Alert Functionality
Alert Functionality
-Please note this alert will only look back to calls 15 regulars hours (not business hours) old or younger.
-Alert will only notify of qualifying service call once.
-Alert does NOT require equipment be linked to service call in order for alert to report on.
-Next day shipping is determined by the required by date on the line item within the service call. It's not a global setting. It's something the techs are setting when adding the item to the call.
-Bad Sync are part number(s) entered by tech that do not exist in your eAuto and are shown in Remarks tab on service call:
-Meters shown on alert are the last reported Valid Meter Reading(s) set with B\W and Color Category Type. The Category assigned to your meter types can be seen via Tools / Lists & Codes / Meter Types:
If you have more than one meter of same category type (i.e. Three Color Meter Readings), then alert will show the highest meter reading. For example, this device has three color meter readings (LV1, LV2, LV3) but also a Virtual Meter set as Color Category Type, so alert will show the Virtual Meter (114,804) as the Color Meter:

Best Practices & Tips
Best Practices & Tips
-Are you finding the alert is not reporting as you'd expect? The premise is that the tech goes onsite, determines part(s) needed, then marks the call as incomplete for parts. A new call is created, flagged as a reschedule, and then the tech would put the call on hold for parts. Alert will only consider calls marked as reschedules.
