We added a depart message
If the customer has a cell number or email address set up in Evosus Legacy Software, you can send them a message when you depart from their location. The default text of this message can be set up in Evosus Legacy Software, and then customized by the tech before it is sent. This works just like the On My Way, and Arrived messages.
You must be connected to the internet to use this feature. That means you need to be connected to Wi-Fi, or have data usage enabled on your device.-
In Evosus Legacy Software, set up the standard message text using the Mobile Dashboard (Administration > Mobile > Mobile Dashboard > Arrive/Depart Message tab).

Monitor Arrivals/Departures

- Task Status doesn't update until the sync - The Task Status column on the Mobile Check-In screen will not update until the device is synced. That means you can see that a tech has departed from a task, but the Task Status is still Sched.
Barcode scanner currently does not support UPC-A format
Currently, the barcode scanner in Evosus Mobile Services does not work on UPC-A formatted barcodes. A UPC-A barcode is a 12-digit barcode where the first digit identifies the numbering system. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
