Field Pro comes in two levels: - **Field Pro Standard**: Gives technicians Atlas in Field Pro on mobile, an AI assistant with equipment manuals and specs, guided troubleshooting, and built-in calculators such as superheat/subcool, pressure set points, and duct sizing. - **Field Pro Advanced**: Includes everything in Standard, plus pre-job briefs, automatic job recordings, custom scorecards, performance insights, and Ask Atlas. --- ### #### Who uses this feature - Administrators - Primarily benefits Residential Service and Replacement business types - Applies to all trades #### Feature configuration - To get started with Field Pro, request a demo on our [Pro Products page](https://www.servicetitan.com/features/pro), or reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Pro Account Manager (PAM). ## Things to know - A Technician Profile must already exist in ServiceTitan before you start. To create one, go to **Settings > People > Technicians** and add the technician. For more, see [Add and manage technician profiles](/v1/docs/add-and-manage-technician-profiles). - Use the same email address the technician uses to log in to ServiceTitan. Using a different email breaks the connection between their Field Pro profile and their jobs. ## Use cases - A new technician just joined the team and needs Field Pro access before their first ride-along. - A current technician is being added to Field Pro for the first time. ## Step 1: Enable Field Pro permissions for the technician role It is recommended to assign permissions to a technician role rather than to each technician individually. That way, any technician assigned to the role automatically gets the right permissions, and you don't repeat this step every time. - If every technician at your company uses Field Pro Advanced, add the Field Pro permissions to all of your existing technician roles. - If only a couple of technicians use Field Pro Advanced, create a dedicated role, for example, *Field Pro Technician*, and add the permissions there. Then assign that role to the right technicians. To assign Field Pro permissions to a role: 1. Go to the top toolbar and click **Settings** ![A simple icon representing a settings gear. ](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-gnav-settings-inactive.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A50%3A37Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A50%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=600d2pGaDfzVy9tc9CHWIHs3uoqsfrauiqzdoJKKMP4%3D) . 2. In the side panel, go to **People > Role Permissions**. 3. On the *Roles* screen that opens, click **Edit** next to the technician role you want to update. 4. In the *Field Pro* section, select the following permissions: - **View Field Pro**: Enables Field Pro functionality for the technician, giving them access to the Field Pro app and its features. - **Enable job briefs**: Allows the technician to receive pre-job briefs automatically after they're dispatched to a job. > [!TIP] > **Tip:** For technicians to use Atlas in Field Pro, ensure **Enable Atlas in Mobile for Technician** is also selected on the role. This permission is enabled by default for managed technicians. ![Settings for enabling Atlas in Mobile and viewing job briefs in Field Pro.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/enable-a-new-technician-in-field-pro-image-w9b3pu72.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A50%3A37Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A50%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=600d2pGaDfzVy9tc9CHWIHs3uoqsfrauiqzdoJKKMP4%3D) 5.
