Release Notes - April 2019

Clickable invoice number for the Task Used alert: The Task Used alert now includes a clickable invoice number that you can use to access the invoice.

To learn more about alerts, see Use Alerts.

More intuitive search experience: Based on your feedback, adding a new customer or location record while searching on the call booking screen is now easier and less likely to lead to adding the wrong type of record.

Instead of a general + New button that doesn’t tell you what kind of record you are adding, you see + New Customer.

After clicking a customer or location in search results, you see + New Location, indicating that you are adding a new location to the existing customer.

Additionally, as you search for an existing customer or location, you will see that the search results are loading. Before, you would see a message indicating that no results were found until the results were loaded.

To learn more, see Add a new customer.

Status of a transferred call updates automatically: If another customer service representative takes ownership of a call bubble, you won’t be able to close the call bubble anymore. Instead, you will be notified that another CSR owns the call and you should move on to your next call.

To learn more, see Transfer calls and switch between calls.

More legible text for active calls: Based on your feedback, we have made the text for active call bubbles much easier to read. The active call bubble is now a darker green and the font is bigger.

To learn more, see Answer incoming calls.

Complete job when another tech is on a meal break: Technicians can now complete a job that includes one or more technicians even if another technician who is also on the job is on a meal break.

Right-click to access job menu: You can now more easily manage the jobs for the day right from the dispatch board. Right-click on any job on the dispatch board to access the job menu.

This menu includes the most common actions taken by dispatchers that used to force them to leave the dispatch board, so it should save a total of 3-4 million clicks per month across all ServiceTitan users.

Use it to quickly dispatch a technician to the job or reschedule the job. You can also access the job screen, invoice, location, customer, and map for that job.

To learn more about the dispatch board, see our knowledge base.

Done for now gray bubble remains after technician is reassigned: The work already done on a job marked Done for Now will continue to show up on the dispatch board as a gray bubble. Previously, the gray bubble would be moved to the new technician after reassignment. Now, the gray bubble permanently stays on the row of the technician who marked the job as Done for Now.

Open a technician's route in Google Maps: Click View Technician Route from the technician icon menu to see the full map of the route for that technician’s day in Google Maps.

The map helps you to plan other visits in context of the technician’s route for the day.

The route begins from the technician’s home address if it is validated, or from the first location on the route if the home address is not validated.

The location of stops on the route is determined using a verified address if available and the user-entered address if not. Unverified or incorrectly-entered addresses may lead to inaccurate results on the map.

To learn more, see View Technicians in Use the Dispatch Board.

At-a-glance status for non-job events: You can now view how long in-progress non-job events are supposed to take, how long a technician has been clocked into a given non-job event, and whether a technician has been at a non-job event longer than planned or not from the dispatch board.
