This guide assumes your company hasn't taken away your ability to Assign your Work orders to others
Setting whether someone can self assign
Your Administrators control it here:
Getting to Preferences
Getting to Access Manager
The Access manager requires that you have rights to the "Access Manager" license. YOU decide what permissions it needs, not us, that is discussed elsewhere.) The Access Manager is on the Configuration page
Start by clicking on the main menu button on the left panel, top left portion.
If the menu button isn't visible, you are likely on a screen too narrow to see everything, press on the left pointing gold button to take you so you can see the menu button.
Variation 1: What you have access to
Depending on the size of your screen, what products your company has purchased and what rights you have been granted, the choices in the menu will vary.
Variation 2: How wide your window is
The menu will show up as 1, 2 or 3 columns depending on how wide your screen is.
If you are on a cell phone, and some smaller tablets in portrait mode or a narrow window on a laptop or desktop, you'll see the menu as one column that you scroll through using your finger or the scroll wheel or the scroll bar depending on your device, browser and whether you have a touch screen or not.
A bit wider, some cell phones in landscape, some tablets in portrait, most tablets in landscape and 'somewhat' wider laptop/desktop, will show it as 2 columns wide, with the middle column available on the left by scrolling down
And wider screens, some landscape tablets, and wider windows on a laptop or desktop show it as 3 columns. If you have all the dropdown sections expanded, it may still require vertical scrolling to see all the choices depending on the height of your device or window.
Once the menu is up, the exact location of the configuration button depends on how wide your window is and how many options you have access to. On most it will be at the top of the 2nd or 3rd column of the menu but on a cell phone or narrow window, it will be down partway in the first column.
Then from there you choose the Access Manager, or what we call the funny green key
You can also click on the right hand V button in the main menu (if you don't already have it open), noting if you do it this way, you can directly pick the Access Manager tool that you want to go into.
Now press the Preferences button
As a technician, the key thing to remember is: Assign it to others BEFORE you remove yourself from the list of assignees. This is not an issue for Administrators with normal administrator permissions.
OR after you assign it to someone else, either mark it 'rejected' in your assignment (if that feature is turned on) or mark your assignment as 'complete'.
