Context
Create a FleetLogic technician user in SRM to allow them to access the FleetLogic web and/or mobile applications to take advantage of their functionality.
Notes:
- This article covers the minimum required steps to create the technician user and grant them FleetLogic access. For more detailed coverage of creating a user, see “Create a User in SRM”.
- See “Create a FleetLogic User in SRM” for more information on how to create a FleetLogic driver, logistics manager, or service manager user.
Divisions and Locations
The division and location the user is assigned to during the creation process is vitally important. You can enable a user to view the information related to one, some, or all divisions and locations in FleetLogic. Setting this up for a user has a dramatic effect on the data they have access to. See “Add a FleetLogic User to Multiple Divisions in SRM” for more information on how to add a user to multiple divisions.
In addition, when setting up a user for multiple divisions, you have the ability to set different security roles for each division, giving you full flexibility in terms of what your users can see and do in FleetLogic. For example, a user might have permission to edit a work order in one division, but only view work orders in another. See “About Permissions and Menu Access in FleetLogic” for more information on controlling what users can see and do.
Drivers and Technicians
When creating a driver or technician user, there are additional steps required for each role that are not required for the other roles. These steps add the driver(s) or technician(s) to any driver or technician selection dropdowns in certain parts of FleetLogic, such as work orders or tickets.
Unlike when you create a driver user, when creating a technician user, you must first add them to the list of technicians in SRM. When you add the user to the list of technicians, you obtain an employee number for them. You can then add this employee number to the user profile you create for that technician.
Note: See “Create a FleetLogic Driver User in SRM” for more information on how to create a driver user.
