Below you will find the Mobile Settings that you can use for the supervisors in the field. See Instructions on how to enter MobileManager Settings here.
Default Values will be used if the Entry does not exist.
Setting | Data Type | Description | Default Value | Recommended Value | Possible Values <Value>(<Description>) |
| AllowContactMethodOverride | Boolean | Whether the user is allowed to override the default contact method for a given supplier when scheduling a task | TRUE | TRUE | TRUE/FALSE |
| BaselineInterval | int | Hours before another baseline can be downloaded on a particular contract. | 1 | 1 | Integers |
| ForecastInterval | int | Hours before another forecast can be downloaded on a particular contract. | 24 | 24 | Integers |
| CACUserCanChange | Boolean | Not yet implemented. | TRUE | TRUE | TRUE/FALSE |
| CACPhoneConf | Char | Whether to enforce, prompt or do nothing for using Call & Confirm when scheduling a key task with a phone supplier. A - Always uses C&C for phone callups P - Prompts the user and asks them if they want to use C&C for phone callups N - No automated use of C&C. The user can still select it via the drop down list If you delete the Validation entry then the user is able to use their preference. | N | N | A(Always) P(Prompt) N(None) |
| CACOtherConf | Char | Whether to enforce, prompt or do nothing for using Call & Confirm when scheduling a key task with any non-phone supplier. A - Always uses C&C for normal callups P - Prompts the user and asks them if they want to use C&C for normal callups N - No automated use of C&C. The user can still select it via the drop down list If you delete the Validation entry then the user is able to use their preference. | N | N | A(Always) P(Prompt) N(None) |
| CACWarningHours | Int | The maximum expected time for a C&C to be confirmed, in hours. If this time is exceeded, the C&C appears on the home screen as a late confirmation. | 4 | 4 | An integer representing hours |
| CompactView | Boolean | Whether to display the callsheet in Compact mode. Only set this if you want to enforce the supervisors to view the call sheet in a particular mode. | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE/FALSE |
| CompleteView | Boolean | Whether to display the callsheet in Compete (IE Expand All) mode.Only set this if you want to enforce the supervisors to view the call sheet in a particular mode. | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE/FALSE |
| ContractSortOrder | String | The order that the joblist will be sorted in. Generally I'd recommend leaving this blank, unless you for some reason want to restrict the supevisors to ordering their list in a particular way | | | The field name(s) to sort by |
| DDDeliveryListNameX | String | This setting specifies the name for the particular delivery instruction list.There are up to 4 delivery lists, replace the X with the number you want to use. There is a built in list already assigned to 1, so if you want to use that list along with custom lists then start at 2. | | | A string containing the Delivery List Name. It's best to keep this concise |
| DDDeliveryListX | String | This setting specifies the values in a for the particular delivery instruction list.There are up to 4 delivery lists, replace the X with the number you want to use. There is a built in list already assigned to 1, so if you want to use that list along with custom lists then start at 2. | | | A pipe (|) delimited list containing each item to have in the drop down. For example, "Left hand side|Right hand side|On verge" |
| DRUserCanChange | Boolean | Whether the user is allowed to manually change their date ranges. This is basically the limits that prevent scheduling too far into the future and so on. This refers to all other settings starting with DR | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE/FALSE |
| DRPlannedBehind | int | Number of days before today's date that a work item can be planned This restricts the date planned field on the Schedule Screen. The default value of 1 means that the Planned date can be set to yesterday, but not the day before and not any earlier. Changing this to a large value means that the Supervisor can set the Planned date to many days in the past which is both inaccurate and provides a way of enabling the Supervisor to not doing anything for a long time and then update the system to 'pretend' they were using it properly. | 1 | 1 | |
