Once your workforce progresses through a job lifecycle as guided by the Loc8 Mobile app and end their work, the FSR is generated for that appointment. It compiles all the data received from work logs entered by the person assigned to the job and presents it in a format that's ready to share, print and download.

From the Jobs workspace, select the job for which an appointment has been completed.

In the example below, the job has been marked as Completed indicating that it has completed an appointment and the FSR is now ready to view.

Click View Appointment Completed <date of completion>.

The FSR opens in a new browser tab furnishing all the work details as shown below:

This FSR is not just available from within your account but can also be shared with any other concerned member involved in the job.

RECOMMENDATION: Before you share the FSR, we recommend that you have your business logo and company address updated to reflect the current details on the document. You can update them at Settings icon on the main menu panel of your screen -> Admin Settings -> Company tab.

You can share the field service report using its URL. Simply copy the URL from the browser.

Open the Share and Export option on the job and send the link to the FSR as an email to anyone within or outside your company.

Once the message is sent out to the recipient, they will receive an email in the following format:

If someone wants to view the job highlights such as the work details, appointments, its associated tasks and assets without getting into the Loc8 system, you can share a link to the job with that person.

There are two ways to share the link to the job:

OPTION 1: Copy the link
