Service (Touch Apps, MWO, MRO)

I am aware Browser language/locale controls how Aurena client displays Date Formats on the browser. However, how do we change the date format on Aurena Native Apps such as Service Engineer App?Currently we have only installed MS Edge and language preferences are set on Edge setting to pick English (UK). This works fine on Aurena client (IFS Cloud 22.2). However, Service Engineer app running on the same laptop is showing the date  in US format.  Device Region format is set-to English (UK) as well. How do we change the date formats for Aurena Native Apps? Window and other platforms? 

Hi,Can we add custom Assistants within the MWO Work Details page similar to Expense or Time screens through Configuration? For example: For Expense screen, we have the Entity ‘ExpenseVirtual’ but I do not see an option to view how the ‘ExpenseVitrual’ Entity was created and linked with Expense Assistant.While trying to create a custom Assistant/Page using the custom Entity I’ve created, it gets redirected to the browser and also the page doesn’t load. Please let me know if we have any reference document. Thanks

Hello,I would like to send custom Push Notifications to mobile. Below are 3 queries:1st query: Using the App Model, can we include conditions when to send the notification to mobile or is that a separate process? In the Cloud documentation, I can only see the message to send. I believe, updating the app model and creating a projection action is a customization and not possible through configuration. 2nd query: Custom Alert Messages - Is this referring to Alert messages displayed based on conditions which will be visible to the technician for few seconds and then disappear when the mobile app is open? Do we have any reference on how we can perform this action? 3rd query: Can we restrict/modify the “New Assignment” notification logic to send only on certain conditions and not every time an assignment is transferred to mobile? If yes, is it possible through configuration? Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

Hello,I’ve created a custom attribute as “Cf_Latitude” and added it to the Work Details screen in mobile. I would like the Control type of the field to be ‘AddressField’ to display a Map.But when I open the MWO Service, the below error is displayed. Do we have any restrictions to display as ‘AddressField’? Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

Hello,Is there a way to display the Map Position added to an Assignment in My Work and Work Details screen in mWO Service which the technician can utilize to navigate?I’ve tried adding the Entity ‘TaskMapPosition’ to the Work Details screen with baseline attributes Latitude and Longitude. But the fields are displayed as normal text fields and not Address Fields which can be used for navigation.I do not want the Latitude and Longitude to be linked to an Address or Location. Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

Hi, When we incomplete an assignment, there is a field to set remaining hours for the Activity. That is ‘Remaining hours to complete work’When the mobile user decide to incomplete an assignment and then he adds few hours to ‘Remaining hours to complete work’ field. When the mobile user add these additional hours, what will happen in the background.Should it create a new demand line for the same work task or more follow-on allocations? For the time being it seems that non of them are happening.  Do you know how this should work? Thanks and Regards,Nethmi

Hello,Can we add additional values to the attribute ‘State’ in JtTask and JtExecutionInstance entities in IFS Cloud 22R1 through configuration?  Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

Hello, We are planning to use Aurena (technician/ maintenance portal). Yesterday I received feedback of our technicians that the interface is not that intuitive. I am hoping you can assist me in improving the application for our technicians.What we would like is to view the Task Steps underneath the Work Order. This would enable the users to instantly know what work the task contains. I already know the “Definition” of a Work Task Template pulls through to the Work Task. But is it possible to add a view of task steps? Or possibly the Job Description?  If not, would it be possible to edit the view of Work Details to include Task Steps? (And to exclude irrelevant information such as components from the Task Information?)  

Hello,I would like to view all the Service history for a Site in MWO Service even when an Equipment is not associated to the Work Task. I assume we cannot use the "Service Book" screen for this functionality since it is associated with Objects/Equipment.Therefore, I've created a new List element with the entity "HistoryJtTask" within Work Details screen in MWO Service. I do not get the desired output but rather can view only the specific Work Task which I’ve opened.Am I missing any logic or is there any other baseline screen to view the Service History in mobile? Please let me know. Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia

We have a scenario that I am not sure how best to handle. Engineer creates work via MWO Service Engr App and Raises Purchase Requisition to replenish PartsEngineer completes Work and updates the Work Order to ‘Complete’ which updates the IEE WO Status to Work DoneEngineer keeps the Work Order on his device to receipt in the replenishment parts when they arriveIEE Users see Work Done Work Order and Process to Finished Engineer updates Work Order via MWO AppFailed Transaction generated as Engineer is now updating a Finished Work Order   How do the IEE Users know that the Engineer has selected to Keep the Work Order? The assignment shows complete, the Work Task and Work Order shows as work done? They need to be able to see when the Work Order is Kept on the Device so they do not attempt to update it in IEE before the engineer has selected to Return it from his MWO Device. Thanks,
