I am finished with all of my setup, now how do I use the PestPac Mobile App with the IPM Module? IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management and includes the features of areas, devices and conditions. Check out this video for an overview of using the IPM Module: https://youtu.be/oywse0ngwxy Continue below for a walk through of using the IPM features. After logging in to the app it will default to the next work date of Service Orders with each Service Order listing the time / Time range, name, address, service code and color if assigned. Anything grayed out is already completed.
The Hamburger Icon in the top right corner has the options to create new orders, search existing orders, lock your application, log out and read about the version. Tap on the Hamburger Icon again to close this menu.
To perform a service order tap on the service to load the Order screen.
NOTE: If you see the following prompt when going into an order it means the office staff is utilizing a feature called HH ALERT notes. In PestPac, if a note is added to a location with the code of HHALERT it will appear for all orders tied to that location when accessed from the PestPac Mobile App. An expiration date can be used if the message only needs to appear for a set amount of time. If you do not see this, your company is not utilizing this feature. When going into an order with an HH ALERT for the first time it will appear like this. If you tap on the Back Arrow in the top left corner it will bring you to the order and this alert will continue to pop up each time you access an order for this location.
If you tap on Dismiss it will no longer pop up every time you access an order for this location. Instead, it will appear as an alert at the top that you can tap on again in the future to access. If you do not tap on dismiss then it will pop up every time you access an order for this location in the future until the expiration date is reached if it was used.
The following screenshots review the tech options that are available in service orders from the app. 1. The camera icon allows you to snap a picture of the property and attach it. A picture will be pre-loaded by Google Maps and can be replaced if needed. Once saved, it will be applied as the image for all orders for that location moving forward. This also uploads to the Documents section of the Locatiohn as a jpeg file. 2. The map icon loads a map of the location address if it is geocoded.
