Page 10: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Inventory Console

Inventory – Facility technicians will use inventory items constantly in their day to day processes. This will involve issuing items for work orders, checking storerooms for availability, and submitting purchase requests to replenish inventory. The Inventory Console can help you do all of these things.

• Inventory Cart Search – This feature is and add-on and is dependent upon your facility’s inventory checkout process. An example ; Say your storeroom clerk needs to approve all outgoing items from the storeroom. The Technician would gather items, and log them on their Handheld/Mobile Device, to get a Cart Number. When a Technician is ready to checkout, they would bring the parts to the storeroom clerk with the assigned Cart Number. The Inventory Clerk would then verify the Employee, the Items associated to the Cart Number, the Work Order number, and proceed to check them out.

• Storerooms – Locations where you house your Inventory.

• Inventory Items – This tab is used to view what items a facility has in inventory.

Page 11: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Page 21: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Work Management Tab

Action Log Dispatch Rules - Action Log Dispatch Rules are the filters for Action Logs. They tell your system under which action log to list each work order. For Example; if you select a Request ID of “Plumbing” then all new work orders with a matching Request ID of “Plumbing” will be dispatched to the specified log.

Action Logs - Action Logs are another way of viewing work orders. They allow your Sprocket system to filter and automatically dispatch incoming work orders based on specified criteria. An Example of Action Log use: If you always assign work orders with location “X” to employee “Y” then you may create an action log for employee “Y” that lists all work orders for location “X”. By using the proper Action Log Dispatch rules, you can have a system automatically dispatch work orders to the assigned log.

Contact info Types - Contact Info Type Defaults are simply different categories of contact information such as a cell phone, a fax, or an email address. Each new contact record must have a Contact Info Type.

Crafts - Crafts are sub-categories of the divisions of an organization. To create a craft, go to Administration> Work Management> Crafts> click on the "New Craft" button and fill out the desired information. Once a craft has been created, a user may edit that craft by clicking on the craft name and making any necessary adjustments, then saving. A craft may be deleted by clicking the "Delete" found on the same row as the craft to be deleted

Page 22: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Work Management Tab

Customers - Customers can be defined as a client or someone who requests services from you and your company.

Fault Code Manager - Fault codes are simply a way of classifying what went wrong. A technician would generally observe a problem and then tree down through available fault codes to mark that problem upon closing a work order. Most software that uses fault codes use a tiered system, so the Problem limits the number of Causes you can choose, and the Cause limits the number of Remedies you can use. Ours is an open tree structure that isn't so restricted, and it's even possible to create other Types (standard, are problem, cause, remedy).

Fault Code Types - These are the Types of Fault Codes for example: Problem, Resolution, Cause, etc.

Locations - Locations are part of the fundamental structuring of your Sprocket system. Each work order you receive will be assigned to a location. The structure of your location tree is entirely customizable and can be one or two levels or it can have many levels to accommodate an intricate system of locations.

Page 23: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Work Management Tab

People – A person record is any type of user that will be utilizing the Sprocket System.

Priorities - Used to apply an importance/urgency of submitted or generated work requests.

Request Types - Request Types distinguish the type of Work the user wants to begin the process for. Each Request Type will have its own set of Request Codes to choose from and allow the user to auto generate the related fields for the New Work Order. In the Work Order process, selecting the Request Type is the first step for the user to create an Order/Request they need to get the job done.

Page 24: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Work Management Tab

Requests - A Request is a specific subcategory of a Request Type that allows you to further define who the work will be assigned to. Example: You may have a Request Type of "Corrective Maintenance" and then a Request of "Plumbing Repair.“

Shifts - Shifts are assigned to employees based on typical hours worked. This allows the manager of the system to track overages of hours as well as outliers in time postings. Once a shift is assigned to an employee, the system is then able to suggest which employees are most likely to be available to complete a given work order based on the desired completion date.

Shops - Shops are used to help classify, dispatch, track accounting and cost on any type of work order in the system.

Page 25: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Work Management Tab

Vendors - A vendor may be assigned to an employee if that employee works for a contractor in order to show a relationship between any work done and the vendor. Vendors are also used for purchasing inventory through the Inventory Module.

