Article Summary

Using Mobileforce FSM, you can list the installed equipment at a customer location. Installed equipment is equipment that has already been sold to the customer, or already exists at the premises where the service task is to be completed.

Inventory items are used by the following roles:

  • Agent or technicians create installed equipment entries, indicating the equipment that needs service, or is associated with equipment that needs service (for example, the technician is repairing an air conditioner, so maybe both the air conditioner and the furnace are both listed as installed equipment) .
  • Agents and dispatchers associate installed equipment with a service tasks.
  • Technicians review the installed equipment information associated with the service task to ensure that they have the correct equipment, parts, and information to complete the task.

To access the Installed Equipment page, select Installed Equipment from the Field Service menu.
