Mobile Device Global Settings

Setting	Description
AutoStatusUpdate	The default status for appointments that are received by the device. The default value is blank, which means no status is assigned to the appointments. If a status is selected for both this setting and JobSafetyStartStatus in Job Safety Tasks, we recommend that you do not use the same status for both. AutoStatusUpdate and TimeLogStatusUpdate in Time Log Settings cannot have the same value.
DefaultWeekday	The default week-ending day for time entries, which is based on the TimeTrack settings in the Microsoft Dynamics GP database. This value cannot be changed.
UseAdditionalWork	Determines whether technicians can enter additional work on a service call. The default value is True. If False, technicians cannot enter new additional work in the Additional Work pane.
UseBarcoding	Determines whether the organization uses barcoding functionality in MobileTech. If True, barcoding is used. If False, barcoding is not used. The default value is False.

If False, users will only access customer data on their devices, not from the Middle Tier. The default value is True. See Set the Fetch Limit (optional) for information on setting the number of Customer Location (customers and locations) or Equipment records that the SERVER MODE fetches at a time in the New Service Call window in the MobileTech Client.

DefaultNewNotesAsInternal	Determines whether the default setting for new notes that are created by technicians is Internal, which means the notes are not displayed on the Call Summary report. The default value is False. Technicians can change this setting per note when they create notes.
UseAppointmentNotesSummary	Determines whether note links are displayed at the bottom of the Appointment pane when technicians view the details for a service call appointment. If True, the links are displayed, so technicians can easily view the notes from one location. The default value is False.
UseEventBasedSync	Determines whether event-based syncing is used on all devices. The default value is True. If Sync Login is marked on the Setup page on the device, the Sync page will be displayed and the user must select Sync. For more information, see Event-based Syncing in the MobileTech Help. To use event-based syncing after adding a PO line, you will also need to update UsePOEventBasedSync to True in Purchase Order Settings. Users will be prompted to sync their device after a: A service call is created. An appointment is created or completed A timesheet report is requested A piece of equipment is created. A payment has been applied to a field invoice. A purchase order is created.
UseMobileAuditBackgroundSync	Used to control the ability to auto-upload mobileaudit records to the host. This is used with Woodford's Auditing feature to track technician GPS coordinates based on creating or updating specific entities such as Appointment, TimeLog, or TimeEntry. The default value is False. See Enable Mobile Auditing (optional) for setting up Woodford's Auditing feature.
OnSiteStatusUpdate	Used when UseMobileAuditBackgroundSync=True to determine what status will be used to automatically send the technician's GPS coordinates to the host. No synchronization is required, but an internet connection must be available. See Enable Mobile Auditing (optional) for more information.
AllowPreviousWeekEntries	Allows technicians to create and update time entries (labor, expense, travel) for the previous work week. The default value is True. The work week is determined by the Week Ending Date that you have set up in Signature. True: Technicians are able to create and edit time entries for the previous week. False: Technicians can only enter time entries for the current week. If you are using Manager Approval for time sheets and the manager rejects an entry from the previous week, the MobileTech user will not be able to update the entry.
UseSyncPrompt	To help prevent issues with users having multiple devices, a sync prompt automatically displays on the device if the user hasn't synchronized their device after the SyncInterval value (hours). You can also set the CheckInterval (minutes) that determines how often MobileTech checks to see if the SyncInterval has been reached. Once the technician syncs the device, the Sync Interval resets. If the technician selects Cancel on a sync reminder prompt, this is logged in the JSBridge file on the device. The log file includes the date and time that Cancel was selected. The log file can be sent and you will be able to see if the technician was not syncing when they were prompted. The default value is True.
SyncInterval	This value determines how frequently (in hours) should the technician be syncing their devices. The default value is 4 Hours. This option is enabled if UseSyncPrompt is set to True.
CheckInterval	This value determines how frequently (in minutes) should MobileTech check if the SyncInterval has been reached. The default value is 15 minutes. This option is enabled if UseSyncPrompt is set to True.
ShowRelatedAppointmentsOnCompletion	Allows technicians to view related appointments for the service call or job, regardless of the assigned technician. Technicians can also access related appointments from the Appointment form on the Related tab. The default value is True. See View Related Appointments. True: The Related Appointments button is displayed on the Completion form. False: Technicians do not see the Related Appointments button on the Completion form.
