    IOS/Android application Cache Management2

    Title:
    IOS/Android application Cache Management
    Summary:
    How cache is managed on IOS/Android applications?
    Content:

    Please can anyone guide how the cache is managed for IOS/Android mobility apps? If I take a picture and attach it with a mobility form then it will stay in the cache or removed after sync? And how it works with the browser?

    Thanks

    Check out the new forms functionality - It's great
    Summary:
    Quick overview of some of the things I've been playing with. Would be great to see what others have done!
    Content:

    If you haven't got stuck into the functionality of the new form logic that came with 19A yet, it's well worth it!

    Just finished up a small development for a client where I wanted to back out my custom plugin development and make full use of it, and it's worked flawlessly. The technicians are now able to draw, sketch, comment and generally enhance the data volume and quality of site data they capture without hardware or connectivity limitations.

    I re-purposed the signature capture as a 'sketch' pad for back-of-the-cigarette-packet drawing, and I love the new draw on photo feature, modelled by Toy Story 4 and my awe-struck daughter! With a small ICS integration, I was able to poll the subscription and move the valuable data into OSvC for > 90 day retention, and with a DBaaS replication to OAC we can even do sentiment and clustering analysis on the measurable data captured. Oracle Cloud has never felt more connected.

    Hopefully, we'll get some feature detection ML in OAC in the future and then who knows what we could do with all of those images!

    Attached some shots of it in action

    Resource name in activity details & search function4
    Topic posted April 15, 2019 by Antero MakinenBlue Ribbon: 750+ Points, tagged Configuration 
    Title:
    Resource name in activity details & search function
    Summary:
    Looking for a field, which would include bucket's or technician's name to provide quick information where activity is
    Content:

    Hello, 

    I'm looking for a field, that would include the name of the resource (bucket or technician) which has the activity in. We are using the new Core App. In old legacy manage, the resource was shown in parentheses, for example "Activity Details (John The Technician)" when we opened the activity. (See attached image for example).

    I would like to get that information to activity details page so when dispatcher's open activities, they could easily see who has it. Also I'd like to add this field to the search function, so we wouldn't even have to open the activity to see who has that activity in their bucket. I tried "resource.pname" but it's only for the users name who is logged in, and not the resources name which has the activity in. Also, not all these fields are available in the activity configuration because it only includes activity type properties and not resource type properties.

    If there's no field for that, I can post a suggestion to IdeaLab, because I think this is quite important information for users and it should be there to provide better user experience.

    Hopefully I clarified my issue clearly enough. Thanks! :)

    Have visibility only of the activity started or the next...2

    Content:

    we apply a filter with "pending_activity order" < 2, and the technician has visible the activity started and the next pending activity. The goal is that the technician can only see the next pending activity until the current activity ends.

    Default values in Form Editor2
    Topic posted April 10, 2019 by Paul RogersSilver Medal: 2,000+ Points, tagged Configuration, Mobility / Mobile Apps 
    Title:
    Default values in Form Editor
    Summary:
    Setting a default service window or time slot in the Add Activity screen
    Content:

    I'm attempting to identify how to set a default value for "time slot" for activities created using the add activity screen in mobility.

    Some of our workforce use an in-house developed app to manage their jobs, and this app has a mandatory requirement for a service window value in the activity.  Failure for this to be set causes issues with the app.

    To prevent this a default value for "time slot" appears to be a simple solution, but I cannot get this to populate in OFSC. 

    Does anyone have experience of what is the correct format this default value? The time slot I want to use is called 08:00-16:00

    Thanks

    Only order activities by Service Window
    Topic posted April 9, 2019 by Johnny BartonRed Ribbon: 250+ Points, tagged Configuration, Dispatch Functionally, Mobility / Mobile Apps, Routing / Optimization 
    Title:
    Only order activities by Service Window
    Summary:
    How can we configure OFSC to only order appointments based upon the service window?
    Content:

    Hi OFSC brains!

    I've been doing a proof of concept in one of our offices and the one area where we seem to be tripping up is the ordering of appointments - we are adding quite a lot manually still as workers need to be add sessions that aren't booked programatically and as we have clients coming to our buildings we are using small 5 minute service windows to signify the start.

    This works fine in most cases - the problem we are having is with the "Position in Route" where some sessions seem to be automatically placed at the start or end of the day. This seems to be when the day is otherwise empty so there is no option of before or after another activity.

    I have tried removing the drop down altogether on the recommendation of support and scoured he documentation all to no avail. Any top tips to action what should essentially be an OOTB config gratefully received.

    Any way of auto setting the end of the Service Window based upon a single time entry would also be a win!

    Thanks, Johnny
