Initially the Work Order Page will be displayed in a "collapsed" format.

When the Technician needs to view the information for any of the Work Order Page Sub-Headers, he/she must now Click on the Sub-Header Link.
This update increases the speed of the Web Tech Service.

The Work Order Page now has a Contact List Sub-Header Link that provides a list of the People To Call defined for that Subscriber.

Directions, the Salesperson, and Service ID fields have been added to the Work Order Page.
A new Service Performed Link on the Work Order Page now allows the Technician to enter that information anytime (not just when Completing the Work Order).
If the Subscriber - whose Work Order Form is being displayed - has more than one Subscriber Panel CSID defined, the Zone and Description information will be listed for all of those CSIDs.

The Alarm History Link on the Work Order Page now lists the first 50 of the most recent Alarm Signals received from any CSID defined for this Account.

Optionally other sets of Alarm Signals (51-100, 101 - 150, 151 - 200, etc.) may be viewed based on the Link selected.

Web Tech Inventory Items

The Drop-Down Selection List used to Choose the appropriate Inventory Item will now contain only those Sale-Purchase Items which have a Check in the Show on Work Order / Service Request box, and the Quantiy will default to one ("1").

This will now reduce the Drop-Down Selection List list to a manageable size, and more importantly, with a definable content.

Completion Section

When using a touch-screen enabled device, a Signature may now be captured from within the Web Tech Work Order Completion Section and will be stored in the database.

Once a Signature is captured, when that Service Request is printed with MKMS, the hand-written Signature will be reproduced on that printed Work Order.