Work Types -Work Types are another way for you to categorize work. Common Work Types are: ‘Corrective,’ ‘Routine,’ ‘Event,’ etc.

Request Screen Manager - The Request Screen Manager allows a system administrator to set which fields users are able to utilize and view, as well as which fields are required for the New Work Order Screen, the Details Screen, and the Mobile Details Screen. The system administrator may also order and rearrange the fields that are shown. *Note: the Request Screen Manager will be covered extensively throughout your Sprocket Training.

Work Status Manager - This is where you manage all your different Work Order States, Status Types and their Descriptions. It allows you to create a custom work flow within a Work Status Type. *Note: the Work Status Manager will be covered later in your future Sprocket Training Sessions.

Page 26: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Administration Console – Security Tab

Security

Group Management – Allows you to manage which Users are in what Groups.

Groups - Security Groups are a way for you to manage the access levels of the different groups of users within your Sprocket system. By placing each user in a specific group (or groups) you can then control the screens the user has access to, as well as which ones will be view only, and which ones the user may make modifications to.

Master Security - After a user or group has been created, this is where you will set the security permissions for those users/groups to allow or deny access to any object in the system.

*Note: Security will be set up according to your company’s needs prior to launching your Sprocket System as per discussions held. Any additional changes to Master Security should be handled with great discretion.

Page 27: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Page 30: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Sprocket Screens - GridsGrids display a list of records in a column and row views. Each Grid is defined by a Saved Search. This provides different views column, rows and search options based on the saved search selected. Saved searches also provide a way to filter records displayed. IE: My Equipment, My Work Orders. Closed Work Orders

Columns – Each Saved search can have its own columns displayed included custom columns. Once a default list of columns are added to a saved search you can show or hide the columns by using Group Security.

Page 31: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Sprocket Screens – Search Fields

Search fields – Each Saved search can have its own list of available searchable fields. Once a default list of searchable fields is added to the saved search you can show or hide the searchable fields using Group Security.

Page 32: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Sprocket Screens - Forms

Sprocket Forms are used to view the details of records. There are two types of forms within Sprocket, Static Forms and Customizable Forms. Static Forms are hard coded and cannot be modified; like the Time and materials forms. Custom Forms provide the ability to customized the fields displayed including custom fields.

Tabs – Some forms have tabs. Each Tab provides organization to the data displayed that related to the form

Page 33: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Sprocket Screens – Dispatch Actions

On pages with grids, there is a Dispatch Actions menu at the top right corner of the page. Dispatch Actions are used to quickly process work orders to complete work cycles. You will see these actions on Saved Searches, Work Order Details, and Dispatching Results. To view the Dispatch Actions menu, hover your cursor over the Dispatch Actions button. Once selected, open the Dispatch Action menu and select the appropriate Dispatch Action to apply to the work order(s). So, if you wanted to assign an employee to a work order, you would select the desired work order and select the Assign Employee Dispatch Action and fill in the appropriate fields.

Page 34: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Work Management Features

SECTION THREEWork Management Features

Overview In this section we will discuss commonly used features in the Work Management Console that design your everyday work flow.

Request TypesRequests (Request Codes)Differences Between Request “Type” and Request “Code”Work Order Requirements and DetailsWork Order RoutingWork Order Status Progression

Page 35: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Types of Work Orders – Request Types

Sprocket provides different types of work orders. Each type of work order can have a unique status progression like Assigned, In Progress, or Waiting for parts. Custom Request Types should be used when the work order status transition varies from the default Request Types within Sprocket.

Work Orders Request Types

Services Requests Work Orders Preventive Maintenance

Page 36: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Type of Work Orders – Requests (Request Codes)

Each Request is assigned to a respective Request Type. An example would be having a Request for a “AHU Monthly PM Procedures” would be assigned to the Request type of Preventive Maintenance. By doing this the system will only show Requests based on the Request Type defined. Requests can also define how a work order is dispatched. This is covered more under Work Order Routing Options.

Requests are predefined work activities. They provide a way to keep track of common or repetitive types of work performed by your facility like when a light bulb goes out, or fixing clogged toilet. Requests are also used document procedures for Preventive Maintenance tasks like a monthly PM procedures for an air handler unit.

