View and interact with a job in the Skedulo Plus mobile app.

Overview

In the Skedulo Plus mobile application, a resource can view and interact with their work on the work details screen.

Tap on the work you want to view on the Agenda to open the work details screen. By default, it displays a map with the work location, salient information about the work, and any actions that can be performed. There may also be notes, forms, and other functionality, depending on how your administrators configure the layout of the mobile app. You can perform the following actions:

  • View the the work details.
  • Update the work status.
  • Check work contact details.
  • Add notes.
  • Check off a task list.
  • Add signatures and attachments.

Timezone alert

Skedulo Plus automatically adjusts to your device’s current timezone. We recommend setting the date and time to update automatically on your iOS or Android mobile device. If your timezone changes, Skedulo Plus will adjust to match your device’s new timezone.

When your device’s timezone differs from the work’s scheduled region time, an alert message will appear in the work details to inform you of the discrepancy.

For example, if you are in New South Wales (AEDT) and the work is scheduled for 9 AM NSW time (AEDT). Then you travel to Queensland (AEST), your mobile device automatically changes the timezone to QLD (AEST).

An example of a warning message

In Skedulo Plus, the work time will adjust from 08:00 to 09:00 to reflect the new local time in Queensland. The alert message will indicate:

  • Local time: 8:00 AM (AEST), based on your device’s timezone.
  • Job region time: 9:00 AM (AEDT), the timezone where the job is scheduled to occur.

Update the work status

When a work item has been dispatched, you can open the work details screen and tap to either Accept or Decline the work.

If you accept the work, you can use the same button to update the work status as you progress. The standard workflow is:

  • Accept Job - Accept the assigned work.
  • Start Travel - Start travel to the work address. The work status changes to En Route after you select a travel and navigation option.
  • Check In - Arrive on-site at the work location.
  • Start Job - Start the work.
  • Complete Job - When the work is finished.

The Skedulo standard workflow with its work allocation states.

Travel and navigation

The Select a navigation option options menu pops up when you tap Start Travel.

Travel and navigation
  • Skip Navigation - Tap this option to start traveling to the work without using any map navigation. This option will still track travel to the work in the background.  
  • Navigate with Google/Apple Maps - Tap this option to open either Google Maps or Apple Maps (only on iOS) and begin navigating to the work location.

Work actions

The Actions button becomes available after a work item has been accepted by a resource.

Actions button

The following work actions are available:

  • Cancel job

    Cancel an allocated job that has been accepted. This action only appears when the administrator allows resources to cancel allocated jobs in this settings.

  • Completion notes

    Add completion notes to work items at any point. Once you save your completion notes, they can be viewed by a scheduler in the web app. This action only appears when the administrator allows resources to do job completion notes in this settings.

  • Navigate to address

    Open either Google Maps or Apple Maps (only on iOS) and begin navigating to the work location.

  • Manage time

Account contact details

Add notes

Add relevant notes and work information. This information can be viewed by schedulers using the web application once you save it.

Schedulers can also add notes to a work that can be read by the mobile user. These notes are available even after a work item has been completed, and can be used to provide additional information on follow-up work.

A task list

Some work items have a list of tasks that need to be completed.

By default, all tasks must be marked as complete before you can complete the work. However, this can be set as optional by an administrator based on your team’s needs.

These tasks appear in the Skedulo Plus as a checklist, which you can check off or uncheck them.
