How to find the map symbol on mobile phone.

Map function update

The map under To Do now shows colors by status, including color from “own status”. When you change your search/filter, the map automatically zooms in/out to include all objects in view.

If you hover over the symbol, you will see information about the order.

Map is also available to show all your Service objects. You can find it under Register – Service object.

Change in timer

Wondering where the Timer went?

In order for the timers to be displayed, Timer settings for time articles for working time, travel time and kilometers need to be set.

Login in with your admin account, click Timer settings under Module settings.

News in Planner settings

Maximum number of bookings showing per day/resource can be set. Click the gear in the Planner. The new setting is saved automatically.

Favorites filter in the Planner/Resource

Have you saved filters as a Favorite in To Do? Now you also see your favorite filters in the Planner under the Resource tab and can filter the list in the same way.

Choose e-mail notifications

In your account settings, you choose whether you want notifications also as e-mail or SMS.
Now you can also set for which activities (created and changed) you want notifications.
Click on your username to access your account settings and mark your choices under Notifications.

A timer is running!

Now you can see if there is a started timer, which is marked with a red exclamation mark.

Number of unfinished timers is also displayed – the top number (5 in the image). An unfinished timer is time that has not yet been linked to an order.

You can see completed timers by clicking on Finished timers at the bottom of the list of your timer notes.

New popup and choice in Timer

Choose which Assignment you want to put the Timer on. What choices you see depends on what settings you have. If you have, for example, the setting for work orders Show Other Articles, there is also Other as a choice here.

This makes it easier to control how you want time and travel to be reported on an order.

Change regarding “Other type”

Other type in the Planner can now be linked to a time report type. This is done in the Planner settings.

Standard color of Other type is black. If you choose another time report type, it is the color that is displayed in the Planner. Of course you can keep Other type and black if desired.

If you do not have Other type as the time report type, the system automatically selects the closest type in the list, usually Normal.

Create orders directly in the Planner

Now you can click on a day in the Planner and immediately create a work order.

  • Select resource.
  • Enter time.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the popup and click Add a new work order.
  • A new work order opens.
  • Fill in the order and click save.

Not  applicable

New service point option – Not applicable

Do you have service points that are not applicable to this particular service order? Instead of having to trash the entire service point, the “Not Applicable” symbol now appears in the list of service items under “Has Status”. This fixes a problem when technicians not having the permission to trash service points.

We now offer integration with two more business systems – SoftOne and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly called “Navision”).

Available integrations can be found under Group settings – Add Integration logged into with your admin account

Development of Customer Register

Long-awaited and now it’s fixed – the ability to sort and filter in the customer register via the detailed list view.

We have also added History on customer cards. Viewing history is a user permission. If you do not have that permission, ask whoever has access to your admin account to set it up. The permission setting is found under Other on the user permission setting page. 

Transfer of module and user permissions

You can now control some user permissions and module settings that were previously set by us. The change does not require any action from you as a customer, all your selected settings are transferred automatically.

The advantage is that you yourself, with your admin account, can activate more modules by setting user permissions.

The modules you still must contact us to activate are: Service (changes the license cost), Leak detection, Klink and Statistics.

Document, analyze and reduce the cost of leaks

Do you service compressed air systems? Then use our Leak Detection module to document leaks. In the module there is an analysis tool where you can quickly see how much the leak cost in money, kWh and in leaked CO², among other things.

Contact us if you want to use Leak Detection and we will activate the module.

Now the time for the booking is displayed!

To Do-, Work Orders– and Service Order Lists and Order Register  ;now shows the status BOOKED and booked time instead of year.

The exception is if the booking is set to start at 00:00 then the continuing year is shown.

The comments can be changed or deleted, shown to the customer or only internally.

You know you can also let your customer users write and reply to comments on “their” orders? Assigned technician receives a notification when a comment is entered by the customer.

Free mark as Completed in Time Report

Frustrated that a time report cannot be marked Completed because distributed hours do not correspond to entered working hours? We fixed a new setting you can test. The setting enables you to mark completed even if the reported hours are not corresponding with your working hours set in the User settings. 

