Completing a work order

Updated on October 6, 2020

As a field worker, you can complete any work order from your work list.

Before you begin: Start a tour, if required. For more information, see Starting a tour.
  1. In the Pega Field Service mobile app, on the My Worklist page, open a dispatched work order by performing one of the following actions:

    • On the My Schedule tab, tap a work order.
    • On the Map tab, tap a work order pin and then tap the work order details.
  2. Review the work order details.

  3. If you cannot perform the work, for example, if you are not equipped to perform the work or the customer is not present at the job location at the scheduled time, submit a request to reschedule or reassign the work order.

    For more information, see Submitting a request to reschedule a work order and Submitting a request to reassign a work order.

  4. On the Overview tab of the work order, to view the configured products, tap the Product Configuration link.
