Saving New Event
When you save a new Work Order event, following validations are applied, and save goes through only if these conditions are satisfied:
• The Event subject must not be blank and must not be longer than 80 characters.
• If the event duration equals the sum of all Duration components. This happens if the value of global configuration setting SET023 is True.
• If the new event does not overlap any existing Work Order event. This happens if the value of global configuration setting SET025 is Disallow.
• If the new event does not overlap any existing non-Work Order even This happens if the value of global configuration setting SET025 is Disallow and SET028 is False.
If you check All day event, the event created will be saved with All-Day Event checkbox in Salesforce Event / ServiceMax Event record* checked, time set to 12:00 AM GMT on the Arrive time, and Depart time is set to 12:00 AM GMT.
*Event object used depends on the value of GBL025, and whether Salesforce User is specified in the Technician record / Enable Scheduling is checked in the Technician record.
On successful save, the following Work Order fields are updated:
