Service Organisations
The Service Organisations tab can be used to create, delete and edit service organisations for a company.
Service Organisations allow to set up the organisational structure of the manufacturer / service provider if the company is divided into different sales and/or service locations. An example would be to set up a Service Organisation for every country with a service location. Service Organisations allow to grant users access to the different locations and the respective customers.
The Service Organisations overview displays information such as:
- Service Organisation
- Name of the Service Organisation.
- Follow the Sun
- Follow the Sun is a feature that allows different service organizations to provide support during their office hours for all other organisations. This can ensure 24/7 support availability for service recipients, regardless of the original organisation's office hours.
- Status
- Calculated availability information, based on office hours.
- Office Hours
- Time this Service Organisation is available (Holidays are currently not configurable).
- Time Zone
- Time zone for the Follow the Sun configuration.
- Dispatcher
- The dispatcher is a user belonging to the Service Organisation that gets an alert when a Service Case gets delegated to his Service Organisation via the Follow the Sun feature.
- Blacklist
- The Service Organisation blacklist is used to exclude specific other Service Organisations from being available to handle Service Cases when this organisation is out of office.
