Management and entry of service events

Introduction

The document contains a shortened user guide of the AMAGE Web application in the field of service events. The document focuses only on the application available via a web browser and covers the process of configuring the flow of information regarding service events, but also further operation and reporting faults during the operation of the system.

All functions related to reporting service events are also available through applications available on mobile devices and desktop applications.

Service events flow

Any set of event states and event types can be defined in the application.

Event type is a category to which we assign a given service event. It can be, for example, a division into categories according to damage, e.g. failure, defect, note, etc.

Event status is the feature of the service event that it has at the moment. Most often, the event states are defined according to the event flow during its resolution in the plant/factory, etc. Usually the event states are events of the following types: New event (event reported), In progress, the event is being resolved, *Completed * the event has been resolved. During the implementation of these states, comments to the event, a list of external services and warehouse documents appear. The person assigned to the event also changes.

Normally, an event can only have one person assigned to it. This is related to a clear indication of responsibility, who is currently obliged to take further action in the event. NOT this excludes the possibility of entering comments and information by other people.
