How do I use the Dispatch Board?

How do I correct (revise) a Field Service Report?

A Service Coordinator or Manager can revise a completed engineer's report from the service request's FSR area. Open Revise Field Service Report, enter why it's being revised, and save — this creates a new version, keeping the original for the record.
