Enable Mobile Auditing

Use Woodford's Mobile Audit feature to update the Technician Vehicle table (SV00113). The location information updates automatically based on time/distance plus you can choose to have the location updated when the technician updates appointments, creates a labor transaction, and/or times in/out of appointments.

The location data is updated when the device is synchronized to the host. We recommend that you use event-based synchronization so that the technician location coordinates are sent when completing (and syncing) their appointments. This will also enable other applications such as Schedule to view the most up-to-date information about the technician's location. For more information about synchronizing, see Setting up host syncing.

1. In MobileTech Administration, go to Tools > Launch Woodford.
2. Open the active Mobile Project.
3. Navigate to the Auditing tab on the left panel.
4. Under Auditing Settings:

   1. Mark the Enable Auditing check box. 

   2. Mark the Include GPS position check box.

   3. Mark the Track GPS position changes checkbox.

      We recommend that you use the default values for Delay (600 seconds) and Distance (500 meters) as reducing these values may affect the device battery performance.

5. The settings above are enough to track the technician's location in the Technician Vehicle table (SV00113), but if you also want to track entity-specific changes (Create and/or Update), you can mark the following options under Enable auditing for the following entities and operations:
   1. Appointment: If you want to know where the technician was when recording his/her appointment data.
   2. Time Entry: If you want to know where the technician was when recording labor transactions.
   3. Time Log: If you want to know where the technician is timing in or timing out of appointments.
6. Choose Save.
7. Publish the project.
