 I have done some investigations and found: The Tan blocks indicate the Shift Time of the Technician as per the Work Calendar specified either in the Person record or App Param (by default).But I’m unsure why the Blocks aren’t visible for all the Technician’s? It doesn’t correlate with schduled breaks either.

Hi Team,  I am trying to configure App Param "RECEIVED_TASK_EVENT" but I can not see the task.last_received_person_id or task.last_received_dttm consistently set.The app param description is as follow,“The Event Type used to determine if a Task has already been received on a mobile device. When populated, a Task Event Generation business rule must be configured to create this task event when LAST_RECEIVED_PERSON_ID changes from empty to populated.”Need to understand how the baseline code is setting last_received_person_id, and last_received_dttm when the mobile user has "received" the task? how can I configure RECEIVED_TASK_EVENT app param? and what are the possible Param Values that can have?Thank you in advance for your help on this. Regards,Wickram B. 

I’m trying to make layout changes to the Touch App for a Service Engineer. One of the pages is the Pool Work. When I select Resource Group (Un)defined I get a proper list. However I want to make changes to the data shown (add field, move them around). I have opened the page designer and get the following:In other pages I was able to use the > sign at item 1 or in some cases the 3 dots at 2 would open up more. But not for this PoolTasksList. Anyone an idea? Regards,Steve

Please can anyone help explain an issue we are having with the Place Lookup on the IFS6 u6 customer portal… We 710 portal places per portal user, when you bring up the place lookup from the new request screen, the popup place lookup states that it is showing 699 places (and it is as I counted them), not the 710 that we have loaded (if I look in the metadata for that screen, there are indeed 710 places)  These 610 places are also sorted randomly, not in order.  if you only have a small amount of places then they are sorted.  I have had as little as 370 places in the list but these also did not sort.Would greatly appreciate if anyone could assist with this.

Does anyone know of a Grammar Checking Software that can integrate with IFS?  How are others dealing with grammatical issues that come from Field Engineer’s in the Service Management realm? 

I believe there is some limit that is being exceeded (Timeout=100000). Do we know if these emails are being sent asynchronously? Customer is trying to email a large volume of smtp  email messages, we get an error, but in smaller groups of emails around 100-125 they are processed without error. Would you know what would be causing this? Timestamp: 2020-10-21T01:48:00.8462035+00:00Message: Exception Message : The following system level exception was generated by the application: Communication error sending smtp mail message: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.To:Contact your system administrator for assistance.

I am trying to access the list data in the ‘task’ list on the ‘My Tasks Today’ page on the Tech Portal.  I have tried:   var listData=getFormDataLists('task');var listLength=listData.length;alert(listLength);   But this just returns 0, when there are tasks there?   What i am trying to do is retrieve the tasks, then cycle through them and then performing a dirty read on a checkbox i have added (user_def2), any that are checked will then be updated.

How could I change time type automatically on a work task  time report based on time of day? I have a service work order with service contact. Customer says you can visit the site M-F 8-4. Anything outside those hours we can bill overtime.  Ideas how i can do that in apps 10?  I know about scheduling preference and scheduling availability but nothing that translates availability into pricing markups. AKA coverage time.

Hi, does IFS (Apps 10) have native functionality to lock records for editing, or if not, are there plans to implement such a feature?In particular with Work Orders, our Planners are asking whether its possible for a Work Order to be “locked” while they’re in there so others can’t make changes.We are aware this is the intention of the “Under Preparation” status indication on WO’s, but they’re asking whether it can be an automatic lock/unlock instead.

Hi AllWe are on IFS Apps 10 and have recently tried to add a new logical printer to IFS. This is our first time adding a new printer. Our Application and Print Servers are separate to spread the load with the print server hosting all print and reporting services.On our Print Server we have completed:Installed the Printer Drivers and created a Print QueueUpdated the config file (ifs-printagent-config.xml)Restarted the Print Service (IFSPAService_IFSL)Within the Application we have:Created the new logical printer with the same name/ case as the print queue on the print server and what is in the config file (e.g. TESTPRINTER1)Attempted to print a report.On the Print Jobs screen in IFS we get the following error:“The Print Job can not be printed. The selected printer is not mapped to any Print Agent.”When I check the Print Service logs on the Print Server it is full of errors similar to:“[059] 15/10/2020 12:26:59: Registering...[059] 15/10/2020 12:26:59: Failed to register![059] 15/10/2020

Every time I go onto the scheduler I get an error message on opening the map view & can’t see engineers’ homes? Kind RegardsLouise Clarke  

Hello, I’ve noticed an issue that I believe is the result of a misconfiguration on our tenant. Currently, our maintenance group is able to log into Work Orders for repairs. They can clock out and close the WO as well, all while being off the “payroll” timeclock. I assumed the behavior for S&M was the same as the shop floor clocking. In the event an associate tries to clockin to a Shop Order, the system would prompt them and state that they are not clocked into timeclock. They are then automatically clocked in. Likewise, they cannot clock out of timeclock if they are still clocked into a Shop Order. This behavior doesn’t appear to be available for the service and maintenance group. Is this correct, or can the same functionality be extended to that group? My concern is that there will be a lot of errant clocking if S&M users are able to independently log time to WOs and clock on and off timeclock without any cross checking. Thank you!
