You can use Search field on the SM Dispatch Board to filter information technician, customer, site, customer PO, call type, trip status, work order, agreement, center, or division.

The Search field, when used in tandem with either the Today or Go To Date buttons, allows you to filter by technician, customer, site, customer PO, call type, trip status, work order, agreement, center, or division. Select filtered search's results, then click Search to have results simultaneously appear on the dispatch board.

As you enter data in the Search bar, the results may contain multiple items with the same characters. To distinguish between different item types (customer, service site, work order, etc.), the results include icons that identify the item type so that you know what you are selecting. These icons are as follows:
