00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:05.300
Right today. I'm going to show you as a technician.

1
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:07.500
how to start a service call

2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.000
as well as complete a service call.

3
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.400
So when you log in as a technician the first thing you'll see is

4
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.100
 your own calendar.

5
00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:18.400
Each calendar and Workhorse is user-specific. So as

6
00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.500
 a technician, this is essentially your dashboard.

7
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:24.700
So for today, we can see that we have a service call schedule.

8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.600
We can select it and we can see the name of the customer as

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.000
 well as the site that we're going to be going to.

10
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:33.800
The date as well as the time frame.

11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.500
And the technician which will be you it will be listed here and any

12
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:41.100
 additional technicians you might be working with that day will also be

13
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:44.000
 listed for this one. We only have one technician listed.

14
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.500
And here we have the reason for that service call so we can see the customer

15
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:49.500
 needs to do door contact.

16
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.700
So right from our calendar we can just select go to service call.

17
00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:57.400
And we'll bring us right to that service call screen and we

18
00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:58.200
 can get started right away.

19
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.600
So as a technician we can see the customer name as

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.100
 well as a site address and the particular system.

21
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.300
We can see the reason for the service call which we can always

22
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:09.900
 update here.

23
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:13.600
As well as any additional notes you'd like to put on this invoice.

24
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:17.000
These will display for both the customer you and the

25
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:17.900
 admins to see.

26
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:21.100
So just be wary of that these will populate on the

27
00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:21.600
 invoice.

28
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.500
Here we can see any products that are tied to the service call. So

29
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.500
 if you need to adjust anything or add anything you can

30
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:30.000
 do that here.

31
00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:32.800
Via this pencil to edit the current product.

32
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:34.700
Or add another product here.

33
00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:40.600
We can see our installation schedule. So this is where we as technicians are

34
00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:43.000
 going to select on Route when we leave to go to the

35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:43.300
 site.

36
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:47.400
We're going to select arrived when we actually arrive there to start

37
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:48.200
 that billable time.

38
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.500
And then once we're finished with the service call we can set complete and that

39
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:53.700
 will stop that billable time.

40
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.300
So here we can see the charges sign for the service call.

41
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:02.300
And then if you as a technician need to add any additional notes

42
00:02:02.300 --> 00:02:04.700
 to the service call that you don't want the customer to see.

43
00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:08.300
You can select add note here. And these are internal notes only

44
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:11.500
 customer will have no way to view them. So that is there

45
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:14.500
 for you as a technician as well as any admins that

46
00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.500
 need to check out the service call. Those internal notes

47
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:18.900
 will be listed here under notes.

48
00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:23.300
So as the technician once you've verify everything looks correct

49
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:24.900
 here and you want to start the job.

50
00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:28.200
You can come down here to the installation schedule.

51
00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:30.600
And select on route.

52
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.600
And what that will do is that will notify the customer if notify the

53
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:35.200
 customer is selected.

54
00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:39.700
That their technician you from the company whichever company

55
00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:41.300
 you work for is on their way.

56
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.400
So if we select in

57
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:47.100
Here we can. See we'll update the status of the service call.

58
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:52.800
So if we scroll up we can see it updated to en route.

59
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.600
And this will not start the billable time. Once you arrive

60
00:02:56.600 --> 00:02:59.300
 on site and you need to start charging this customer for

61
00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:02.400
 that hourly fee. That's when you select arrived here.

62
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.600
 So once we click arrived.

63
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:08.200
We can see that it changed the status.

64
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.800
I'm going to reload the page.

65
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.600
We can see that we started this service call.

66
00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:19.500
So as soon as we hit arrived the billable time will

67
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:19.700
 start.

68
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.000
We can see arrive Click by Stephen Hayes.

69
00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:26.700
June 20th 2022 at 11:40 am

70
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.500
So once you're doing the service call and you complete the service call and

71
00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:34.300
 you're ready to sign off and charge the customer.

72
00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:38.200
We want to go over here and select complete and what

73
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:40.600
 that will do is that will stop that bill time.

74
00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:46.100
So if we scroll down here.

75
00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:50.300
We can see at the very bottom here that we clicked on

76
00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:51.800
 root at 11:40.

77
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.600
Arrived 11:40 and complete at

78
00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:56.100
 11:41.

79
00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:00.400
So if you ever forget to hit arrived or complete these

80
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.000
 can always be adjusted after the fact.

81
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.300
So if we click on each one of these say that

82
00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:08.300
 we completed it at 2 pm. We can always

83
00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:11.400
 come up here. Click this and select today.

84
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:14.000
at 2

85
00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:16.200
pm.

86
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.100
We can submit and what that will

87
00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:26.600
 do is that will actually adjust that available time or that

88
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.400
 hourly fee.

89
00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:29.800
And we'll show that on the invoice.

90
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:35.300
So now if we're ready to sign off when we were ready for the customer to

91
00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:36.200
 pay for the service call.

92
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.300
What we want to do is we want to come up here to the top where it

93
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:41.000
 says sign off.

94
00:04:42.300 --> 00:04:43.300
And once we select sign off.

95
00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:47.100
We'll show a copy of the invoice for you to show the

96
00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:47.600
 customer.

97
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:51.600
So here we have the door contacts as well as the travel fee

98
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:52.100
 that we have listed.

99
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.400
As well as a labor fee so we can see that

100
00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:58.300
 us adjusting that time adjusted it to

101
00:04:58.300 --> 00:04:59.000
 two and a half hours here.

102
00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:04.200
the subtotal any discounts applied to this which we don't

103
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:04.700
 have any

104
00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:08.100
Texas and the total and down here we

105
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:10.600
 can see that reason for the service call is listed here as well.

106
00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:14.800
So if we're on site and we need the customer to pay.

107
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.400
We have to do is technicians is come up here. It's like

108
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:20.000
 sign and pay.

109
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.500
And here you can see we have a couple different options to

110
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:25.000
 pay for this.

111
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:29.100
We can select cash. So if they want to pay in cash on site you can

112
00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:29.900
 select cash here.

113
00:05:30.700 --> 00:05:32.400
If they have a check, you can select check.

114
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.400
If they already have a payment method on file an ACH or

115
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:36.700
 a credit card.

116
00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:40.500
We can also use those so we can automatically charge

117
00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:41.200
 the customer that.

118
00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:45.200
Or if they request to have the invoice sent to them after the fact

119
00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:48.400
 they don't want to pay on site right away. We can select invoices as

120
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:48.500
 well.

121
00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:52.100
If they want to use a new payment method a new

122
00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:55.300
 credit card or ACH that may not be on file. We can always come

123
00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:56.700
 up here to new payment method.

124
00:05:57.700 --> 00:06:00.300
And we can enter in that ACH or credit card information here.

125
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:04.700
But for this case, I'm going to select invoice.

126
00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:07.600
Once that's selected.

127
00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.800
We can have the customer sign here.

128
00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:12.400
Once we select finish.

129
00:06:14.700 --> 00:06:16.500
It will then complete that service call.

130
00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.300
And it will generate.

131
00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:22.600
An invoice for the admin or accounting whoever needs

132
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.900
 to send the invoice over to send over to the customer.
