    ENHANCEMENTS TO CUSTOMER/STORE PORTAL

    Several significant enhancements are available to the Customer Portal in 7.6a.

    ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS

    Clients have often requested the ability to make documents like site maps, maintenance procedures, pictures, etc.

    available to customers via the portal.

    SHOW CUSTOMER DOCUMENTS

    A new setting is available in the theme settings page under the Home Page View, as seen below.

    Figure 1: Detail from Customer > Customer Portal Admin > Themes

    When this is enabled, a new documents option appears in the View dropdown of the Home Page, as shown in

    Figure 2.

    REQUEST APPROVAL EXTENSIONS

    A number of changes have been made to the Request Approval to better support various client workflows

    including the need in commercial property management for hierarchical approvals.

    It is easiest to understand this through an example scenario. In it, a store manager places a request that exceeds

    his/her limit (according to the Work Orders NTE). When this workflow is turned on, the work order is placed On-

    Hold, and someone with sufficient authority (e.g.: Regional Manager) is notified to review and approve the

    request. When approved, the work order is then sent to the assigned resource.

    EXAMPLE SCENARIO

    The system must be setup appropriately which includes:

    Theme settings include

    o Enable request approvals - Ono Automatically send any work orders in the new status - On

    Notifications are turned on. Specifically the Request Needs Authorizingo Type is enabledo According to the theme, the Regional Manager shall be sent the notification (e.g.: send to

    Customer or Customer Group Primary)

    Contacts are set-up

  • 7/30/2019 Spring 2012 Release - CorrigoNet Version 7.6a

    9/37

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 9

    o Store Manager the work flow will only be enabled when a request is placed on a WO thatexceeds the managers limit

    o Regional Manager has sufficient authority to approve AND their notification threshold is belowthe NTE

    NTEs are set upScenario:

    1. Store manager places a request via the portal2. Contact selects to get the work done 3. On the confirmation page, the manager see a note that the work has been created by not yet sent as seen

    in Figure 5.

    Figure 5: Confirmation page of Service Request Wizard

    4. The Regional Manager will now receive a notification: New Work Order Requires Sending5. Regional Manager logs in and sees the work order needs her attention (Figure 6)

    Figure 6: Portal Home page showing work needing attention

    6. RM presses Review Request and sees a dialog box (Figure 7)

    Figure 7: Review Request dialog

    7. RM approves the request8. The WO becomes New9. The WO is automatically sent to the assignee

    CONTACT REQUEST LIMIT SETTING

    The Customer Contact field Send Limit has been renamed Request Limit as shown inFigure 8

    Figure 8: Detail of Contact Details showing Request Limit setting

    Note:

    Send limit restricts the work a contact may request from a vendor based on NTE

  • 7/30/2019 Spring 2012 Release - CorrigoNet Version 7.6a

    11/37

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 11

    Authorization limit restricts the value of invoices the contact may authorize.

    THEME SETTINGS FOR WORKFLOW

    Prior to 7.6a, there was a single Theme setting called Send Provider Work Orders which had an option ofBased

    on Send Authority. This has been replaced by 2 settings:

    Enable request approvals Automatically send any work orders in the new status

    as shown below.

    Figure 9: Customer > Customer Portal Admin > Themes > [Theme] > Settings

    ENABLE REQUEST APPROVALS

    This setting is used to restrict a contacts ability to send work to vendors. When it is enabled AND a work request is

    created new (as opposed to an estimate or deferring the work) the WOs NTE is compared to the contacts Request

    Limit. If limit is insufficient (NTE>Limit) then the work order is placed On Hold with a reason Request needs

    customer approval.

    AUTOMATICALLY SEND ANY WORK ORDERS IN THE NEW STATUS

    When this is enabled, New work orders are automatically sent to service providers. When a work order enters the

    New status via the portal (i.e.: it is created, approved, re-assigned, etc.) then its automatically sent.

    Work Orders will be sent whenever:

    Work order is created in the New status When a work order is approved When a work order is re-assigned and the status becomes New When an estimate is accepted When a work order is un deferred

    WORK FLOWS SUPPORTED

    The setting is there to support the two primary use cases; where the customer portal communicates directly with

    the vendors and needs to automatically send work orders or where the customer portal communicates with a

    facility group who then communicates with the vendors.

    Workflow Enable Request Approvals Automatically send any wo

    order in the new status

    Store managers (contacts) have full authority to manage all

    maintenance for their stores.

    Off Yes

    Store creates requests but work is actually dispatched to

    vendors by a facility team.

    Off No

    Store managers have limited authority. At a certain $ level

    their requests must be approved before being dispatched

    to vendors.

    On Yes

    Store creates requests, at a certain $ level requests must

    be approved. After approval, a facility team performs the

    dispatching.