| DRPlannedAhead | int | Number of days after today's date that a work item can be planned This restricts the date planned field on the Schedule Screen. The default value of 40 means that the Planned date can be set up to 40 days in the future. A low value means that the Supervisor is restricted from being proactive, but at the same time prevents them from a 'Set-and-Forget' mentallity. Additionally, this prevents dates from mistakenly being way to far in advance such as the same day and month of next year. | 40 | 40 | |
| DRDueBehind | int | Number of days before today's date that a work item can be due (ie estimated complete) This restricts the date due field on the Schedule Screen. The default value of 0 means that the Supervisor cannot insert a Due Date before today. If the Supervisor 'expects' the task to be completed yesterday, he should be able to update the Actual Completed, and not worry about providing an Expected value. | 0 | 0 | |
| DRDueAhead | int | Number of days after today's date that a work item can be due (ie estimated complete) This restricts the date due field on the Schedule Screen. The default value of 5 means that the Supervisor cannot insert a Due Date for farther out than 5 days from today. A large value means that the Supervisor cannot 'speculate' too far out into the future. A low value means that the Supervisor is restricted to only providing estimates for tasks where there is a high degree of control over their input. | 5 | 5 | |
| DRStartedBehind | int | Number of days before today's date that a work item can be started This restricts the date started field in the Wizard and in the Complete Task Screen. The default value of 4 means that the Supervisor can input a value for Actually started up to 4 days in the past. This provides a means of updating the system where the supervisor forgot. Additionally, the assumption here is that since it is a true date, representing something the Supervisor knows to have happened, it can be reasonably accurate. A large value, or too large a value allows the Supervisor to fudge and be forgetful. | 4 | 4 | |
| DRStartedAhead | int | Number of days after today's date that a work item can be started (generally 0) This restricts the date started field in the Wizard and in the Complete Task Screen. The default value of 0 means that the Supervisor can input a value for Actually started until the task has Actually started. Using a value larger than 0 will lead to inaccuracy. | 0 | 0 | |
| DRCompletedBehind | int | Number of days before today's date that a work item can be completed This restricts the date completed in the Wizard and in the Complete Task Screen. The default value of 1 means that the Supervisor can input a value for Actually completed up to 1 days in the past. This provides a means of updating the system where the supervisor forgot. Additionally, the assumption here is that since it is a true date, representing something the Supervisor knows to have happened, it can be reasonably accurate. A large value, or too large a value allows the Supervisor to fudge and be forgetful. | 1 | 4 | |
| DRCompletedAhead | int | Number of days after today's date that a work item can be completed (generally 0) This restricts the date completed field on the Wizard and in the Complete Task Screen. The default value of 0 means that the Supervisor can input a value for Actually Completed until the task has Actually Completed. Using a value larger than 0 will lead to inaccuracy. | 0 | 0 | |
| LocalPhonePrefix | int | The prefix automatically attached to phone numbers that don't already have a prefix. This only needs to be set if the supervisors are using the PDAs as a phone | 8 | 8 | Any valid phone prefix |
| MaxSyncUpload | int | The maximum number of synchronous items that can be uploaded in one batch. Synchronous items are basically everything apart from schedules. Best kept under 30. | 5 | 10 | An integer representing the max number of items |
| MaxSyncUpload | int | The maximum number of asynchronous items that can be uploaded in one batch. Asynchronous items are basically just schedules. Best kept under 30. | 15 | 20 | An integer representing the max number of items |

| JOBPositiveDaysIsDaysAhead | Boolean | This determines the way days ahead/behind are displayed on the Job List and CallSheet. If this is set to true, then positive days mean the job is ahead, so 1 would mean the job is running 1 day ahead of schedule, -5 would mean 5 days behind schedule. If this is set to false then negative days mean the job is ahead, so 1 would mean the job is running 1 day behind schedule, -5 would mean 5 days ahead of schedule. | TRUE | TRUE | TRUE/FALSE |
| JOBVisitExpire | int | This determines how long a job in the Job List will stay highlighted in blue after it has had an action performed on it. | 1 | 1 | an int representing days |
