Service tasks that need to be scheduled repeatedly, such as routine maintenance jobs are tedious and time-consuming. It also leaves room for errors.
The Recurring Service Tasks app helps you to set up such service tasks at a custom-defined frequency. You can assign these tasks to a field technician or a service group and make edits to individual appointments.
With Recurring service tasks, you can:
● Easily schedule a series of recurring service tasks such as inspections, maintenance, audits, etc.
● Eliminate redundant activity of replicating details
● Stop worrying about forgetting to create subsequent tasks
Use-cases:
Many services, such as lawn care, facilities management, cleaning, maid services, annual maintenance contracts have jobs lined up at regular intervals - say weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually or a custom set frequency.
Through this app, you can easily schedule such recurring service tasks in Freshdesk Field Service Management (FSM).
Limitations:
1. Agent Timezone in the Freshdesk instance and app settings page timezones should be the same.
How to create a recurring service task:
1. Click on Recurring Service tasks from the top panel on the ticket details page.
2. Click on ‘Create a recurring service task’. This opens up the service task form where the necessary fields can be filled either by a support agent or a field technician. The fields include contact details, service details, appointment info as well as recurrence parameters. Some of the default fields such as contact details, description are auto populated.
3. Once the necessary fields are filled, click ‘Create’ to complete adding a service task.
