How assigned to field personnel
  1. Assign checklists to maintenance SLAs. Generate work requests (based on SLA) and assign to craftspersons in the standard way.
  2. When craftsperson syncs, Archibus generates events (activity log items) for the checklists by copying the information from the work request to the event so the checklist and work request are linked.
  3. When the craftsperson accesses their assigned work request in mobile, they access the checklist.
  1. Assign questionnaires to compliance requirements and contract terms.
  2. Define and generate events for requirements and contract terms.
  3. Questionnaires are assigned to staff through staff's assignments to events.
