This checkbox is defaulted to Send an email with the current report for the activity. This has been an issue for us as we need to review all Technician text before being sent to the customer. In addition, we often have Orders that must remain open for an extended period and end up with dozens of activities. We have trained the techs to ‘uncheck’ this box but it is an easy one to miss. Is there a way to change this default or turn off the option altogether??

The preference would be to leave them active as options but both defaulted as “Unchecked

Thanks, Sean

 

 

Hi Sean,
Right now that checkbox is defaulted to checked at the source code level so it can’t be changed by MOE settings or via the Mobile Customizer application.  This would need to be done as a small customization or we can log a RFE (Request for Enhancement) ticket for possible implementation in a future development sprint.
Thanks,
Reid


Thank you Reid. With SU4 right around the corner, I do not want to mess with customizations. I will log the RFE though.

 

Thanks, Sean


Follow up question regarding this issue for Reid or Phil…

We have done some testing and believe there is a potential work around for this issue in MOE -10183. We removed ‘email’ from the string. By doing this, the completion screen the tech lands on is shown below. Emailing the report is not a displayed option. We have tested this on a few sites in UAT that have email contacts at the order, site, & customer level and have not received any emails back. (We have confirmed that email is enabled in the UAT environment). My question have you seen this approach used successfully elsewhere ?

Thanks, Sean


 


Hi Sean,

I personally do not have any experience with a customer using this option as you described.  However, on the surface, this seems to be a good solution for you based on what is in the Mobile Edge Users Guide:

 

My interpretation of this is from the Note section where they specifically mention reducing this to a smaller set of options, so removing the email will remove it from the workflow so it probably should not be sending the email.

Good catch!
