    OFSC Open Source Developments - Data Loader100%

    Title:
    OFSC Open Source Developments - Data Loader
    Content:

    Hello OFSC community. A few have asked me about using the data migration and management tool I built for OFSC. Apologies if I didn't respond, I have just been very busy. I'd like to open source the project, that way we have the best chance of keeping up with the rapid pace of development, and it starts to build a free and healthy open source culture in the community.

    I have some other projects I'd like to open source, including a collaboration event triggering system for the new 19B patch, which I'm very excited about.

    I'm keen to learn if there are others in the community who invest any of their time in an open source group. It would also be good to connect with users, both those who have some spare time to help test, document, and who would like a voice in driving an open source roadmap supplementing OFSC's fantastic capabilities.

    I put a lot of thought into making the data loader as dynamic as possible, which means that it has features like synchronisation with the metadata API, so the moment you add a new field in OFSC, it is available in the tool. I'm working on tools to batch load testing/dummy data for easy routing trials!

    I have a couple of points to iron out on deployment and security with the help of the OFSC team, so if anyone would like to get early access then please get in touch.

    Custom inventory properties not available to message...
    Topic posted November 20, 2019 by DHANAPAL GOWDARed Ribbon: 250+ Points, tagged Inventory / Parts 
    Title:
    Custom inventory properties not available to message scenario on inventory deinstalled event
    Summary:
    Custom inventory properties not available to message scenario on inventory deinstalled launch condition
    Content:

    We have a message scenario configured to Inventory is Deinstalled launch condition, where we need to pass some inventory custom properties like  I_SUBINVENTORY_CODE,I_SUBINVENTORY to external application. When we push resource inventory to OFSC from external system we pass values to above custom properties only.

     

    Within message scenario body when we use these properties system does not return any value but when we use A_SUBINVENTORY_CODE,A_SUBINVENTORY properties the values in I_SUBINVENTORY_CODE,I_SUBINVENTORY are returned. Unable to understand this behavior, did anybody face the same issue? or could anybody plz help me understand how is this possible?

    Cannot create required inventory without model
    Topic posted September 30, 2019 by Diana CunhaRed Ribbon: 250+ Points, tagged API / Integration, Configuration, Inventory / Parts 
    Title:
    Cannot create required inventory without model
    Summary:
    Cannot create required inventory without model
    Content:

    Hi,

    I created inventory types without specifying the model property to use, since in our context/business the model is not necessary. I checked that is possible to create inventory to add to the technician and customer/activity without having to define a model. However, it seems to be mandatory to send this field when creating required inventory via API in an activity, which is not the wish.

    Is there any way to create required inventory without using a model property, just inventory type and quantity?

    Thanks,

    Diana Cunha

    Capturing Customer Inventory using BLOCK Type...1
    Topic posted August 13, 2019 by Ben Abbott, tagged Configuration, Inventory / Parts 
    Title:
    Capturing Customer Inventory using BLOCK Type "customer_inventory"
    Summary:
    Customer Inventory is not being returned using the BLOCK Type "customer_inventory"
    Content:

    Hello,
    I am trying to return a list of the inventory in the customer pool. I haven't been able to return any information in the messages using the following

    Subject:
    TestBlock

    Pattern:
    The inventory that remains on WO# {activity_number} is:
    <BLOCK type="customer_inventory" >
    {inventory_serial_number}
    </BLOCK>

    The block type is showing up blank (see attached screenshot: test_block.png)

    Is there something wrong with the syntax I am using?

    Assignment based on inventory parts1

    Title:
    Assignment based on inventory parts
    Content:
    Hi Gurus, Please state if this scenario can be done. If yes can anyone elaborate in how to do it. While creating a activity the manager will assign few parts to that activity. And when routing those activities to a technician, is it possible for the routing engine to analyze the technicians with the same parts and assign it to the technician. If those parts are not available in the technicians inventory the routing engine should not assign that activity.

    Hiding "end activity" if no inventory items added...Answered4
    Topic posted May 3, 2019 by Antero MakinenBlue Ribbon: 750+ Points, tagged Configuration, Inventory / Parts, Mobility / Mobile Apps 
    Title:
    Hiding "end activity" if no inventory items added and populating field according to added items
    Content:

    Hey, 

    First question:
    We have a situation that we don't want technicians to complete activities without adding any inventory items. So basically if ActualAmount = 0, hide "end activity" button. 
    Is there a way to do this without adding extra properties?

    Currently we've done this so that when ending activity, it just shows a checkbox which asks technician "have they added all the needed items", but as you know this isn't enough because it doesn't actually check that.

    I noticed that there was similar issue about showing inventory.properties in activity end screen and it was already posted to Idea Lab, which was great! yes

    Second question:
    Can I populate a field according to what inventory item is added to activity? (Currently I just want to think about ONE added item + one field populate according to that).

    For example, if technician adds item "X" to activity, then populate field Y with "00000-22222-33333".

    Thanks guys and have a nice weekend!

    Antero

    Making an Inventory property available in Activity screen5
    Topic posted March 22, 2019 by Marc ***Red Ribbon: 250+ Points, tagged Configuration, Inventory / Parts 
    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.

    Inventory Message Placeholder for individual quantity2

    Inventory Message Placeholder for individual quantity
    Content:

    Hello all,

    Is there any available Inventory Message Placeholder for individual quantity ?  (except inventory_quantity)
    I see that when multiple installation are executed on the same activity, quantity is being calculated each time.


    Thanks in advance.
