3 Home The Home page shows your assigned tasks. The right panel shows work orders that have been assigned to you. The work order number, the customer, the make/model/serial number of the unit (if the unit was indicated on the work order in the business system), the title of the work order and the date opened displays. A status icon just to the left of each work order lets you immediately determine if the work order is in progress, on hold, completed, etc. A Pending Verification status shows you if a work order has been completed but data is still being transmitted. This can happen if a problem with connectivity has occurred. Tap a work order to open. The left panel lets you filter the list, making it easy to find the work order you need. Tap to filter the list to new work orders, a list of customers with open work orders, planned maintenance work orders, a list of scheduled maintenance jobs, work orders waiting on parts or work orders that are ready for work. Tap the icons on the upper right black bar to jump to the work order list, PM s list or Inventory. Return to top.

4 Customers The Customer page shows all customers that have work orders assigned to you. That means that all customers do not display, only those with open work orders assigned to your tech ID. The customer phone number and street address display on the left. The name of the primary contact person at the dealership, the number of open planned maintenance work orders and the number of open work orders display to the right. Tap the globe icon on the right to access a street map for this location. Tap Customer Guided Search to filter the list to only those customers with open work orders or only those customers with PM s Due.

5 Tap Create WO to create a new work order. Select a customer and then select from a list of equipment for that customer. The equipment cannot be left blank. Next, select the Job Code and Type of Service and add a title and description of the repairs needed. Return to top.

6 Inventory The Inventory list screen lets you search your inventory without having to open a work order. Tap to sort by part number or by manufacturer in either ascending or descending order. Adding or changing part numbers for a specific work order must be done on the individual work order.

7 Use Inventory Guided Search to filter by manufacturer or to filter by a specific location, such as the main warehouse, a consignment locker or your van. Icons just to the right show if the part is a reman or hazardous part. Return to top.

8 Work Orders The Work Order list screen shows a list of your assigned work orders. The work order number, unit information, and work order title show on the left. The street address of the customer, the main contact, date opened and the number of open work orders and PMs for the same customer show on the right. Tap to open a work order. A status icon just to the left of each work order lets you immediately determine if the work order is in progress, on hold, completed, etc.

9 Just below the status icon, a red gear shows you if the work order includes backordered parts. At the very bottom of the work order list screen shows the current job in progress. This lets you instantly access the current work order from any screen. If the list of work orders is large, a Guided Search lets you filter the list of work orders. Filter the list to show for a particular customer or a particular status. Work Order Details Once you open a work order, you can view and enter complete work order details. Work Order Status The work order status displays at the top. If your dealership is configured to do time clock entries by status, then each time the work order status is changed, a clocking entry will be initiated. According to the labor code that you have associated with each Work Order status, a time clock labor entry is automatically generated. Initially the status will be Not Started but you can tap to change the status: In Route-automatically generates a time clock labor entry. Arrived-automatically closes the previous time clock entry, generates a new entry and changes the In Progress work order indicator at the bottom of the screen. Working-automatically closed the previous time clock entry and generates a new labor entry. Waiting/On Hold-closed the previous time clock entry. Customer Signed-this status can be manually changed but is also automatically changed when the customer signs the work order. This does not stop the clocking entry. Work Completed-closes the previous time clock labor entry and generates a confirmation to the customer, to the technician and to the back office. The address for the back office is entered in the initial configuration done by DIS. Technician Rejected-generates an to the back office so the work order can be reassigned to another tech. Customer Refused-generates an to the back office so the work order can be cancelled or reassigned.

10 Tip! Be aware that having the customer sign the work order changes the work order status but does not stop the clocking entry. The status must be changed to Work Completed for the clicking entry to be closed. Non-Billable Time-included at the bottom of the work order status list is a shortcut that allows you to enter a non-billable time, such as break or lunch. At the same time the clocking entry is made, the work order is automatically put on hold. When you return, tap the status to change back to Working. Only one work order can be In Progress at a time. One a work order is In Progress, it will display a link at the bottom of any screen. This allows you to look up another customer, check part inventory, or even display or update another work order, and then jump directly back into your current work order from anywhere in the app. 4 buttons just to the right of the work order status lets you tap to view customer information, view a list of equipment owned by this customer, view a list of parts in inventory or add a work order segment or a quote. Adding a Segment Segments can be initiated from within an existing work order, regardless of the work order status. If additional work needs to be done, tap Add to add a segment.

Adding a Quote Quotes can be initiated from within an existing work order, regardless of the work order status. In the event that a tech is working on a piece of equipment and finds that additional work needs to be done, they can tap Add to create a quote.

12 When creating a quote, enter the contact name, phone number, and the estimated labor hours. Be aware that the quote is no longer tied to the work order and instead, must be sent to the back office. Once the quote is sent, it can no longer be changed. Just below the status bar are the various work order screens. Tap to navigate the work order information: Overview Prep -View customer info, equipment info, and enter customer complaint notes Diagnostics -Enter Repair Notes, verify hour meter, odometer, select the type of service and job code.

