 + 
 +**Arriving on Site** 
 + 
 +When attending a Call, upon arrival, go into the RECD tab and click ‘Arrive’ to set your start time for the job. If you cannot see the Arrive button and the Call number is in grey, it most likely means that you’re Call isn’t saved to the device. You can re-receive the Call from this screen whilst in Online mode. 
 + 
 +We recommend working on the Calls in Offline mode as much as possible as this will give the best performance. Field Reports that are submitted whilst Online will be submitted straight back to the main database and you will not have a chance to edit them again, whereas saving a Field Report Offline will allow you to edit it before choosing to Upload. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_arrive_at_site.png?400 |}} 
 + 
 +**Starting the Field Report** 
 + 
 +When you are ready to add your Field Report, go into the Call and click the ‘Add Field Report’ button. You’ll see a summary of the Call Details at the top, and then a section to fill in the details of this visit. 
 + 
 +Fill in all of the mandatory fields, and any of the optional fields that you wish to enter. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_filling_field_report.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +**Equipment** 
 + 
 +The next section allows you to enter Equipment details. There are a few different ways that this section can be used: 
 +a) The Equipment is already on the Field Report, and you just need to fill in the Fault, Repair and Solution Notes. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_adding_equipment_to_report.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +b) The Equipment is not on the Field Report, so you need to add it: 
 + 
 +i. To add an existing Equipment item, click ‘Add Equipment’ and then use the dropdown menu or click the Serial or Product buttons to go to a search screen. 
 + 
 +ii. To add a new Equipment record, click the ‘Add New Equipment’ button and fill in all the necessary fields. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_equipment_serial.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +This can be repeated as many times as necessary to list all Equipment on the Field Report. You can then click each section to expand or collapse. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_added_equipment.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Questions** 
 + 
 +Beneath the Equipment section, there is a Questions section. Any Questions that have been configured and linked to this Call Type will show up here, for example on a Service Call you may have a service checklist. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_questions.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +**Field Report Lines** 
 + 
 +Beneath this is the Field Report Lines section. This is where you can add any Parts that you’ve used to your report. You could optionally click ‘Add Part’ underneath a specific Equipment item to link the Parts you’ve used to specific Equipment items, wherever you click, the process is the same: 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_field_report_lines.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +To search through the Parts list, click the grey Part button to the left of the dropdown field. On the Find Parts screen that pops up, there is a search bar on the top right which will search all of the fields on this page and return any matches. Simply click the tick to the left of the Part you wish to select. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_find_parts.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Once you have chosen the part and entered the quantity, click Save Line. You can add as many additional lines as you need to. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_added_field_report_line.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +**Attachments** 
 + 
 +Below the Field Report Lines section is the Attachments section. If you are adding a Field Report in Online mode, you can upload attachments straight away. If you are offline you can set a reminder to upload these when you upload the Call. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_adding_attachments.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +**Final Steps / Field Report Preview** 
 + 
 +When you get to the bottom of the Field Report page, there are two buttons. The button on the left can be clicked to recalculate the finish time of the job and Work Time to include any time spent filling in the Field Report, and the second button allows you to preview the Field Report. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_work_time_calc.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +On the Preview page, all of the fields are greyed out and read only. This is the stage where the customer can take a look and then sign at the bottom once they are happy to. 
 +Once they have signed and entered their name, click ‘Capture Signature’ 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_signature.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Finally, click Save Field Report (either with or without signature). 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Uploading Calls / Offline Data ==== 
 + 
 +When you save a Field Report, if you are in Online Mode it will be submitted straight back to the main database and you will not need to upload it, and also be unable to make any changes. If you are Offline at the time, it will be saved to the device and will require uploading once you go back Online. 
 + 
 + 
 +Note: if you are completing a Call Offline, the Field Report status will show as Complete, however the Call will remain as RECD until it has been uploaded to the server. At this point, it will be marked as Complete. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_upload_call.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +To upload Calls, go Online and then click the ‘Upload’ option at the top of the screen. This Upload option will have a number next to it which indicates how many offline records are saved to the device. 
 + 
 +This could include not only Calls that you’ve completed Field Reports for, but also any Calls that you’ve Received will show up here. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_offline_data.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +There will be three options for each Call – Upload, Edit or Delete: 
 +  *  Click Upload to send the Call back to the main server. If you flagged this Call for Attachments, an attachment section will open up for you to attach the files. 
 +  * Click Edit if you wish to make final changes to the data 
 +  * Click Delete if you wish to remove this data from your device without sending it back to the server – this deletes the data completely and is not reversible. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Attachments ==== 
 + 
 +Attachments can be added either at the point of creating the Field Report if you are Online, or at the point of uploading the Call if you were Offline at the time. 
 + 
 +Both methods work the same – click the ‘add Attachment’ option and you can then choose files from your device. This menu will look different depending on the device you are using, for example on a Windows PC you’ll get the File Explorer, whereas on an Android device you’ll get the ‘Camera Roll’ or ‘Files’ options. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_choosing_attachment.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Choose your attachment, give it a description and then click Save. You can repeat this for as many attachments as you need. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Call Finder ==== 
 + 
 +The Call Finder is used as a way to find and view existing and historic Calls. If the Call is currently assigned to you, you can see it in your Call List and therefore won’t need to use the Call Finder to see it. The ‘History’ button at the top of a Call will also load the Call Finder. 
 + 
 +Call Finder uses live data from the server and therefore you must be Online to use it. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_call_finder_search.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +You can search either by Site or Equipment by clicking on the grey search button for the record type you wish to search for, or alternately you could put in a Call Number, date ranges etc. 
 + 
 +The Search screens will allow you to type in the search bar to filter by any part of the record shown. Click the tick to the left of the record you wish to return to the main page. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_site_finder.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Click Find Call when you wish to return your results. From here you can click on the Call Number of the Call you wish to view, and it’ll open up in the Call screen. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_search_criteria.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Add Call ==== 
 + 
 +Call2Field Mobile gives you the ability to create a Call whilst in Online Mode. To do this, go onto the Add Call screen. 
 + 
 +Choose the Site you wish to add – you can click the grey Site button to open the Site search screen. You could also do this on the Serial button to search by Equipment if you wish. 
 + 
 +Once you‘ve loaded the Site, fill in the Equipment, Call Type, Problem, Notes and any other field that you wish to fill in and click Save Call to save this Call into the system. You can also click Clear Call if you wish to start again. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_call_add.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +By default this will choose and assign the Call to you, but you can change this on the Engineer field if necessary. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Time Entry ==== 
 + 
 +The Time Entry screen allows you to start and stop a timer, optionally adding Mileage and Notes as well. This can then be used to log total working time for the day outside of individual jobs. 
 + 
 +Only one timer can run at once, therefore it needs to be stopped before it can be started again. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_time_entry.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +It will also show the latest 5 entries at the top of the screen whilst you are Online. 
 +Like Calls, Time Entry records can be used Offline and are stored in the Offline Data section to be uploaded at a later time. 
 + 
 +{{ :add_call_from_site.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Unlike Calls, there isn’t a Modify option for Time Entry – just Upload or Delete. 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +==== Your Location ==== 
 + 
 +The Location screen on Call2Field Mobile will show you the co-ordinates of where you currently are, providing you have enough of a signal for it to pinpoint you. 
 + 
 +{{ :mobile_location_info.png?400 |}}
  
 +You can click to view your location on Google Maps in a new tab.
  
 +There is no real need to view this page, it is purely for information in the background and has no impact on your Calls.
