Transfer Work Order to the Mobile Device

Explanation

This activity is used to transfer a separate or route work order to IFS Mobile Work Order. You can choose to transfer the work order to a particular mobile user or to all users belonging to the work order site. When a work order is transferred to a common pool of work orders, the user who first accepts the work order will be considered the owner of the work order. The work order will be transferred (or once accepted, removed from the pool) during synchronization between the mobile device and the server.

There can be a need to assign the work order to one user and certain operations on the work order to one or more different users. For such instances, the ID of the user should be entered in the Executed By field on the operation line before performing the transfer. These work orders will be transferred to the mobile device of the relevant user during synchronization and will have the Allocated status. The mobile users will have limited access to performing changes on allocated work order.

Note: If the work order is scheduled by the 360 Scheduling Engine, it will not be possible to transfer the work order to the pool. In this instance, the Pool Work Order check box will be disabled.
