Hi,Is it possible to reassign an already assigned task through IFS MWO Service App? The actual situation is as follows.There is a company who is dealing with courier companies. The company uses IFS Cloud 24R2. This company wants to allocate transport tasks (all work tasks) to courier leaders who are also third party. Further, the courier leaders will have to allocate the tasks to individual delivery personnel via IFS MWO Service App. Can all these allocations be made via IFS MWO Service App?Ex: Customer assign tasks to Courier Leaders from IFS Application to MWO and Courier Leaders reassign the tasks to relevant drivers via IFS MWO. Is it possible? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to extract the values from the PARAM_NAME column in the PROCESS_PARAM_PERFORM_VAL table? The FSM information log references this table, but I’m unable to extract it using Import/Export or the SQL Query Tool.The same happens with the COLUMN_NAME_TO_SET field in the PROCESS_PARAM_COLUMN_VAL table. Can anyone help me with this information?

Hi experts,I’m noticing a difference in the number of Place records when testing the baseline Place sync rule. When I run the Place sync rule XML through the XML Poster for a technician, it returns more records than what actually ends up in the Place table of the mobile database after initialization.Could it be that other sync rules are removing some of the records fetched by the Place sync rule? Or are there any baseline-level filters applied by the FSM framework during the initialization process?Has anyone come across this before?Appreciate any insights. Thanks! :)

EMBEDDED WEB PAGES IN WEB CLIENT using iframe was introduced in Patch 5 of FSM update 6. However this MetrixBrowser implementation on the Webclient is not consistent with the behavior from the smart client.In smart client the iframe url is able to resolve the substitution variable however the webclient is unable to do it. See example belowEx using the URL -> https://www.google.com/webhp?igu=1&q={{address.geocode_lat}}&output=svembed on the address screen we see that the webclient is unable to resolve the substitution variable {{address.geocode_lat}} like the smart client Smart client – The URL is able to substitute {{address.geocode_lat}} with the value of address.latitude which is 43.0333862305Webclient - The URL is unable to substitute {{address.geocode_lat}} with the value of address.latitude which is 43.0333862305 and just passes the tag as it is. 

Hello Community,We are currently working with IFS Cloud 24R2 and are trying to configure a navigation URL for a lobby element. Specifically, we would like to pass multiple values (an array of values) to a page parameter.Our current use case involves navigating to the following URL:page/SvcschScheduledWorkTasks/List?$filter= startswith(tolower(ResourceId),$[Employee ID])This works fine when passing a single value for the Employee ID parameter. However, we need to pass multiple values (an array of Employee IDs) and are looking for a way to achieve this within the navigation URL.Is there a supported way in IFS Cloud to pass multiple values for the same parameter in such scenarios? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

Hello,Within the installation guide for PSO 6.15 using the “Deploying an Azure service using the IFS PSO Installer” method, is it possible to use an existing “Azure SQL managed instance” instead of an “Azure SQL Database”.  Our company only supports the use of  SQL managed instance.thanks

Hi everyone In service  management, when shipping the same maintenance parts to different customers, we want to make the movement of the shipping personnel more efficient by consolidating multiple shipping instructions for multiple customers into a single shipping instruction. For example, regardless of whether it is for customers A, B, or C, one shipping personnel will dispatch 8 of 'Maintenance Part 001', and then sort them later into 3 for customer A, 2 for customer B, and 3 for customer C.Is there any solution to create a single shipping instruction (8)for customers A, B, or C?

Hi allWe are looking for a solution within IFS to plan and schedule our crew resources in the vessels. I know the dispatch console in IFS has this planning capability. However, we are looking for something more related to marine certificate availability / validity. Has anyone developed something similar in IFS? I would appreciate very much your suggestions. In my previous organization we used a tool called On-board Tracker [OBT] but the requirement is to find something within IFS.Thanks,Asela

Hello, Our customer has following scenario:Some technicians have different regular duties (e.g. office work) during their normal day, and they should be seen as absent in PSO. In this case, the easiest way to build this in the system would be to create miscellaneous resource allocations as recurring. For example, technician X is absent each Monday morning from 8 to 12.Does anyone know if this will be available in the near future?Thank you very much. Best regards,Iulia 

Hi,I am finding when trying to rollback a schedule it can fail. In the example below I am trying to get 29th Apr (yesterday), but the Schedule Time comes up for May last year.  I am finding sometimes the roll back works fine. In other times I shows me a date from a year ago, but the data in PSO for the plans are as if they’re live. Any ideas on this, or what to looks at in the events? Ady

Hi everyone,I'm working with the perform_hierarchy_select endpoint in the FSM OData API and trying to limit the number of records returned. This is the code I’m trying to use: {  "parameters": {    "query": {      "hierarchy_select": {        "attrs": {          "attr": [            "task.task_id",            "task.task_status"          ]        },        "primary_table": "task",        "from": {          "table": ["task"]        },        "max_rows": 15      }    }  }} 

Is there a way to tell what action corresponds to the ID listed in PSO? I am trying to find out what ID 715137 is. 

Hello everyone,Our customer would like to carry out vacation, sick leave and tour simulations based on historical data.We have tried to upload the data to WISE using a CSV file. However, no activities are displayed on the map.If we select the option “Use from existing Schedule”, the activities appear as expected.However, since we want to use historical data to simulate a scenario for a whole year in advance, this option is not suitable for us.We have checked the coordinates and they are correct. Does the Activity_Type have to be defined in PSO beforehand or something else?  Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case? Thank you!