    On No

    APPROVING A REQUEST

    When a work order is put on hold due to request approvals being on, the reason is Request needs customer

    approvaland the customer notification Request Needs Authorizing is triggered.

    The notification is a tweaking of a prior notification and can be seen in the configuration pages shown in Figure 9

    and Figure 10.

    Work orders in this state will appear with a Review Request action button in the Customer Portal as seen in

    Figure 6.

    APPROVAL LIMIT

    If the user does not have a sufficient request limit to review a request they will see a warning dialog showing the

    default string The NTE in this work order is greater than the maximum dollar amount you are allowed to approve.

    Someone with a higher request limit will need to login to approve it.

    ON APPROVAL

    The work order is re-opened and:

    The note entered is added as the re-open comments The work order is sent, If:

    o The work order is assigned to a connected Provider, ANDo Customer portal theme setting Automatically send approved work orders = yes

    REJECT

    The work order is cancelled with the reason Customer Cancelled Request and the contents of the text area used

    to populate the reason for the cancellation.

    ENHACEMENTS TO THE CUSTOMER PORTAL ASSIGNMENT

    Feedback from clients was that they wanted the ability to not allow assignments to their s tores initially, but to

    allow reassignments. They wanted their stores to not have a choice initially forcing them to use the primary

    vendor - but to be able to react if the vendor rejects.

    Prior to 7.6a, there were 2 portal theme settings:

    Allow assignment/re-assignment with options:

    No To preferred providers only To any provider

    And another Allow auto-assignment from the customers portal with options:

    Yes No

    There was a problem in that the 2 were interconnected: If Allow assignment/re-assignment is set to any valueother than No then the Allow auto-assignment from the customers portal setting was ignored.

    ASSIGNMENT SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION

    To fix this, 2 new independent settings Assignment and Re-assignment were created as shown below:

    Figure 12: Detail of Themes settings page

    ASSIGNMENT SETTINGS

    None - The assignment selection page is not shown in the wizard and auto-assignment is switched offwhen the work order is created. The resulting work orders will always be unassigned.

    Automatic- The assignment selection page is not shown in the wizard and the work order is auto-assigned when created. The resulting work orders may or may not be assigned.

    Assisted (to preferred providers) - The assignment selection is displayed, showing only preferredProviders

    Assisted (to any provider) - The assignment selection page is displayed showing all ProvidersRE-ASSIGNMENT SETTINGS

    None - There is no re-assign option in the available actions dropdown on the work order details page.Work order rejected notifications are not sent.

    Assisted (to preferred providers only) - There is a re-assignment option and work order rejectednotifications are sent.

  • 7/30/2019 Spring 2012 Release - CorrigoNet Version 7.6a

    15/37

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 15

    Assisted (to any provider) - There is a re-assignment option and work order rejected notifications aresent.

    HOW WE EXPECT THE SETTINGS TO BE USED

    We expect the settings to be used as follows

    Policy/Organization Supported Assignment Re-assignment

    Operations has a high degree of decision making and handles all

    assignment decisions down at the store level

    Assisted Assisted

    Operations are required to use preferred providers but can re-assign in

    the case of exception (e.g. the work order is rejected or the provider is

    non-responsive)

    Automatic Assisted

    All assignment/re-assignment handled by a facility team and the

    assignment process is invisible to operations

    None/Automatic None

    NOTE THE AUTOMATIC/ASSISTED CONFIGURATION (2ND ROW ABOVE) DOES NOT EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT

    STORES FROM ASSIGNING WORK FOR REASONS OTHER THAN EXCEPTION BUT IT IS EXPECTED THAT THIS

    WILL BE ENFORCED THROUGH COMMUNICATION OF COMPANY POLICIES, OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF THE

    SYSTEM.

    DEPENDENCIES

    The Notification: Work Order Rejected is now dependent on Re-assignment setting NOT being None The release action will only be visible when the re-assignment option is not None.

    ON UPGRADE

    The old settings are migrated as follows

    Old Settings New Settings

    Allow Assignment/Re-

    assignment

    Allow AutoAssignment Assignment Re-assignment

    No No None None

    No Yes Automatic None

    To preferred Dont care To preferred To preferred

    To any Dont care To any To any

    NEW WORK ORDER TABLE FIELDS

    A few new fields have been added to the Portal Work Order Table. These include:

    Figure 13: Customer > Customer Portal Admin > Themes > [Theme] > Work Order Table Configuration

    Agethis is X day(s); e.g. days only: 1 day or 2 days Needs Attention this is the age of the highest priority work order action that the user has visibility to,

    i.e. it is how long the work order has been waiting in the contacts needs attention list.

