Field Service Management (FSM) & Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO)

May I know how FSM License type “Message” works ? How to configure this license for a person? Is it same as FSM integration framework license?

Hi,Over the weekend we update FSM from 5.7u5 to u11.Since then we’re seeing performance issues with loading the Schedule Board in FSM.One day’s worth of shifts, tasks, exceptions etc. is taking c.35 seconds to load. We noticed an issue in DEV and UAT with a long running query and applied an index to resolve that.I can drop jobs in UAT and flood a specific day and that tasks about 7 to 8 seconds to load. Yet the same process in Live is taking 5 times as long. Has anyone else noticed an impact on the Schedule Board either after applying a patch update, or going to Update 11 specifically? We’re still reviewing the indexes but anyone got any more suggestions? RegardsAdy 

Web client is not able to parse date parameter for any report whether it is standard FSM report or custom reports. When we are passing the date parameter from smart client the report is being generated , however from web -client we are getting error for the same set of parameters.Our detailed requirement is as follows:Technicians has task to complete and each task may have multiple steps to be done. In the task status flow, after reaching onsite, technician needs to select the status as ‘In-Process’ first to start working on the task. After completion of all steps under the task only, technician will be able to change the task status as ‘Completed’. Unless technician fills up his findings against all the steps, system will not allow him to change the task status as ‘Completed’ and show him an error message (like ‘Steps are not completed’). Please note that the requirement is to be handled through client scripts, etc. (but not through Business Rule) so that technician can get this error

Need to see the IOS server log from FSM application. Where we can see the log, if IOS mobile application glitch found.

We have the app param SERIAL_UNIQUENESS set to 1 (serial unique for part ID).My understanding of this would be that two products with the same part can’t have the same serial ID but two products with different part IDs can have the same serial ID.However, when we try to add two products with the same serial ID to a shipment we get an error saying that the selected serial ID is already included in the shipment even though the products are connected to different part IDs.Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the app param, do anyone have any experience with this?/Erik 

Hi,When all the users in the FSM Web Client Application, tried to login. we are getting the below error message frequently in the FSM Application.A110: cannot authenticate the request because the login is invalid and client session is expired. You must relogin to FSM or exit.Even with admin users we are not able to login the application.Kindy help us to find the solve the issue.  

The Quote module, Out of the box, seems to create a request once the Quote has been approved.It only creates a request. Is there a method that already exists to have it auto create the task as well?Ideally would like to not carry over everythingFor example, if there is labour on the quote, we dont want labour on the task (in the event the user takes longer)

Hi, I want to send the customer a notification on his mobile number after successful creation of a request. Mobile number is a field in the page. We are using FSM 6.How can I achieve this? 

How does this function work ? it is updated in the part record and when its used on a part need, it automatically goes to the new replacement part (sometimes if you’re using the updated part it goes back to the old part)is this a business rule or out of the box? i want to apply this practice to the quote module so the parts in the quote module are being updated as well but i cant find this.  

My Admin user is locked in the FSM. So am not able to log in the application.How to unlock the admin user ?

Hi Guys,As you know there are already inbuilt/default client report.  How can I create similar to client report without using any third party reporting tool (Crystal report or SQL server report).Can I develop report using report admin Regards,Saras

If some third party application is trying to connect FSM application using inbounding API integration call, what supposed to be ideal credential to be provided to 3rd party?Suppose there are API being called by thirdparty. So, what the credentials do we need to provide to third party?https://FSMSERVER_ADDRESS:443/FSMDEV/odata/request('1055')https://FSMSERVER_ADDRESS:443/FSMDEV/odata/perform_inbound_integration Is there something in FSM called, Client_ID , Cliemt_Secret , grant_type ? If yes from where to get those value?

Hi,I have set-up a Folder Listener via the Monitor Schedules to pick out .csv files based on a prefix.I want to trigger an updated to the primary table (invoice) once the file has been received. This will then be replicated for other tables too.The value is not in the .csv so I want to add that in myself.It doesn't appear to like this when adding in the hard value into the mapping, as it just by-passes that column.I have then looked at using a Process to trigger a XML update where that value is set.I have the file being read and the integration is mapping the header 'OrderNumber' to 'invoice_id' but how do I get that value into the XML to update the Invoice ID accordingly?This is the Mapping I have.The process is. With the XML being a simple update. I’m just unable to get the ‘OrderNumber’ value from the .csv to map into the XML. What is the correct setup to achieve the outcome of the Invoice ID getting updated? RegardsAdy

All, How can you configure which information should carry over/come down from the list-view item above the one you are newly creating?  Example: When you create a new part need on a Request, the “line Code”, “place_id_from” and “location_from” are carried over from whatever part-need precedes the one you just created. (yellow fields came from line above it)On the Request template screen, it does not carry over the same fields. Generating a new Part Need (req_template_part_need) does not copy the Part Line Code from above, similar to how Request operates.How is this configured?    Where can we define what fields need to come over, and which don’t when a new line is created in a list view. Thank you in advance. Sincerely,-Rudy

Hello,Is it possible to restrict a role or a person to not have access to SmartClient or only to WebClient?We configured the property "Client Type", in role, to "Web Client", but the person is still able to login and work on the smartclient. Thanks for the help,DC

Is there any report designer tool in FSM ?Requiremnt 1: When we click on Request Print a pdf file comes up( request.rdlc ) with a predefined format . Need to customized this report with additional jpeg , additional content and few field values. Requirement 2: FSM Report needs to be configured as per the business standard, as we can do in SSRS or Crystal report.But, SSRS doesn't support FSM webclient. Hence the issue.  

Hi, Is it possible to change the background color on the login page of mobile app?We were able to change the IFS logo, but not the color. Thank you, João Oliveira

Good morning,I am in Mobile Designer and added the field place.creadit_terms_cd to the CustTabDetail screen.  I cannot figure out how to get the field to display the description of the code value instead of the code value from the CREDIT_TERMS_CD code table.   ​ Thanks

Can anyone help with this please? In our Customer Portal configuration we have selected a ‘Lobby only Dashboard’.  However when you login on a new browser you still get the standard dashboard.  If you open up a new browser tab and login again with the same account, you get the Lobby.  So you get the assigned lobby on all logins except the very first one! Anyone have any idea why?

In FSM Server how to find which Business rules have taken more time to execute . We have enable server log for Business rule and exception to 6 as suggested by IFS case to find the performance lag.But how to find from the server log which business rule taken more time to execute.What parameter and values need to be checked in the server log.  

User has restricted menus and functions to READ only. Example Request or ProductUsing API calls with the same user the same data can be modified. Expectation is: since the user has READ only this should not be possibleHow to you handle the roles /rights in order to avoid this issue?Can you reproduce also in your systems?We use FSM 6.5Thank you already for any useful feedback!
