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

Hi,   Using client script I want to hide a sub tab button. Suppose if you open Request screen, under that we have a sub tab named attachment. So I want to hide the attachment’s New button using client script. So I am using this function “ SetControlVisibility(‘request_attachment’,’add’,False); “ But it’s not working in smart client. Can anyone suggest me where am I wrong or how we can hide this using client script.    Thanks, Kaustav

Hi Everybody,   As mentioned in the release note of FSM 6.5 Task Status Flow is now available on the smart client as well.   How can I disable that to make it available only in the mobile? Like it was before.   Regards, Clement Guirard

Hi Everybody,   Do you think it is possible to get the current user person_id and set this value into a data constraint  (FSM 6.4 Customer portal)?   I’ve tried different values like current_user, user_id, person.person_id instead of portal_places.   Thanks for your help!  

How do you set up the mobile platform to show pricing based on part pricing rules? we want our users to be able to see what special discount a customer gets while on site instead of having to reach out to the office to check

  We are currently changing user password from the PORTAL via the API ENDPOINT using:<update_person><person><person_id>****</person_id><password>*******</password><insert_update /></person><authentication><session_info><token_id>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</token_id><session_id>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</session_id></session_info></authentication></update_person>This is working fine - means it is changing the password - but is bypassing especially the system check if the password was reused:PASSWORD_REUSE_LOCK_DAYS 365From "PERSON" screen - this check is done and works fine.Via the API endpoint we are unable to trigger the same checks as done from the screen.Testing with FSM 6.5 and 6.1.   Any idea how to ensure the password is checked as from log-in in Smartclient?   Thanks!

We have the below XML being triggered from a business rule, after commit insert or update on the TASK table.  This XML creates a new address (using a custom view) and updates the address_id of the task.  We sometimes see that,  if there are 2 TASK’s created almost at the same time (with just 1 second delay or less than 1 second delay)  then both the task’s  are updated with the same address id.    The below expression that is updating the address_id returns the same address_id in  both cases.  <address_id xpath_node="//update_address_result[@result_name='update_tmfb_address']/address/address_id" />   However we see in the database that 2 new address_id are created but the both the task’s are updated with only 1 of them.    So basically when we have 2 similar tasks created at the same time then this business rule executes 2 times and the expression “//update_address_result[@result_name='update_tmfb_address']/address/address_id" doesn’t return unique result.  The task ‘s ar

Hello In FSM 5.7 mobile, when attaching photos, you can only take the photo and save within FSM but not to your camera roll. This is an issue as there have been many instances of the file getting corrupted and unable to retrieve it since it only exists in the attachment database.   Is there a way to allow the app to save these photos to the camera roll as well? I know users can upload there own photos but you have to navigate through android root menus and that is not user friendly
