Scheduler +1 day feature
Darcy had a great idea the other day when I visited. His suggestion was that as weather often interrupts their work a '+1 day' button that shifted the whole schedule out by a day would be a real time saver.
Changes to Invoices
We have just noticed after doing a batch of invoices in Xero that the 'charge type' field without the (hr / ha) reference is now pushing through to Xero rather than the 'tasks' field.
Tasks
It would be really useful to be able to get a report of a resource (Driver) by task by date range. is this possible.
Search boxes stay in my worked by column on a job- how do I remove these?
Dionne raised this one, its a goodie but an oldie that was raised by some of our first customers however we all got used to the work arounds sometimes that we forget they need to be fixed good! thanks Dionne a fresh pair of eyes has brought this one to the surface!
When assigning resource in the "worked by" column we can be left with some "search" boxes which when the job is saved stay there - can these be removed?
Would it be possible to add a Daily Summary of Workers hours report?
Dionne has asked (following how to create a complete time entry) if it would be possible to add a Daily Summary of Workers hours report?
Automatic Complete for Jobs where tasks are all completed
This is a oldy but a goodie, Dionne raised it again on another ticket and it deserves one all of its own to watch progress on. [JBFLOW-121 in JIRA - raised April 2016].
When all tasks are complete can the job status automatically change to complete?
This is in todays release - when all tasks are completed on a job the job status changes automatically to complete - awesome work team :)
How do I re-set a task that has been accidentally started?
A mobile operator has accidentally started the wrong task, paused it and let me know - how is this re-set so it shows as not started?
Other operators have already logged time against the task and some are in-progress so we dont want to lose this information.
Thanks Dionne for raising this one, I am sure more people will come across this!
1. Ask the operator to 'finish" the prematurely started task and make a comment to say accidentally started or the like.
2. Duplicate the task on the job - re-assigning the operator etc to it.
3. (optional) alter the date of the accidentally started task, so having two tasks the same on the same day doesnt confuse the operator.
now the operator will see just one "new" (which is the duplicated) task in their "My Task" List.
You can see both tasks one with a bit of time it took to realise it was the wrong one and phone in with a note on it and the new task that the operator will start again when the time is right.
Incomplete jobs
Could all incomplete jobs dates be moved to todays date by default? If they need rescheduling we can then wok form a current date.
Can I change a Job Template after started...eg square baling job becomes a round baling job?
There really isnt an easy way to change over - you could change the template over on an existing job - I tested this once a job was scheduled with hours in it. This example was a baling job Ive changed to cartage and it has retained all of the "baling" tasks even the hours worked so far...and the only tasks I can now add are the cartage tasks on the template.
Operator has time in activity log but "actuals" not in my admin screen
Nigel at Mehrtens has reported repeated instances of an operator starting/finishing a job(can see time in the activity log) and no actual size or hrs on the admin view.
This occurs when the operator hits 'confirm actuals' without making a entry on the screen or navigates away ( selects the back arrow at the top...looses connection) at that point.
In the example below if I hit confirm actuals it will log the size as 200 but the time as 0.00 as there are no hours entered.
Is there a way we can provide a back-up mechanism or alert that says youve not entered any hours are you sure you want to confirm or leave this page? (or similar)