Service Requests

Clogged Toilet Light Out Move Office

Page 37: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Request Codes - There is sometimes confusion about the differences between a Request Type and a Request Code, Request Types allow you to categorize the different types of work you do. Examples of Request Types are: Corrective Maintenance, Projects, Preventive Maintenance, and Events. A Request Code is a specific subcategory of a Request Type that allows you to further define who the work will be assigned to. Example: You may have a Request Type of "Corrective Maintenance" and then a Request Code of "Plumbing Repair." See the figure below for visual clarification.

Difference Between Request “Type” and Request “Code”

Page 38: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Work Order Requirements and Details

Sprocket provides the ability to customize the fields displayed on a work order form. This can be unique based on the following screens.

New Work Order

Work Order Details

Mobile New work Order

Mobile Work Order Details.

Each Work Order can also have unique fields based on the Request Type or Request. This may be valuable when different information is needed based on the type of work order. Each field that is displayed has the following properties

Required – Each field on the new work order screen and be set as required. When a field is required then it will be displayed with a red boarder around it and will not allow a user’s to submit a work order without providing a valid entry.

Read Only - Read only fields will be viewable to the users but the field value cannot be changed. This is useful when using the auto populate feature.

Custom Auto Population – Auto populate a field value based on another related field value. Example: Auto populates the Location based on the selection of an equipment record.

Page 39: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Work Order RoutingAutomatic Routing - Sprocket provides many ways to define how work orders are routed. The routing of work orders is primarily defined based on the “Request” being used on the work order.

Request - when a request is used on a work order the default information on the request is populated to the work order respective fields. The Sprocket system also checks the request dispatch options to define how the work order should be dispatched.

• Disabled - Pulls Employee From Request Code or leaves the Employee field blank

• Follow Last Assignment - Uses the employee that was assigned to the most recent Work Order with the same Request Code

• Avoid Last Assignment - Uses the same criteria as the Standard heuristic, but deducts 256 points for the Employee that was most recently assigned to a Work Order with the same Request Code

• Standard - Matching criteria are given a point value. The employee with the highest points will be automatically assigned to the Work Order

• Action Log - Action Log dispatching simply pulls the Employee from Action Log. If the Employee is not specified, the heuristic will fall back to the Standard heuristic

Action Log Rules – Action Log Rules provide the ability to automatically assign an Action Log and Employee based on what information is on the work order.

Action Logs are another way of viewing work orders. They allow your Sprocket system to filter and automatically dispatch incoming work orders based on specified criteria. An Example of Action Log use: If you always assign work orders with location “X” to employee “Y” then you may create an action log for employee “Y” that lists all work orders for location “X

Example: You may create an Action Log Rule that would dispatch work orders that have a specific location, Request Type, Customer to route to a specific employee and action log. You can also use action logs rules to route work based on work shifts.

Page 40: SESSION ONE SPROCKET OVERVIEW. SECTION ONE Sprocket Overview In this Session we will review how Sprocket can be customized to your operational requirements

Work Order Routing – Status Progression

Custom statuses can be defined for each Request Type. When defining custom statuses you must also assign an associated State. States are predefined stages of a work order life cycle and carry specific functionality for each state. Below are a list of Work order States within Sprocket

• Scheduled - Considered the “Open” State in Sprocket. The work order is currently scheduled for work to start or is currently in progress

• Waiting for Supervisor Assignment – if the Request on the work order is flagged to require supervisor assignment then the work order will route to the default status assigned to this State. Only the assigned supervisor or a specified Assistant Supervisor can assign the employee.

• Waiting for Supervisor Approval - if the Request on the work order is flagged to require supervisor approval, then the work order will route to the default status assigned to this State. Only the assigned Supervisor or a specified Assistant Supervisor can approve the Work Order.

• Waiting For Approval- Forces the work request to require only someone who is in the “Work Order Approval” group to approve or deny the work request.

• Closed – Closed State is used to Identify when a work order is completed and no additional work is needed. You can have multiple statuses in the Closed State. Each status could be used as work complete codes.

• Cancelled – Cancelled state is used to flag a work order that was not completed. Typically used for testing, duplicates or for any work order that was not needed and should be discarded from your work order count.
