You can create service requests on your mobile device and they will automatically show up in the Back Office application.
To create a service request on the mobile device
1. On the Home screen, tap Service Requests, and then on the Service Requests screen, tap Plus (+).
2. On the Customers screen, tap appropriate customer; and then on the SR Types screen, tap appropriate service request type.
Note When you tap different customers, you may see different service request types in the list. It happens because each service request type may have assigned customers, and if so, such type will be hidden when you tap other customers that are not assigned to it.
If a service request type has assigned customers, you will see it on the SR Type screen only if you tap one of these customers.
If a service request type has no assigned customers, you will see it on the SR Type screen anyway, no matter what customer you tap.
3. Enter the appropriate information on the Vehicle screen, the Services screen, the Questions screen, and the Claim screen, and then click Save on the last screen, whichever it is.
Note You may see the screens described below in a different order or you may not see some of the screens at all. For example, you may see the Services screen before the Vehicle screen, and vice versa; you may see the Claim screen and the Questions screen, or not. The order and the visibility of the screens depend on the wizard settings of the service request type that you selected.
The Vehicle screen
On the Vehicle screen, you can enter the following information:
VIN#: You can use a camera with an autofocus system to decode a VIN or you can enter the VIN by using the keyboard. After the VIN is decoded, the make, model, and year fields should be populated automatically.

For example, you may be prompted to answer a “yes/no” or “traffic-light” question, select one answer or multiple answers in the list, take a photo or make a note, and other.
Tip If the question form has multiple question sections with multiple questions, you need to swipe down to see all questions in the form.
