About using the PMFS solution - Work assignments
With the Work assignments module in the Planon app, field engineers / technicians can find the work assignments that have been assigned to them or to their team. The app's technology and features ensure that the back-office gets updated correctly, even if they are working at remote locations.
 | Like most Planon app modules, Work assignments can be customized. This means that names, labels, etc. used in this user documentation may differ from what you see on your app. |
Planon app and the Work assignments module
With the correct license, the Work assignments module is available for the Planon app, which is the 'shell' application that you can download from your app store. You can use Work assignments alongside various other licensed Planon app modules that are available.
Features of Work assignments:
• fast and intuitive maintenance job handling,
• health and safety procedures to ensure compliance,
• registration of time and materials,
• taking photos
• adding comments
• uploading of document files and images
• updating the work assignment's status
• viewing linked work assignments
• applying a temporary fix

| | Work assignments is designed to work as an offline solution. Synchronization between mobile device and back-office takes place via virtual 'envelopes' and messages which will carry all registered PMFS actions from mobile device to back-office. If you are online, this happens real-time. If you are offline, the messages are retained on your device until you are online again, and are then sent to the back-office. |

• Work assignments
