COG-TASKING

This page will be all about ticket processing.

 

We will go through how to log on and log off a ticket using different event codes.

 

In this guide, we will show you how to log on and off a ticket and how you can complete them from both the main application and mobile application.

 

Before we start, to give you a better understanding of the guide, below are the available ticket statuses in the system:

 

0 - Created

This is the first status of the ticket. All tickets created in and out of the system will start with a Created status.

1 - Planned

When the user populates the Planned Date on the ticket, the system will also move the status of the ticket from Created to Planned.

2 - Issued

When a ticket is allocated to a user for the first time, the status of the ticket will automatically change to Issued.

Note, when the work has started on the ticket, the status cannot go back to Created, Planned, or Issued.

3 - Work-In-Progress (WIP)

When a user logs in to a ticket, the status of the ticket will change to Work-In-Progress. Whilst the ticket is in WIP stage, the user cannot login to another ticket until they log off the WIP ticket.

 

The first WIP event will populate the Started Date / Time of the ticket which will be used to check if the ticket is within the SLA Response Time.

 

To log off a ticket, the user will be given 2 status options: On-Hold or Closed.

4 - On-Hold

This status can be used to log off a Work-In-Progress event. With this status, the ticket will remain open and the user can continue work on another time.

5 - Closed

This is the final status of the ticket. This indicates if the ticket is complete. When the status of the ticket is Closed, the system will populate the Completed Date / Time of the ticket which will be used to check if the ticket is within the SLA Completion Time.

 

 

Each of the ticket status change will generate an event. The event will have a Start & Complete Date/Time to show the progress of the ticket.

 

You can add more On-Hold and Closed events from the Task Advanced Options view.

 

For WIP event, this will include the notes added by the user, the Travel / Booked / and Divert times.

 

For On-Hold & Closed events, this will include the notes and signature of the user.

How to Log On to a ticket and create a Work-In-Progress (WIP) event

 

Click the Log On button from the bottom toolbar. You will get a prompt to say that you have logged on to the selected ticket and the Log On button will turn into the Arrived / Start button:

 

COM_Mobile2 COM_Mobile3

 

When you press the Log On button, this will create a Work-In-Progress (WIP) event in the background and set the Start Date/Time of the event to the current date/time.

 

When you press the Arrived / Start button, this will calculate the travel time starting from the point when the Log On button was pressed.

 

For example, if you press the Log On button on 12/01/2023 at 10:00am and press the Arrived / Start button on 12/01/2023 at 10:30am, this will set the Travel Time of the WIP event to 30 minutes.

 

NOTE: The below is only relevant if the Task Assessment / Health & Safety / Task Element link is configured against the Ticket Task Type or Template.

 

If you want to configure this, click here to see the guide.

 

 

If there is a Health & Safety link against the ticket, this will pop-up after the Travel Time is set.

 

If there is an outstanding Task Assessment link against the ticket, this will pop-up after the Travel Time is set and Health & Safety check (if present).

 

Complete the Task Assessment / Health & Safety survey and press the Save Grid button.

How to Log Off a ticket and close the Work-In-Progress (WIP) event

 

Once you have successfully logged on to a ticket, you can put your device away and carry out the work required for the task.

 

There will be an indicator in the Ticket List to show you which ticket you are currently logged on to. You cannot log on to another ticket whilst you have an outstanding WIP event.

 

NOTE: If there is a Task Element link against the ticket, you must complete the survey first before you can close the ticket.

 

Navigate to the WIP ticket, and you will see the Log Off button from the bottom toolbar.

If you want to correct the information on the event, you can click the Work-In-Progress event (Event No.4 on the screenshot above) and this will load the information back to the form and you can make your adjustments.

 

Note: You can only do this for tickets that were closed within the X days defined in the System Parameter view.
