Where is my field service tech? Set up/modify GPS tracking

Inside your Field Service Management app, there are two different ways for the office to know where the technicians are located. In both scenarios, the technician is a Login user with the Field Service Management mobile app installed on a supported smart phone or tablet device. This article shows what the service manager and dispatcher can see location of the field service techs.

1. (most common) Action based GPS location of field tech.
   1. When a tech makes changes to a Work Order, their location is displayed on both the Dispatch Board as well as the map tab of our Smart Scheduling Screen.
   2. This shows you where your techs were when Actions occur on a Work Order (pick up, en-route, start, complete, pause, on hold).
   3. The GPS dots should be on top of the customer address on the map. If not, the tech was somewhere other than the customer site when the action was documented.
2. Time based GPS tracking
   • The FSM mobile app tracks techs throughout the day based on an interval you define.
