Contact grouping and inline creation

Loc8 avatar
Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

Searching for and creating contacts against a job, quote, asset etc has been simplified through the introduction of contact type grouping and inline creation.

Now when you edit a field, for example Alternate contact on a job, you will see all of your contacts grouped into Workforce, Customer and Customer contact sections to help visualise what sort of contact they are, and as you type, if you don't see the person you're looking for you will be presented with the option to create them without having to go to another workspace to do so.

You'll now be notified if someone updates something you're looking at, across all major Loc8 workspaces, be it a quote, job, invoice, asset etc.

If you are looking at a quote for example, and another person (or multiple people, or an external integration) happen to be working on it at the same time, as soon as they make a change you'll be notified in near real time that someone has updated the quote.

Disable users and technicians

Loc8 avatar
Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

To help you manage how and when your workforce can access Loc8, you can now disable users and technicians from the workforce area which effectively prevents them from being able to log in to Loc8 to access data, perform work and so on.

When a user or technician is disabled, all of their data is retained, and they can be re-enabled again at any time.
