know about the NOTES section?

Updated on

Steps in the screen shots correspond to the numbers in the headings.

1. Select the Notes icon from the task menu

Notes are a required field for all Task Completion.  They are visible to the Customer as well as the site personnel, so it is extremely important that you are professional with your wording when writing notes.

You can tell that it is a required field as the icon is in Red, indicating that nothing has been entered and that something MUST be entered before the Task will be able to be completed.

A note is also created to document unusual transactions like an Emergency PO.

Notes will also default in when the Additional Notes field is used during Work Order creation. The original field to describe the reason for the Work Order is 250 characters. The Additional Notes screen allows for 10,000 more characters to be typed.  This defaults into the NOTES section.  If even more information is needed, both the Customer and the Technician have the ability to add additional notes.

Notes automatically default in from Labor entries. There is no need to type in an additional note if you put a good description of what you did to address the Work Order/Task issue in the Labor Notes.

2. Select the + icon in the upper right corner.

3. Select the appropriate Line Code (default will be Repair).

4. Enter the Note regarding the Task.

5. Select Save.

6. The Note will populate.

7. Once the Labor entry is entered, the icon becomes green.

8. The person who entered the note can edit the note by clicking on it. Editing is a good way to fix any misspellings.  Remember the Customer will be able to see your notes.

9. If you want to delete the note, the person who entered the note can edit the Note by swiping left on the Note and selecting delete.

10. If you want to delete the note, you will get a confirmation message asking if you are certain you want to proceed.  Click Yes to delete.

If you put in multiple techs on the same labor entry that will result in multiple labor lines but ONE note line. The rule will be ONE note per labor entry regardless of how many techs get a line entry under the labor icon. So if you delete one of the Labor lines, the note will remain until ALL of the associated Labor lines are deleted. So if a line was actually for two or more different techs labor lines, the note line will still only appear once.