    Detailed Status - When the status is either Needs Attention or On-Hold, this field shows the reason,otherwise it shows the status. This is expected to be used in place of the status, not in addition to the

    current status.

    Figure 14: New fields shown

    IMPROVEMENT TO THE LAST STEP OF THE WIZARD

    When the Last Step in the wizard displays multiple options and the work order priority is emergency selecting

    some of these options takes the user to a page explaining that they cannot select this option. It has been pointed

    out that this is not very friendly allowing the user to make a mistake and then telling them to go back to correct

    it.

    Instead if the request is an emergency disable all radio selection except I just want thework done and then put

    an explanation next to the work done option (see below)

    ENHANCEMENTS TO BACK-OFFICE/CORP APP

    EMAIL BASED QUOTE APPROVAL

    This enhancement allows system users to approve submitted quotes and requests for NTE increases by replying to

    the received quote alert.

    The configuration and use described below should give a good idea of how these feature gets used.

    CONFIGURATION

    Requirements

    Quote Submitted/NTE Increase Request Alert is enabled (Figure 15) User (not customer contact) has access to the locations for which a quote is being requested User must be subscribed to alert (Figure 16) and have properly configured alert address User role has sufficient authority to approve the quote amount (Figure 17)

    Notes

    To ensure integrity or responses, users replying to approve the work order must have an email addressthat is unique to that user.

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 18

    Figure 17: User > Role List > [Role] > Role Name edit page

    USE SCENARIO

    The very simple usage scenario is as follows:

    1. A service request is created, assigned to provide2. A quote is requested and the WO is sent to a provider3. Provider fill out the quote and submits it4. User receives an email alert Quote of NTE increase request on WO#... as shown inFigure 185. User replies to the email with the word approve or reject (Figure 19)6. System receives the reply and processes it as an approved Quote (Figure 20)7. User will receive an email confirmation (Figure 21)

    If there is a problem processing the approval/rejection, an email will be provided informing the user, the different

    scenario s that may occur are described following the screen captures below.

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 20

    POSSIBLE SCENARIOS

    When a user replies to quote approval request, the following scenarios are possible:

    Success - replying user had sufficient authority found and the Approved or Rejected action wassuccessfully executed

    In sufficient authority email reply was successfully processed but the user had insufficient authority Action Error - an error occurred when taking the approve / reject action User not valid reply email was successfully processed, but the sending email address could not be

    associated with a valid user (this will also occur if there are 2 users in the system with the same email

    address)

    Already performed when the approve/reject had already been taken

    SPECIALTY GROUPS & DISPATCH BOARD SPECIALTY GROUP FILTER

    With the introduction of the updated Store Portal, clients are beginning to co-mingle other types of work orders

    such as IT work orders with traditional R&M.

    In one example, 3 different internal organizations are using the Corrigo Customer portal to support service

    requests. In this situation, work orders from 3 distinct functional groups are co-mingled. However, each of these

    functional groups wants to manage their work orders to the exclusion of work orders from the other functional

    groups.

    To achieve this, a Specialty Group Filter is provided on the dispatch board, as seen in Figure 22.

    A specialty group will be made up of a collection of specialties. A specialty group filter will give users a short-cut to

    easily hide work orders that are not of interest to themselves.

    Figure 22: When Use Specialty Group setting is enabled, filter appears as seen above. Clicking on it opens the dialog seen in Figure 23

  • 7/30/2019 Spring 2012 Release - CorrigoNet Version 7.6a

    21/37

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 21

    Figure 23: Specialty Group Dialog

    NOTE: SPECIALTY GROUPS ARE NOT INTENDED TO CONTROL DATA, THEIR OBJECTIVE IS TO HELP THE USER

    HIDE USELESS INFORMATION, NOT RESTRICT ACCESS TO A SUB SET OF WORK ORDERS.

    This enhancement creates the ability to create groups of specialties and provides a short-cut for users to filter out

    work that is not within their domain. For a client who has a large number of specialties, users will much more

    easily be able to filter the dispatch board by deselecting all other specialty groups and choosing a single group

    when compared to the current model where they have to deselect all specialties and select the 40 specialties that

    they care about.

    When enabled, the specialty group filter allows users to select from the list of specialty groups as opposed to the

    individual specialties.

    CONFIGURATION

    Specialty groups are configured as part of the knowledgebase (Figure 24) N specialty groups can be defined for any set of specialties in the system Unknown Specialty is treated as its own specialty and may be included or excluded from any group Access to Specialty group page is controlled by the existing privilege: Company KnowledgeBase A Dispatch Board setting: Use Specialty Groups must be enabled (Figure 26)

    FINANCIAL REPORTING PERIODS

    The following additional standard reporting periods were added to the system:

    Last 48 hours Next Week Prior 7 days Prior 30 days

    These options appear in report parameter time frame as shown in the example below.

