CreateNewCallForAnyCustomer

Determines whether technicians can create a service call for any customer in the system. The default value is False. The following settings for global filtering and creating a call for any customer determine permissions for technicians. For more information about global filtering, see "Using global filters" in the Service Management manual. 

Note
  • We recommend leaving CreateNewCallForAnyCustomer set to False. With MobileTech 7.0, we now synchronize all location contacts for any locations on the device. If this setting is set to True, all location contacts will be syncing for all locations and may result in a large amount of data. Additionally, the introduction of the SERVER MODE allows users to see all permissible customers and locations in the middle-tier while improving overall sync times significantly. (SERVER MODE is set at UseServerMode in Mobile Device Global Settings.


Note

Global filtering is set up in Service Management. Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Service Management > Module Setup > Service Options. In the Service Options window, mark Use Global Record Identification Filters.

  • Global filtering is marked and CreateNewCallForAnyCustomer = True -Technicians can create calls for any customers and locations in their assigned branches (home and away), and for any exception-branch customers and locations that are assigned to calls and appointments.
