We're delivering this automatic upgrade on September 18, 2023, with these highlights:

  • Accounting rules: Automatically assign financial info to work orders when they meet specified criteria to help streamline your accounting processes

  • Contracts: Keep the right people in the know about contract changes by adding notification recipients on the fly

  • Geofencing: Set geofence areas for individual service providers to trigger automated functions for capturing work order history based on assigned providers

  • Log note: Send log notes to the call center so they can take immediate action on a work order as needed

  • Documents: Easily transfer documents from one work order to another when you link work orders, keeping important procedural or compliance information in sync between the two

Streamline work order accounting processes

VXMAIN-27292

Created based on a popular SalesForce IDEA, our new accounting rules allow you to automatically assign account codes or finance codes when work order info matches criteria you specify, such as a particular site type or problem type. This streamlines organizational and approval processes for work order accounting.

Contract notification recipients

VXMAIN-27291

You can now add notification recipients on the fly when you update a contract, letting you notify people who need to know about the contract change in addition to already-designated recipients. This applies to contract updates made via provider sites and the PPM Builder.

Set geofencing at provider level

VXMAIN-27474

You can now set geofence areas via individual service provider settings, allowing automated functions, such as recording work hours based on presence within the geofence area, to apply to work orders based on the service provider. Previously, you could only set geofence areas based on client, site, and site type.

Send log notes to the call center

VXMAIN-27736

You can now notify the call center when you add a log note to a work order, allowing the call center to take action on the work order based on the note. Your SalesForce IDEAs made this happen!

Add documents to linked work orders

VXMAIN-27568

Another SalesForce IDEA implemented! You can now include work order documents when you link one work order to another. When you select the option to include work order documents, attachable documents display, allowing you to select or clear the documents you want to include.
