AT&T Forms - How to Dispatch a Form

Dispatching allows an administrator to choose which mobile user should fill out a form, and to provide important information on the task. 

 

For example, you can direct a technician to a customer location, with instructions on the work to be done there.  This can help mobile workers arrive prepared for their next site visit, allowing them to get right to the central task at hand.

Dispatch Metadata with FC Forms

It is possible to dispatch data into the following fields:

  • Notes: These can be a maximum of 256 characters

  • Priority: This can be Low, Normal or High.  If you do not assign a priority it will default to Normal or No Priority

  • Due Date: If you do not supply a timezone, it will default to the dispatcher’s team timezone

  • Location: Type in an address

 

Easily assign notes, priorities, due dates, and locations to dispatches, giving mobile users the tools they need to efficiently plan their work in the field. Your mobile users can get a high-level look at their assigned jobs without needing to look at each individual form: they can sort based on the information right from the inbox.

How to Dispatch into Metadata Fields

  • Additional boxes at the top of the dispatch screen, allow you to fill in the metadata information. Just add the information you need. You do not have to fill out every piece of metadata information.

  • The notes will display beneath the dispatched form’s name on your mobile user’s inbox.  The others can act as filters by tapping the different tabs at the top of the inbox.
