Help Desk (Tech Help)

PROBLEMS

The Help Desk Module relieves maintenance and technical staff from paperwork, freeing up their time to address requests.

The Tech Help Problems area allows you to view and edit any open, denied, in progress, completed, hold or future order.

Search for an order:

You can search for an order by status, location, technician, month and year. Select from the drop downs and hit Show.  

Note: Open records ignore year criteria.  An advanced search feature is also available by clicking the Advanced Search link for more options.

Print multiple orders:

Change Status:

You can change the status of orders all at one time.

Assign Tech Help Requests to Technicians en masse:

You can assign multiple orders to a technician.

Edit an order:

To view or edit an individual order, click on the details link. In this area, you can update the status, assign a priority level and technician as well as update the category, and attach up to 3 files and/or links. Comments for staff view or internal only can be added here also. Hit Save when finished.

Email Technicians:

You can select to email technicians on a work order as well as other people. Click on the 'click here to send additional emails link under Lead Technician in a work order. Multiple requests can be assigned to a technician and an email can be sent to the technician about the multiple requests.

Internal comments box - Given the Problems page has the ability to assign several requests at once, any comments entered in the internal comments box will be added to ALL requests that are assigned (as opposed to the internal box on the request details page).

To add hours to the order, click on the Hours tab. Enter in the time and whether it's regular or overtime. Hit Save.

To print the individual order, click on the Review or Worksheet tab.

Billing tab - You can add up to 4 descriptions, budget codes and amounts at a time. A new report has also been created called Billing by Location.

To delete an order, click on the Delete tab.
