Online archive

Fieldcode FMA app

New modes to configure dispatch groups

Admin panel

We plan to introduce the possibility to create global groups and also introduce a  new mode where dispatch groups can be configured not only by map area but based on location field conditions. This makes configuring dispatch groups even more flexible, than it is already.

We plan to introduce two new area definition modes, either "map-based" or "ZIP/State/City/Country-based"
The main advantage of this exciting feature is that you gain the flexibility to choose how you want to add a location for your dispatch group

We plan to display more detailed information on appointment actions.
Not only the last user who made changes on the appointment will be enclosed, but the type of actions as well.
This feature comes along with keeping a more fine grained history.

Having this kind of information at your fingertips can help you better understand many different ticket changes
