Overview

Overview

Originally designed to advise techs of calls just moved to PA (Parts Available), this alert is now a complete overview of the call, including item detail, notes on whether those items are returnable, and when the call was moved to its new Hold Code. Note: This alert is tech-aware but not tech-manager-aware (the tech manager checkbox does not work). You can also leave Variable W and Variable X blank if you don't wish to be notified of all Hold Code changes.

 

Run Schedule:  Every 15 minutes

Type of Output: Email

There are four scenarios that will trigger the alert:

1. The call status is changed from Pending to On-Hold, and Variable W equals 'Set'.

2. The call status changed from On-Hold to Pending, and Variable Z equals 'Release'.

3. The call changed from one On-Hold code to another On-Hold code, and Variable Y equals 'Change'.

4. The call changed from one On-Hold code to another On-Hold code, Variable Y is set to 'SpecifiedHold', and the current On-Hold code is one identified in Variable Z.

On-hold codes in e-automate can be found by going to Tools - Lists and Codes - On Hold Codes:
