Subscribe to Notifications

AyaNova users can subscribe to be notified of events via external email, via external SMS text paging, via internal AyaNova popup or via internal AyaNova memo.

You can specify time frame and days of the week when acceptable to be notified - useful for employees that share "on-call" duties

Examples of events a schedulable user may subscribe to being notified about:

bulleta new workorder item has been created where that schedulable user has been scheduled.
bulleta part requested to be ordered from within a workorder has been received into inventory
bulleta client places a service request
bulleta workorder item where that schedulable user is scheduled has been edited.
bulleta workorder has become "stale" (has not been closed by a set time frame after the scheduled date)
bulletand more

Clients can be notified via email when a service request has been accepted, new service workorder created, when status of a workorder has changed, when a workorder has been completed (and received an attachment of the AyaNova workorder desired) and/or a follow up email after work has been completed to check in with them.
