Subject: Service Due Notification
Date: June 1, 2002

 

Question: Does ExpressMaintenance notify you when services are due or request arrive?

 

Answer: ExpressMaintenance offers a flashing message to notify users when maintenance items are due or new requests arrive.  In the main status bar located at the bottom of the screen is a box that reads "Services" and one that reads "Requests".  These boxes flash when services are due or new requests arrive.  ExpressMaintenance automatically performs a query to determine if any services are due and notifies the user by causing the "Services" box to flash.  It does the same for Requests.

 

These services can be activated on a user login basis under Administration / User Accounts.  You can designate what users will see the Services notification and what users will not.

 

In addition, you can define the number of days out that ExpressMaintenance should search.  This is setup under Administration / Defaults / Work Order Defaults / General Settings / Notification Checking Frequency (see screen shot below).

 

You can also turn the entire feature off under Administration / Defaults / Work Order Defaults / General Settings / Notification Checking Frequency (see screen shot below).

 

See the application help file topic Administration / User Accounts for more details.