    Figure 27: Detail from report view page showing a couple of the new time frame options.

    These are intended to help clients provide more appropriate reports, especially with subscriptions.

    DISALLOW VENDOR INVOICE AUTHORIZATION WHEN WO IS ACTIVE

    A new global setting disallows Vendor Invoices to be set to a Read-Only status when the Work Order is NOT yet

    competed.

    Figure 28: Financial > Settings > General

    This allows legacy behavior of the system which was relaxed in 7.5 in order to support Vendor pre-bills.

    The relaxation of the constraint became problematic for some upgrading clients who require work orders to be

    completed before the invoice may be authorized (or set to another appropriate Read-Only status)

    ON upgrade, default the setting to Yes.

    TENANT COI EXTENSIONS

    Support was added for two COI use cases:

    1. Tenant submits more than one Acord 25 form, since the different insurance categories may be distributedacross multiple COI documents e.g. one COI for general liability and one COI for workers comp. In our

    original design we assumed just a single COI document.

    2. Tenants submit an additional form for Commercial Property Liability. In our original design we assumedthat the Acord 25 form was the only form used.

    CHANGE TO CUSTOMER THEME SETTINGS LAYOUT

    Over time we have incrementally added more and more settings to the customer portal settings page. This has

    resulting in the grouping and ordering of the settings becoming "haphazard". The customer portal settings were

    updated in a more logical and consistent order.

    Additionally, many of the settings (labels and options) have been improved for consistency and comprehension.

    LOGGED IN USER ACCESS TO STOCK LOCATIONS

    Prior to 7.6a, a user of the corp interface could only selects parts and materials from THE ASSIGNED TOusers

    stock locations, when adding a material item in actual costs to a work order.

    There is a different use scenario for stock locations where the corp user should always be able to select parts &

    materials from within their own scope of stock locations, not necessarily the assigned to user. .

    NEW MATERIALS MANAGEMENT SETTING

    A materials setting:Grant corp user access to Stock Locations has options of:Assigned to Useror Logged In

    User, as shown below.

  • 7/30/2019 Spring 2012 Release - CorrigoNet Version 7.6a

    25/37

    Corrigo Incorporated Proprietary & Confidential Page 25

    Figure 29: New Materials Management Setting

    The default setting shall be Assigned to User, which is the way the system functioned previously.

    When the setting is set to logged in user, a user (on the Corp UI ONLY) will see in stock (and out of stock)

    locations within their own scope, not the assigned to user.

    LOG IN TO PORTAL FROM CONTACT DETAILS PAGE

    The Customer Service representative Request Wizard (CSR Wizard) is being deprecated beginning in version 7.6a.

    In its place, a user will now be logged in to the customers portal when placing a request from the Contactpage, as

    shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31, below.

    This makes for a more consistent usage between CSR and Customer contact. It also allows the CSR to take

    advantage of the Portals many new features that were not available via the CSR wizard.

    2 important notes:

    1. On upgrade, the CSR Wizard should be turned off. However it is still available for creating a request fromthe customer details (as opposed to the contact details) page. The recommendation is to leave this turned

    off as the Wizard will be going away in future release

    TABLET EXTENSIONS

    The tablet interface received several important enhancements that round out its capabilities for field mangers.

    These enhancements are listed below. Each of them, like the tablet UI itself, are straight-forward and easy to use.

    SUPPORT FOR PROVIDERS

    Assignment and reassignment to vendors/providers may be made from the assignment dialog. Clicking Assign or

    Re-assign (Figure 32) opens the assignment dialog which has a vendor tab, as seen in Figure 33.

    Selecting the vendor tab brings up the list with zip code and specialty based filters as seen. Select the provider and

    press the apply button.

    NOTE: THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ASSIGN AND SEND OPTION AVAILABLE SO THE USER MUST ASSIGN

    AND THEN USE THE SEND COMMAND TO SEND THE WORK.

    Clicking on send (Figure 32) brings up an editable send note dialog (Figure 34) which also allows a request quote

    option. Pressing Send sends the work order to the vendor.

    Figure 34: Send Note dialog with Quote option.

    DISPLAY FLAGS

    There is a Home navigation button that provides a quick way for users to see all flagged work orders as shown

    below.

    Figure 35: Tablet home screen with Flagged Work option.

    Work Order flags are visible in the list of work orders, along with the reasons (Figure 36), allowing users to quickly

    see the work orders that may need attention.

    Vendor Quote button brings up details of the quote (Figure 37) and the action button allows the user to approve or

    reject the quote.

    After pressing the icon, a dialog like the one shown below will appear. The work order will be sent as a cover email

    with a .htm attachment.

    Work Orders, as shown below.
