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

I installed MWO (Mobile work order) on my mobile & want to know if below functionality is possible as I could not find itStart document approval process via document details Run custom events How I can transfer my task back from mobile to desktop? 

We will be using MWO for task execution inside a work order & our requirement is to NOT ALLOW the task to be work started until some flag is set to YES in the db (basically inside the task, there should be some set of fields that must be Y/some approval process after which only FSE can mark the work to work started. Is there a way to achieve this?

We are doing PSO installation in Azure Server VM.  Accordingly , PSO Azure License has been provided by IFS  which is dependent on Tenant ID. While installing it is asking for Microsoft Credential .  So, which credential do we supposed to use here ?  Our individual O365 credential is not working here.We had previous experience to install in PSO as Standard one. not Azure.So, my question is , is the PSO license type provided by IFS is correct as Azure, or we should ask for PSO standard license?Is there PSO Azure installation guide available ?Please advise.

Hi,We have a requirement, is there any possibility to filter duplicate WO number from task screen. For example:In task screen its showing open tickets as 10, but basically it may be having multiple task on same WO.There may be only 5 WO, it creates 2 tasks & showing 10 tasks.Out of 10, 5 are duplicate cases.Regards,Shiyaz 

Can you recommend any parameters or scheduling app params to check to fix this issue?Only in our Production environment we are seeing manually scheduled tasks being ignored or excluded by the workbench. Inside 30 days out, they appear just as normal, and Appointment Booked activities are also fine.   

Hi All, How does the Service Contract SLA and the Support Agreement/Support Key work in relation to each other? Suppose I have a Customer A that has a Support Agreement + a Support key that specifies certain response times as explained in IFS help: Additionally the same customer A also has a Service Contract with me where i will define a SLA for different Work Types with Primary and Secondary Criteria and an SLA Template. This will also define certain response times in accordance with the explanation on IFS help.  So I have some questions on this:How do these 2 systems interact? Can they get in conflict with each other? When do I use a Service Contract SLA and when do I use a support agreement? or do I use both simultaneously? What are the pro and con’s of each option? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans

Hi experts,There is an requirement as below. In request screen, we can have multiple part needs. Once we create a new row in Part needs tab, we need to add some default values (Ex- Promised Date/Quantity) to the newly added row based on the first part_need row values. As an example, in this screenshot, first part need sequence = 46. So when user adding new row by using New button, the values from sequence - 46 should be fetched and set as default values in the newly created row.  I have already fetched the values from the first part need row by using client script sql. But when I try to use the getDataTableSelectedRows and setValueOnListDataRow, it seems these methods are not triggering the newly added row. Instead this method will trigger the first row since that is the one already selected as the default. Any feedback or work around for this. Thanks,Hasara

We are implementing SSO in our mobile app and passing the OIDC token to FSM Mobile app, where do we store the token? I presume we must already have some token already in place, to be replaced by the token received.

Hi,I am creating an xml message to update (child) tasks which have different task-status and owner(person_id) from their (visit)task.I created a custom view to get those tasks.In this query:task_id = visit-taskchild_task_id = task_id the xml message looks like this.<!-- =========================================================== -->        <!-- update task owner and task status from visit when visit-owner is not empty --> <!-- ======================================================== -->        <perform_batch>            <sequential_dependent>                <hierarchy_select result_name="select_result1">                    <primary_table>task</primary_table>                    <attrs>                        <attr>task.task_id</attr>                        <attr>task.person_id</attr>                        <attr>task.task_status</attr>                        <attr>task.team_id</attr>

Hi Experts, We have received an issue from a customer regarding a failure of iOS device initialization. below is the investigation carried out by us so far.So we had to create a new user and initialized him separately from an Android device and iOS device. We observed that the android device was initialized normally and during the iOS initialization process   even though the user saw the initialization completion message, but he hasn't been redirected to the home screen though.(There is not any customization been done here and we have checked all the configurations that might cause a sync issue. But could not detect any configuration problems as well)When initializing a mobile, the database and attachment files related to the user are created in the mobile download location.  We were able to find the following things while debugging this attachment download process. When a user initializes from android, the related database and attachment files are downloaded in the normal way, then th

Hello everyone, we regularly receive an error message from Azure, we are not able to identify.The email from Azure states: The messages sometime vary, and the App Type changes from IFSSBM, IFSPSW and IFSSRG.

Hello,We are using FSM 5.7 and have been having an issue with the mileage calculation button retrieving the mileage from the Api. It also seems that the portal is having issues retrieving newly created facilities that exist within the application. It has been mentioned before that there could be an issue with the Api pointing to http instead of https, however it is hard to determine if that is the exact issue and how to solve it. Any advice or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. 

My phone just upgraded to Android 13. We are using FSM 6 update 12 (soon to go to update 18). I just tried to install the mobile app and it does not successfully open. It seems to have a problem around how permissions are granted- I grant all the permissions but it still acts like I need to grant more permissions.What FSM update will support Android 13? By the way, I also tried it with update 18 and that won’t come up either.

On FSM6U22, there is an issue with executing XML Inbound Integration maps due to a software defect. In the Perform Inbound XML, we specify the <mapping_name> with the Integration map to be used, however, due to this bug, this map does not get used during the mapping, and executes another Map (the first map in the cust_integration_map table). This issue is expected to be fixed in FSM6U23. Reference case: G2363880

Hi All, We are facing an issue with time zone display in mobile task event.The below image was taken on 16th of Jan 2023 at 11:12 AM KSA.The onsite event originally occurred at 8:59 AM KSA. It’s supposed to display 8.59 AM KSA as time for onsite event. But displaying 11:59 AM which is +3hrs from the original event time.  We have checked the mobile time zone of user its set to KSA time zone and the fsm db is also in KSA time zone. Any ideas on this why the time is not shown as per user mobile time zone. Note: FSM DB is showing the correct time 8:59 AM KSA
