Order List

When you log in, you will see a list of orders. You can filter and sort the orders showing. For example, you may want to only see your orders, your labor/tasks scheduled or all orders.

Tap Filter to get options on filtering your orders such as showing service orders only, or both service and install. Also choose if you want to see all order, only my orders, or closed orders.

For example, tap the filter on the right and choose My Orders to only see orders assigned to you, or select My Tasks to see a list of Labor time scheduled for you.

If you are using the Dispatch calendar in SME to schedule techs, you probably want to see the labor times you are scheduled for in SME mobile. To see a list of labor time scheduled for you, choose My Tasks and Date Due (image below). Choose either Ascending or Descending.

On this tab, you will see the site address, order status, order summary, etc.
Your administrator may have reduced down the fields on this tab to the ones that are used so your Detail tab may not look like what you are seeing on this page or on the demo.
