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

Hi all, Do you know where I can disable the options marked with green, under the Profile drop-down in header in Web Client?  

I am looking for a way to send an XML perform batch through Postman to the M5 service rather than using the FSM Utilities tool (since Postman has some extra features that are really helpful for troubleshooting and testing). Has anyone found a way to use Postman to successfully post messages?I see that the utility tool uses WCF or REST, but after doing some research I found that WCF REST is different than the former two and may potentially allow HTTP GET and POST functions to work with the XML perform batch via enabling WebHttpBinding class.Has anyone used Postman to send an XML perform batch to the M5 service or something similar?

Hi there,  We are using FSM6u16 and would like to use the Schedule board as a way of monoitoring the tasks and not to add / drop / or move the tasks shown on the Schedule Board.  I was told of an App Param or some kind of config change that could be made that would prevent tasks from being moved on the Schedule board. I hope that is clear and someone can advise how this is possible. This was shown to me by an IFS / FSM consultant a while back, but I can’t recall how to lock down the schedule board preventing tasks from being accidentally moved. 

Hi All, Is it possible to re-format the XML payload within IFS FSM application , without the intervention of Middleware?In case of point to point Integration, can we add attributes like <parameters> , <xml_import> in Payload  ?If yes. What is the process?

Hi All,We are unable to fill future timesheet in newer version of FSM MWO . Is there any configuration to be enabled to activate future timesheet .  

Hello,I am creating a script that will allow the task_types to appear according to the chosen task_category. If I choose multiple task_categories, then in the task_type lookup it should appear all the values that are beloging to the task categories that I have chosen.  This is running on the filters of the Task List screen. I created this script that already allows me to do that, but there is a bug, if I choose multiple task_types, the task_type label only fills me with one.var taskCategory = getControlValue('task','task_category');var activeCriteria={};    activeCriteria['locked'] = 'Y';    activeCriteria['itemName'] = '';    activeCriteria['functionItemName'] = 'global_code_table.active';    activeCriteria['value'] = 'Y';var codeNameCriteria = {};    codeNameCriteria['locked']='Y';    codeNameCriteria['itemName'] = '';    codeNameCriteria['functionItemName'] = 'global_code_table.code_name';    codeNameCriteria['value'] = 'task_type'; var codeValueCriteria={};       codeValueCriteria[

We had a contract billing run the other night which generated (Extract To Vouchers) 9000+ rows / approx. 2500 contracts.  The voucher is in HOLD status and two of these rows (same contract) are showing error_status IVBP.  Up until now all voucher batch errors have been for single transactions so easy to correct and re-post.  The issue with the bill to place id has been corrected but can anyone suggest the best way to handle this so that we can re-run the voucher and allow the invoices to post?Thanks,Richard

FSM 6U47327I am trying to amend a BR so that it clears the input field at the end. I used expression = original(task_ext.*). However, getting an error “data member specified by *** cannot be found”. Am I using an incorrect expression?Alternatively, what other way can I clear input field at end of BR? Thank you.

Is there any way possible we can filter FTs based on their skills in schedule board? 

When a user updates a PSO Activity in the Scheduling Workbench (e.g. change duration, fixt time etc.) an update is sent to Cloud.  In some environments the Journal page in Prepare Work Order shows this change being made by the end user, in others it shows as being made by the IFSSCHEDULING user.Is there any setup/configuration that is needed to ensure that the Journal entry is linked to the logged on user rather than the integration user (IFSSCHEDULING)?

We have a user who is very sensitive to the purple colour, specifically the “Show” button and the tab hover colour, etc which dont change when the UI theme colour is changed. Is there anything that can be done to change all the colours on the forms? A screen filter has been supplied and monitor settings have all been changed for the user and still the specific purple is causing some extreme distress. Any help with this would be a great help, thank you.

We have a situation where an item is billed in partial units, and credited back on another line. The value displayed on the request screen (for example) is $92.63 however the DB value is $93.635A bit of an odd question: Why is the value displayed to users not rounded up? Is there a way to alter the number of decimal places displayed on the request screen? Modify the DB value to match? Modifying the DB   

Hi All, currently we are facing an issue with assignments  in PSO  if  technician  location is  too far to the activity location , activates are not allocating to the technicians. Actually we have two types of work orders  one is on -site and remote . we want remote  activates  need to assign to technician irrespective of  Distance .(Task will done from home so here  we don't want to consider travel  calculation to assign activates ). we are using HTM  if we disable this parameter it will  applicable globally  and we are sending only scheduling data from FSM to PSO no ARP .Could you please any one suggest on this which way can we achieve this scenario. Thanks, Durga      

I am trying to create a new Part which is condition code enabled and I get the error invalid Part, product family and product name combination. Anyone has any idea when does this happen.Note: I am keeping product family and product name blank and still getting the error.

We have a couple of questions regarding package deployments of certain types of elements:How to deploy notification messages, distribution lists, and substitutions? Why cant we deploy notification messages, distribution lists, and substitutions? Global Codes - pulling in one status versus the entire global code table?

Hi,  I have a requirement from a client where it was asked if I could multi select values from a lookup popup.  Right now when you create in a lookup field there is a new pop up that appears for a user to select a value. For example the task type:  This behaviour is possible if we press the CTRL button while we select several values in the lookup but to the customer this is not very intuitive. Setting the field as a combobox is not a solution in this case, because this field can have more than 100 values. Best regards.  

We have made multiple datasets and want to restrict that to specific user . Like we have 6 dataset and for few user we want them to see only 2 dataset and few only one and 3 dataset to other . How can we achieve this ?Is there a way to revoke dataset access from user ?

Is there any setting in scheduling dataset that determines up to what date, I can see the assignments only upto Mar 22 

Can we set the visibility of scheduling dataset used in dispatch console? Like I want the dataset of site1 to be visible to site1 users only.

We have a scenario where we want to update a parent row field doing the sum qty of child rows on Before Insert or Update.

We want to restrict the different dataset for different users , how this can be achieved ? 

Hi All, Is it possible to call a sync rule or trigger it somehow via a client script in mobile? With additional parameters? We want to retrieve (sync to mobile) specific data on user demand via mobile.   Regards,

Hi, Wonder if could have a step by step guide as to how to make this automatic, we have separate contracts to produce individual PPM requests and other are bulk as per below i need to run through each template to extract can this be done automatically instead of the current way we do this ? 

Our current process of doing production database refreshes is to turn off the appropriate business rules that involve sending out emails or texts to users in the field. Then, set the phone number and email address fields to NULL via a SQL update.We want to keep all business rules active and contact information intact, but would like to have something that does not send out communications when testing the business rules in our pre-production environments if we need to fix or change them.Does anyone have any ideas on to make this process easier and reduce the time to refresh production data into pre-production environments?

When we open service report from IFS cloud we don’t see time report in UAT environment but in CFG environment we can clearly see {As per below screenshot} . Is there any other setting that we are missing in UAT ?
