How to complete the planning phase
The first phase of resolving a ticket on the field is the planning phase.
- The planning phase can consist of gathering information about upcoming appointments.
- You can use our engineer checklist below better to understand the typical planning phase of an engineer.
- When you click on an upcoming appointment, you can browse through ticket-relevant details like the contact data of the end user,
ticket descriptions, necessary parts for the repair, and attached files to the ticket. - In the planning phase, you can decide to directly contact the end user via phone by clicking for example the Call button or confirm that the drive has started towards the end user’s direction by clicking the Drive button.
- You can also announce upcoming delays by clicking the Report Delays button.