Do this:

  • Log in with your admin account.
  • Under Module Settings, click Edit Time Report Settings.
  • Under View Settings, click Free mark as completed.

Better control of booking confirmations

Handling booking confirmations on orders has become easier. Now you see when a booking confirmation has been sent to the contact person on the order, if the booking has changed after the confirmation has been sent and can send directly from the detail view of an order.

In the booking confirmation, we have also added the order number.

What assignment am I on?

To make it a little clearer where you are in an order, we added an information box at the top that indicates which assignment you are on (the service object + the description of the assignment). If you click on the box, you will reach the top of the assignment.

The box is only available in mobile.

Link an agreement to rental

Renting is still under development and new features are added now and then. The newest is the possibility to add a contract or a sales order to a booked rental.

February

This is what the latest Service Order for a Piper PA28-181 Archer III – SE-LOE- looks like. Sorry, only in Swedish.

Can an Aero Club use serviceprotocol.com?

Borås Flygklubb (BFK) is one of our slightly more unusual users of Serviceprotokoll.se. We asked Pelle Ålander, a member of BFK, about how the club uses the system.

– I use the system to follow up on the work on air safety directives from EASA and FAA (AD) and Manufacturers Service Bulletins (SB ) and manual editions. I add the latest version which then pops up in the next service.

We run everything every quarter and all AD / SB every month.
The system makes it easy to assign to someone else, if you can not or are away.

The plan from the beginning was to add service to our aircraft in the system, but as it looks today, our members would rather have it manually. Maybe it will be in the future.”

Purchase order fix

Purchase orders can now be ready-marked “Set as ready” and as sent “Set as sent“.

The colors in list mode change and show the current status, just like for other orders. Green for created, orange for started and dark blue for finished. 

News in Storage

You can now export inventory lists in a storage and transaction history.

Click the Download icon. Inside a warehouse it is black. In the Transaction History it is blue.

At the bottom, inside a layer, you will now also find the Migrate button. With it, you move (make a delivery) quickly and easily all goods from one storage to another.

Updated logo and design

Even a good website can be better. Therefore, we have tweaked the design a bit to make the page even a little more accessible. Hope you like the changes!

We skipped OO Software in the new logo. But it is still OO Software AB that owns and developed Serviceprotocol.com.

Development of the Storage function

With the help of our customers, we have now developed the Storage function. Thanks for the help!

The development involves some new user settings. Sign in with your admin account and go to the User Preferences for your employees. Under the heading Storage you’ll find new setting options:

  • Create Inbound and Outbound Delivery.
  • Use non-standard storage.
    (By default, a user can only deliver from and to their default storage.)
  • Show remaining articles during inventory
    (Use in an inventory if a user needs to see items that have not yet been inventoried.)
Inventory value

We’ve added a inventory value field to the items in the inventory, as well as a summary of the inventory value to facilitate your posting.

Inventory value exists for & nbsp; all & nbsp; your inventories, not just the main inventory. This means that you quickly see the stock value of the stock, for example in a technician’s car.

Delivery from Purchase order

You can also Create Delivery to any storage directly from a Purchase Order.

Kompressorteknik ML AB chose Serviceprotocol.com!

Kompressorteknik ML AB services and repairs compressors, fans and pumps. Their focus is mainly on biogas and brewing operations. Kompressorteknik ML AB buys used compressors which they renovate and rent out or sell. Customers are located throughout Scandinavia.

We asked some questions to Magnus Elnertz , CEO of Kompressorteknik ML AB

Why did you choose serviceprotokoll.se?
The first hit on Google, too lazy to look further. ☺️
I met Börje (Kroon) at a trade fair about a year ago where he presented his idea. Then I think it’s been in the back of my mind.

What do you like best about our system?
What we mainly looked for when we chose service protocols was to get a system with machine history to be able to follow up what has been done on each customer and machine.
Great that the system itself also creates the next service based on operating hours.
Really good to be able to invite customers in the system so they can see history and what is booked.

Do you order from Crown?

Now we’ve fixed so delivery notes and invoices from Crown go directly into Fortnox.
