Overview of the Service Board Screen
The Service Board can be used by service managers to monitor Arrivals, Departures and to schedule work. A high-level overview of each tab is provided below.
Arrivals Tab
The Service Board opens to the
Arrivals tab. The Arrivals tab gives you an overall picture of the units waiting to be repaired. The Service Board is also color coded. Units checked in without required work, defects, or overdue preventative maintenance are highlighted in green, units checked in with required work are highlighted in yellow, and units with overdue PMs, defects, or overdue campaign work are highlighted in red. This helps prioritize urgent repairs.
This tab is also used to check in additional units, work can be scheduled, and
repair estimates can be created.
Check in Units / Schedule Work
You can check units or schedule upcoming work using the
Schedule and
Check In buttons.
Clicking either button will pop-up the wizard below to search for the appropriate unit. Search for and then select the appropriate unit.
In the next step, use the Service Programs, MOTOR, VMRS, and/or RO History tabs to search for and add required work to the unit by drilling down on the icons and clicking on the green pluses to add required labor activities. This will also show any work required already on the unit. You can skip this step and check in the unit without specifying required work. Click Next at the bottom right to continue.
On the next screen, you can specify which technician or technicians are assigned to the job by first dragging and dropping the work required onto the calendar.
Then adding the specified technician to the work.
This step may also be skipped. Click Submit at the bottom right to exit the wizard and add the unit to your Service Board screen.
Departures Tab
On the
Departures tab, you can check out or remove units on your
Arrivals tab. This cancels any work in progress. This is useful if you have checked in a unit by mistake and need to clear it from your service board, or if your customer needs to take a unit back before work is completed. Click on the
Check Out button to remove the unit.
Work In Progress Tab
Technician Status Tab

P - Pause (timer is running, and any elapsed time will be added to the next unit they select)

Monitor Parts Ordered for RO Tab
The Monitor Parts Ordered for RO tab lists any outstanding part purchase orders that have been linked to a repair order. This allows managers to keep track of repairs that are waiting on parts to be received. Parts can be also received directly from this screen using the
Receive buttons.
Scheduled Tab
The scheduled tab lists any units that are assigned and scheduled to a technician. Scheduled jobs can be dragged and dropped into different time slots.
Booking Requests
The Booking Requests tab lists any Booking Requests made by customers with access to the Customer Access Portal, contact the Customer Experiece team for more information.
