Customer Call Dashboard (tsclm1509m100)

Use this session to view, maintain, and create call-related data.

Use the following options to view the related orders within the service package and the related orders originating from the packages such as Purchase, Manufacturing and Warehouse:

  • Related To:
    Starts the Graphical Browser Framework that displays the orders which originate from the current order.
  • Related From:
    Starts the Graphical Browser Framework that displays the orders that originate from the specific order.

Graphical Browser Framework allows you to view Multi level relations of the orders. You can view the details using the following options:

  • View Details:
    Use this option to view the details of the related order.
  • Reverse Tree:
    Use this option to start the Graphical Browser Framework in reverse mode starting from the order you select. For example, if you open Graphical Browser Framework in Related To mode, you can use the reverse option to view the orders in the Related From mode.

In a Service organization, while calls are handled by a support analyst, (or a dispatcher dealing with a customer in scheduling service orders) relevant information is presented on the call screen, such as warranty details, any specific service contract number and certain other relevant details such as an applicable Response time, priority. There is also a visibility into the linked orders (such as service orders or maintenance sales orders). There is also a link available to view the configuration trees related to the business partners. This information is available on different tabs/forms. But in any case still some details are missed. Details about the customer credit ratings, information about preventive maintenance plans, information about linked field change order lines if any, and also more details about the related service contracts, are not available in the current call screens. Efforts can be made to incorporate these details into the existing call screen, but the resulting screens would be complicated and cumbersome. Moreover if these additional details are available and accessible from the Call screen, the other roles, like Service order dispatcher, unless provided access to call screens, would miss this out. A feature like Dashboard is intended to overcome most of these drawbacks and still present a generic access session, which is easily usable. In its proposed form it would be primarily a Call list screen, with the service calls as objects, which can be used by any other role.