Tap the edit icon just to the right, enter the current hourmeter and select an option from the dropdown: Replaced, Override, or NA (not applicable). If you are entering an hour meter that is less than the current hour meter, you will receive a warning message. Indicate if the meter has been replaced or if you would like to override the current meter. If the hour meter is a required field and the equipment being worked on does not have an hour meter, indicate N/A (Not Applicable). An icon just to the right of the hourmeter shows you all changes made to the hour meter or the odometer on this work order, along with the date and time of each change. Tap any previous entry to change the hourmeter back. Hourmeter and odometer changes are also tracked on the Private Note section of the work order.

The colored border to the left shows you if there is an item in that section needing further attention. A green border indicates a completed section with no outstanding items, while a red border means a specific item needs further attention. As each task is completed, tap the result, i.e. Adjust, Repair, Urgent, etc. As each item is checked off, the colored border will show a green indicator.

Add Notes Add Note lets you add a note line to the work order and indicate if the note can be displayed to the customer (public) or is for internal only (private). Outside Purchases Outside purchases can be added, along with the cost, quantity and a description of the item. Review The Review section includes both the Technician Review and the Customer Review screens. Only when the technician has reviewed and signed the work order will the Customer Review link appear in the upper right. Technician Review Tech Review lets you review complete notes, parts and labor for this work order. When you have verified all of the info, scroll down to enter your signature. When the work order status is changed to Completed, a confirmation is automatically sent to the technician only when the tech has entered an electronic signature.

21 Once the technician has entered the electronic signature, a link to the Customer Review screen appears in the upper right.

Tap Status at the top of any work order screen (other than the Customer Review screen) and select Completed, as shown below. Changing the status to Complete generates the confirmation s. A confirmation is sent to both the tech and to the customer, as well as any additional recipients indicated on the Customer Review screen. In addition, individual alerts for each closed work order are sent nightly to a designated person at the dealership, as well as a work order completion report. Once the work order has been completed, nothing can be added or changed.

23 The Completed status is reflected on the business system so that the work order can be reviewed and closed. Once a work order is closed on the business system, it no longer shows on the Service Logistics app. Return to top.

24 PM s Due PM s Due shows a list all customer units that are covered by a PM. The serial number, scheduled date and job code display. On the right, the number of PM s due and the number of open work orders display. Tap the unit to create a work order. **Be aware that, depending on your business system, a work order that is not automatically generated on the business system may not accurately update the PM Schedule. Use the Jobs Guided Search to filter the list of PM s Due for a particular customer, or within the number of days due.

25 Time Sheet The Time Sheet screen lets you review your daily time sheet entries. Each entry shows the start and stop time, the work order status and the type of labor. The total hours for Productive and Unproductive time show at the top of the screen. Tap Add Time to enter time for unproductive labor such as vacation, lunch, breaks, etc. You can tap an existing entry to adjust the time or make changes to the labor rate or type, but new entries for productive time must be made on the individual work order. Adding or deleting time sheet entries, or changing the work order number for an entry, must all be done from the individual work order. A warning message will appear in the event of changing the status of a work order that causes a conflict in clocking entries.

26 For example, if an open clocking entry exists and changing the status of a work order would open another clocking entry, you will receive a warning. You can proceed with the entry, in which case, the existing entry is deleted, or you can return and fix the existing entry. Time clock entries are immediately added to the work orders. However, if someone is in the work order on the business system, the clocking entry will not be made. An Outstanding Clocking Report is sent nightly to a designated person and lists all entries which did not update the business system. A lock just to the left of the labor entry means that the entry can no long be changed, i.e. the tech already closed out the day or that the work order was closed. A Time Sheet Guided Search allows you to switch the display to the previous day or tap custom to select a day. Return to top.

27 Close Out The app checks for open work orders and open clocking entries and prompts you to handle these before your day can be closed out. If you tap Close Out Day and an open clocking entry exists, you will be prompted to put the work order On Hold, mark the work order as Complete, or cancel closing out your day, depending on the current status of the work order. If there is an open work order that is marked as Tech Complete with an existing clocking entry, you will be prompted to complete the clocking entry. The status is not changed. If there is an open work order that the customer has signed, you will be prompted to complete the clocking entry. When the clocking entry is stopped, the work order is marked as Complete. If no clocking entry exists, you can either put the work order On Hold or mark as Complete. If there is an open work order with no clocking entry, you will be prompted to put the work order On Hold or cancel closing out your day. If the day has not been closed out, an automatic window pops up. For techs working through the night, this window will appear at midnight. A checkbox allows these techs to continue with an open clocking entry. If you have simply forgotten to close out the day, this window will pop up when you first start the app the next morning. Note: Be aware that if you are beginning a new work day, no not check the box at the top to continue clocking. You must compolete the clocking entry from the previous day. If future entries are found when closing out your day, you will be prompted to delete those entries or cancel the close out.
