    Working on past activityAnswered10

    Title:
    Working on past activity
    Content:

    Hi Gurus,

    As per OFSC functionality we know that the past activity cannot be moved or cloned. That particular activity will stay in the technician bucket forever. 

    Is there any way to move the past activity. In our customer scenario the technician may not start the activity in the allocated day. In case if he misses to reschedule the activity what are the cases to clone/move the activity to the current date without making the activity to stay in past date without any response.

    Thanks,

    Madhu

    Making an Inventory property available in Activity screen5

    Title:
    Making an Inventory property available in Activity screen
    Summary:
    Making an Inventory property available in Activity screen
    Content:

    In End activity form, we need to configure a default validation based on an Inventory property. For example in the End activity form a text line will display "Price not added" if a specific inventory.property is empty.

    The problem is inventory properties are not available in the End activity form. And in my case I cannot use a message step to pass the inventory property value to an activity property because there is no event triggered when the user adds a price in the inventory field.

    Hello all! We are working with the new application screens for the dispatcher role.

    Has anyone found how users can edit route activation/deactivation times - activity start/end times etc? I am wondering if we have something misconfigured or if this is not possible when working with application screens.

    Forcing 2 Decimal Places on a String Property in Mobility4100%
    Topic posted March 21, 2019 by Ben Abbott, tagged Configuration, Mobility / Mobile Apps 
    Title:
    Forcing 2 Decimal Places on a String Property in Mobility
    Summary:
    A field called "subtotal_markup_parts" has a regex configured, but the values are not constrained once the field is calculated
    Content:

    Hello,

    The customer has a string property called "Subtotal w/ Markup" [label = subtotal_markup_parts] which has a regex configured:
    /^(?!.{8,})\d{1,6}(\.\d{1,2})?$/

    The regex is supposed to force the value of this property to be limited to 2 decimal places, however it seems that since this property displays the calculation of two other properties, the regex doesn't work. See the below 3 screenshots:
     


    subtotal_markup_parts is configured as so =  subtotal_markup_parts.png
    name: Subtotal w/ Markup
    label: subtotal_markup_parts
    regex: /^(?!.{8,})\d{1,6}(\.\d{1,2})?$/

    It is configured in the display to show the value of the product of these two fields =   subtotal_end_activity_screen.png
    Default Value: (activity.subtotal_parts * activity.markup_parts)

    And then in the instance, we can see that the regex doesn't apply and that the property incorrectly shows 6 decimal places =  subtotal_mobility.png
    >> the value displays as 168.936375  when it should be 168.94

    Why doesn't the regex apply to a property that displays calculations? 
    Also I know that this property could use language expressions but there doesn't seem to be a way to for the limit of 2 decimal plays for a number - are there any other ways this might be accomplished?

    Using actions in Manage from Mobility for Dispatchers4

    Title:
    Using actions in Manage from Mobility for Dispatchers
    Summary:
    Using actions in Manage from Mobility for Dispatchers
    Content:

    We are trying to switch to using Mobility instead of Legacy Manage for Dispatchers since this is what is advised from Oracle regardless of the user type. I have some questions about the Manage screen since compared to the standard Dispatch Console, Manage seems to lack some possibilities:

    We have added actions such as activate route from the Resource hint configuration (this is the only place which it seems that can be configured in Manage). But the only things that we can still do from the Resource hint is use the resource info and resource route buttons.

    https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/field-service/19a/famcu/working-with-time-view-in-mobility.html#c_aboutResourceHints

    So these actions are available for using them from the configuration but does not actually display?

    Search activity using activity idAnswered4

    Summary:
    Search activity using activity id
    Content:

    We are setting up the activity search (from Business Rules) and we have noticed that it does not work with the activity id (aid). Otherwise the search is functional even with custom properties.I searched the documentation

    https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/field-service/19a/faadu/configure-oracle-field-service-cloud.html#t_define_search_fields_for_core_manage

    https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/field-service/19a/faaca/dispatcher-activities.html#t_searchforactivity

    and did not find any mention that it only works for certain fields or if it need some sort of extra configuration. Does anyone know how this works or can verify if that is not supported?

    Test in Production Instance
    Content:

    Hi Gurus,

    It is uncertain to test our configuration in prod instance. To know our configurations are working fine in prod before delivering to the customer, how do we test?

    Could anyone suggest me ways to test the configurations?

     

    Thanks,

    Filtering resources based on assigned work zones3
    Topic posted March 11, 2019 by Paul RogersSilver Medal: 2,000+ Points, tagged Configuration, Resource Management 
    Title:
    Filtering resources based on assigned work zones
    Summary:
    Identifying resources located outside of a bucket, but with temporary work zones assigned for that bucket
    Content:

    With the introduction of functionality to assign temporary work zones to resources and the "use resources outside the capacity area" feature, it is now possible for a resource to contribute minutes to a different bucket in the resource tree to the one they are visibly located within.

    We are looking at trailing this functionality, and we need to ensure that our dispatch teams can see resources that they are able to assign activities in any work zone within a bucket, regardless of their position in the resource tree.  This would include resources able to be assigned work in multiple buckets at the same time, or where they will be moving buckets in the future but we need to plan their work in the new bucket before they move.

    I have tried to create filters based on resource assigned work zones with a view to applying them hierarchically at a higher level in the resource tree.  But if multiple work zones are chosen, the work zones are filtered based on a logical AND.  Is it possible to filter resources where they have at least one of a list of work zones assigned?
