NEW Feature: Out of Office – Between vacation, sick days, and personal time, there are a number of reasons why a member of your team might be unavailable on a given day. With our new Out of Office feature, you can now ensure that no work orders will be overlooked just because you’re down a team member.
To mark an employee as Out of Office:
- Navigate to their Employee Profile under Admin → Employees
- Select “Configure Out of Office” at bottom of page
- Enter dates employee will be out of office, and select a backup to cover their assignments
- Save Out of Office configuration
When an employee is out of office, all work order assignments and notifications will automatically be re-routed to the employee selected as their backup. This includes auto-assigned work orders, scheduled work orders, recurring work orders, work order notifications and performance management escalations. Out of office settings do not affect inspections, preventive maintenance tasks, non-work order system notifications, or any existing assignments the employee has. In addition to re-routing tasks, we’ll also clearly display employees’ out of office status in all assignment menus. Work orders assigned directly to out of office users will not be re-routed. If the backup routing cannot be completed for any reason, work orders will default to being unassigned.
Feature Enhancement: Unsaved Data Checking – Have you entered a bunch of information only to accidentally navigate away from the page before saving? If that sounds familiar, this new feature is for you. Following this release, Building Engines will now warn you if you have unsaved changes on any page before navigating away. Now you’ll never go through the frustration of losing your work again.
Feature Enhancement: Quick Delete for Type-Ahead Filters – Building Engines’ New Look contains a number of areas where you can type ahead to filter search results. In this release, we’ve added a convenient “quick delete” X in all type ahead filters so you can quickly and easily clear your filter and view all results
