Summary

Oneserve search views can be used to filter jobs which are in need of additional appointments to help schedulers find work that needs to be assigned.

jobStatusGroup in ('In Progress') and job in jobsWithEvents('RA') and job not in jobsWithAppointments(PENDING, "all")
jobStatusGroup in ('In Progress','Pending')
- Shows all jobs which are in a pending or in progress stateand job in jobsWithEvents('RA')
- Shows only jobs which have had the "Additional Appointment Required" event adding to themand job not in jobsWithAppointments(PENDING, "all")
- Shows only jobs which do not have a pending appointment against them
Specific Additional Appointment Reasons
Using the "Additional Appointment Reason" filter, you can filter by specific reasons given for the additional appointment.
