About Publish / Unpublish
When tickets have an appointment on the Timeline they are usually ready to be forwarded to the Fieldcode FMA app of the engineer(s). This process is called publishing. Tickets normally need to be published, when the color of a ticket is orange (ready to dispatch, refer to Ticket colors). When the ticket is waiting for an appointment, it should not be published yet.
- Inside the Work place go to Timeline and search for the Speaker button.
- Click on the arrow to reveal the menu for Publishing and Unpublishing.
