The Site Access functionality improves the on-site experience between technicians and location staff and increases the transparency of the check-in/out process.
Your clients that use the Site Access feature can enable site access rules for specific locations, trades, or any combination of them. Should a particular rule be triggered at one location, it doesn’t mean that the same rule will apply to other locations. The same is true for trades.
| Info |
|---|
Your client should inform you about the enabled site access rules that affect how you check in and out. |
Site access rules that your client sets up may affect the following:
- Whether you need to log in to ServiceChannel Provider with your technician account or you can use a PIN instead before checking into work orders
- If check-in via the IVR system is enabled
- Whether a custom message is displayed if you try to check in outside of the location’s business hours
- If you can check in or out outside the specified GPS radius — distance around a facility within which a you are considered to be on-site
- Whether you are automatically checked out of work orders after the specified period of time in case you didn’t perform a check-out
